Itineraire GR34 – Lorient – From Lanester to Port-Louis

From Lanester to Port-Louis

Starting point: Auberge du Chemin de Fer, Lanester

Arrival: Port de la Pointe, Port-Louis

Today, you have a choice: the long or short version. Both start with one of the most bucolic and unspoilt sections between Kervignac (after Bonhomme bridge) and Locmiquélic. Walk alongside the Blavet, passing through picturesque hamlets, marshes, ponds, etc. Signs help you identify the migrating birds that nest here. At the Pen-Mané jetty in Locmiquélic, continue on the GR® 34 or take a bus, or even better a boat-bus (weekends), to Port-Louis La Pointe. That’s 6 km less for your legs! Did you stop in Lorient the day before? Here too, you can embark, at the fishing port or Quai des Indes, for a crossing to Port-Louis La Pointe. A day off will be good for those who are less sporty.

Slow navigation on the Lorient roadstead

Discover the Lorient roadstead on the water. At Locmiquélic, on Key Largo, hop on a hybrid boat that can take up to 9 passengers. Departing from Lorient-La Base or Port-Louis, the Escal’Ouest company also proposes guided and eco-sensitive outings. Another option is an exploration of the maritime Blavet river on a Tjak (Dutch sailing boat) with Au fil de l’eau.
