From the station to the canal" tour

Come on, we'll walk with you!
In the calm of the early morning, the canal looks so quiet from the heights of the town, and yet... The diversity of the landscape is one of the features that characterizes the Menez-Hom Atlantique destination, and the circuit from the station to the canal confirms this...

An ideal hike for families!
From the heights of Châteaulin to the banks of the Aulne, this hike is suitable for young and old alike! It's not just for good walkers. The circuits in the Menez-Hom Atlantique area are almost all hilly, but this route is the exception that proves the rule! What's more, the hike begins in a square where you'll have a privileged view of the Canal and the Châteaulin viaduct...

One hike, 2 atmospheres:
At the start of the hike, you admire the view of the canal over the heights of Châteaulin, in a wooded area where you'll be lulled by birdsong and flowering paths (bluebells, broom...). Then, at times, the wooded area breaks up to reveal a view of the Châteaulin countryside and its rapeseed fields... In this first part of the hike, tranquillity reigns, while at Port-Launay, the canal comes to life, ever so gently! Once you've reached Port-Launay, you'll follow the canal from Nantes to Brest, where the atmosphere is more maritime! Many pleasure boats are present.

A rich heritage
Along the way, you'll have the chance to appreciate a rich religious heritage (Saint-Idunet church, Saint-Nicolas church, both dating from the 19th century). We can't talk about heritage without mentioning the natural heritage offered by the Canal de Nantes à Brest. There's also a maritime heritage on offer, notably the lock and viaduct at the entrance to Châteaulin. Don't forget to stop off at the aquatic observatory at the Châteaulin lock!
