Covered walkways, impressive megalithic sites

#1 Covered walkway at Kermeur Bihan

We're off on a walk along the GR34 in Moëlan-sur-Mer from the Pointe de Kerfany to the cove of Sainte-Thumette... Approximately 1.5 km after the chapel of Lanriot, at the viewpoint over the port of Bélon, you need to go inland and it's here that you'll find the covered walkway of Kermeur Bihan.

This Neolithic covered walkway is listed as a Historic Monument, and you're sure to be impressed!

#2 Allée couverte de Kerantiec

Riec-sur-Bélon is home to the Kerantiec covered walkway, which has the unusual feature of being arched. If you're planning a walk to the Pointe de Penquernéo, stop off along the way to take a look at this unusual historical monument...

#3 Allée couverte de Kerlauret

Also known as the Lann Vraz covered walkway, the Kerlauret covered walkway is located in Moëlan-sur-Mer on the road leading to the port of Merrien... Partly ruined, several slabs are missing from this granite building.

#4 Allée couverte de Kergoustance

Located just a few hundred metres from the Moëlan-sur-Mer tourist information office, the covered alleyway at Kergoustance is listed as a Historic Monument and well worth a visit!

A cinerary urn, coins and sigillata discovered during excavations carried out in 1882 reveal the existence of a Roman presence and the reuse of this site as a burial ground.

Legend has it that the covered alleyway was home to korrigans, who invited the elderly and men on their way to the mill to dance around the monument all night long...

#8 Toulfoën menhir

The Toulfoën menhir is located in the heart of the forest of Carnoët  in Quimperlé, 400 metres north of the Toulfoën dolmen. Not far from the forest path and the road to Le Pouldu, this menhir is the ideal starting point for a refreshing walk in the forest!

#9 Menhir de Laniscar

A vestige of the Neolithic period, this pink granite menhir is a listed Historic Monument in the Trévoux countryside.

#10 Dolmen de Sainte-Anne

Situated 1 km from Bannalec town centre, this small dolmen features a partly collapsed table on the edge of a wood. It's the perfect place for a stroll through the hedged farmland...
