Walks around Plouzané

Coastal walks

One of the municipality’s advantages is the large number of footpaths offering a wide range of walking opportunities. The best known is of course the GR34. This coastal path from Brest runs along the Plouzané coastline from east to west: it starts at Sainte-Anne beach, passes through the port and then the Fort du Dellec to reach Minou beach. It’s a great opportunity for walkers to admire and photograph the scenery of the Brest Narrows, the Crozon peninsula, the Petit Minou lighthouse etc.

In town and in the country

From the southern part (l’Arvor) to the northern part (l’Argoat), there are numerous other paths criss-crossing the municipality, offering a chance to discover its rural, urban and maritime aspects. Many of them are used for agricultural purposes, while others, closer to the residential areas, are ideal for strolls and easy shortcuts. The urban structure of Plouzané has a wealth of paths, inherited from the sunken lanes of the « bocage » (the woodland landscape) which today link the various districts of the municipality without having to use the main roads.

Strolling or cycling through Plouzané is also an opportunity to discover the little details of its rich heritage: fountains, manor houses, crosses, chapels… The paths discreetly tell the story of the town’s past.

By bike

With dozens of kilometres of cycle paths criss-crossing a large part of the area, Plouzané facilitates and encourages the development of environmentally-friendly travel. Cyclists can easily get from one neighbourhood to another via protected paths.
VéloZef, Bibus Brest’s e-bike service, is also available in the municipality, with 3 stations for charging and parking bicycles:

• place de la République (in front of the town hall) in Castel Nevez
• place de Kilrush in the old town centre
• at the Pierre Aigrain roundabout at the Technopôle
