Hiking and walking in Brittany France

Hiking

on site Hundreds of kilometers hiking paths in the Monts d'Arree, the Yeun Ellez, the Leon area. Over a thousand kilometers on the path used in the past by the customs officers (Chemin des Douaniers) on the ocean shores or the Tro Breiz (or Tro Breizh) tour of Brittany, where "Tro Breiz" designates the pilgrimage in honour of the Seven Saints founders of Brittany.

Every year, on Ascension's Thursday, there is the "Tro Menez Are": one day of exceptional hikes in the Arre Mounts, on trails especially prepared for that day, on private grounds usually closed to the public. In 2010 the Tro Menez Are will take place in Huelgoat on April 13th.
