Sports and leisure

The "sentier des douaniers" (or GR34) offers a magnificent walk from Minaouet to Mousterlin, with over 30km of varied coastline to discover between land and sea.

Between coves, sandy beaches, cliffs and marshes, you'll come across an extremely rich fauna and flora.

Along the way, you'll also come across monuments such as the fortress of Le Cabellou, the walled town and some beautiful mansions. The local oyster farmers will invite you to a seaside tasting at the bend of a cove.

In addition to the GR34, you can stroll along the Odet, "the most beautiful river in France" according to Guillaume Apollinaire, discover the Penfoulic ponds, scour the Glénan archipelago or take the chapel tour.
