Concarneau / Pont-Aven

Before continuing your adventure, treat yourself to one last stroll through the famous Ville Close, surrounded by 15th-century ramparts and lively terraces. Take your bike aboard the ferry for a short 200-meter crossing to the Lanriec district. Your journey along the coastal cycle route continues to the Pointe de Trévignon, via Trégunc. This area, popular with nature lovers, is a bird paradise and the property of the Conservatoire du Littoral. Further on, the cycle route passes through the village of Névez - welcome to thatched cottage country! Following the river Aven, the last pedal strokes of this stage take you to Pont-Aven, made famous by the works of Gauguin. Here, art galleries abound, perpetuating the bohemian spirit of yesteryear.

The route

On the whole, the route is relatively straightforward, but includes some road sections.

Please note that the V45/V5 coastal cycle route from Concarneau to Lanriec is provisional and not signposted, so you'll need to take the ferry.
