Nature & small heritage

Leave Carhaix town for Port-de-Carhaix on a greenway taking you to the confluence of the Hyères River and the Canal de Nantes à Brest. This stretch, free from motorised traffic, has remained largely untouched, with its unspoilt woods. Continue to Gourin, little capital of the Montagnes Noires hills. Here, in late July, there’s a big celebration of traditional Breton crêpes (pancakes).
