Nature events guided

Can you make a boat, a musical instrument or a work of art from natural elements? Can you recognise the colours of a European bee-eater? Do you know where our migratory birds come from and why they stop here? And why is this string of pebbles so precious? Don’t panic, our nature guides are here to answer all your questions!

Rendezvous with nature

Whether inArmor (the coastline) orArgoat ( inland), the different environments of the Pays Bigouden offer a variety of nature outings. These focus on local biodiversity and natural and cultural heritage.

Several themes are on offer:

By the sea, the focus is on the foreshore and what the ocean uncovers at low tide. There’s also the dune, an ecosystem rich in life. Outings are also planned to discover the region’s heritage and history, such as this guided tour of the crusher at Tréguennec, a relic of the Second World War. Megaliths dot our countryside, but discovering them with a guide is even better!

If you’re a wildlife enthusiast, you can go birdwatching and learn more about migratory routes. A bat evening will teach you about the “black web”, an ecological network conducive to nocturnal life.

During some of the activities, you can use your imagination and creative talents…

Three nature guides share their knowledge

Three nature enthusiasts work in the Bigouden region to help all kinds of people discover the living world and the exceptional heritage that surrounds us.

Steven and Sterenn will guide you around the southern Bigouden region. They can describe the songs of the birds and love to fill their visits with tales, legends and other fascinating stories.
Valérie is the nature specialist for the Communauté de communes du haut Pays bigouden. She has trained in archaeology, which gives her the authority to comment on the menhirs, dolmen and other megaliths in the area.

If you’d like to spend some quality time with them, don’t hesitate to book a guided walk or a nature workshop.
