This cycle route will take you to the heart of the history of the small port town of Loctudy.
You'll discover chapels, churches and spectacular buildings that bear witness to the town's prosperous past. Pedal to the manor house of Kérazan, one of the oldest seigneuries in the Bigouden region, enjoy the bucolic setting of the river Pont-l'Abbé and take a break at Langoz beach. Loctudy is steeped in fishing history, with its harbour, lighthouse and above all its former 20th-century sardine canning factory. To understand this history, don't hesitate to end your walk at the Musée de la Conserverie Le Gall. It retraces the daily life of the people of Loctud in the 20th century, who lived to the rhythm of sardine fishing.
