Explore bucolic landscapes and discover the small heritage sites of Combrit-Sainte-Marine.
After walking along the shaded paths of the Roscouré woods, admire the authenticity of the port of Sainte-Marine and its sailors' shelter. Enjoy a beautiful view of the ocean before heading back up through the woods to discover the Chapel of La Clarté and Saint-Tugdual Church, iconic monuments of Combrit.
Throughout the circuit, you will find numerous preserved fountains and wash houses, witnesses to everyday life in days gone by. Keep your eyes peeled, as they are sometimes hidden around a bend in the path.
