The little ferry at Sainte-MarineCycling loops
Along the sea
La Littorale cycle route no. 45 is almost 100km long and follows the coastline along the Bay of Audierne and the Bigouden ports from Plozévet to Sainte-Marine.
Here is a selection of 4 sections for your little tribe:
The little ferry at Sainte-MarineCycling on the rivers of Pont-l’Abbé and Odet?
Yes, it’s possible! With the P’tit Bac.
- Crossing the Pont-l’Abbé river from Loctudy toÎle-Tudy
- Crossing the Odet river from Sainte-Marine to Bénodet
If you want to go from one commune to another, you can take the P’tit Bac with your bikes. This saves you time on the cycle route and gives you the added bonus of a mini-cruise.
- You board at the last pontoon of the marina on the Loctudy side and at the end of the slipway on the Île-Tudy side.
- On the Sainte-Marine side, you board at the end of the small slipway next to the Café de la Cale.
Old railway lines
In the Bigouden region, two routes follow old railway lines.
The first follows the green lane between Pont-l’Abbé and Pluguffan, while the second follows the tracks of the Birinik train between Pont-l’Abbé and Saint-Guénolé. Two options that guarantee safety while taking you back in time.
Cycling on the green route - Pont-L'AbbéThe green route between Pont-l'Abbé and Pluguffan
The route starts in Pont-l’Abbé next to the recycling centre (car park nearby).
The greenway takes you as far as theKermathéano junction between Pluguffan and Plomelin. Ideal for families as it is very safe, this 12km path also has the advantage of being shady and easy to follow.
But don’t forget the rare level crossings, where you’ll need to be vigilant if you want to cross the road safely.
Birinik Train cycle route
This new route crosses the whole of the Pays Bigouden Sud, from north to south-west, covering almost 20 kilometres.
It starts in the historic town centre of Pont-l’Abbé and finishes at the fishing port of Saint-Guénolé. It passes through a total of 5 different communes.
For the curious, the birinik is the nickname given to the old railway line that ran through part of the area. This itinerary is suitable for everyone, especially families.
Away from busy roads, it offers a perfectly safe environment thanks to its various facilities (cycle paths, green lanes, safe crossings, road markings, etc).
