About

This walk explores the religious heritage of Lennon and several kilometres of the Nantes to Brest canal, alternating between the waterside and woodland. The start is at the Trinité church, in the village centre. After the canal, you discover the Saint-Nicolas and Saint-Maudez chapels and their springs. At the Ti Men bridge, where Lennon, Gouézec and Pleyben meet, you can see the Victor barge, a cargo boat once pulled by horses along the towpath. Picnic areas line the canal, with toilets at the Ti Men bridge. The loop is 10.4 km long; allow about 2 h 35 of walking. Start: the Trinité church, in the centre of Lennon. The official route, published by the Pleyben-Châteaulin-Porzay community of communes, is shown on the map and can be downloaded as a GPX file to follow on your phone.
