As you cycle along the picturesque coast of Guidel-Plages, you'll discover the stunning Laïta River mouth. This tranquil estuary, where the river meets the sea, offers a breathtaking view of the ocean and the surrounding countryside. You can explore the vast sandy beaches, go for a swim in the refreshing waters, or simply relax and soak up the sun. Don't miss the opportunity to wander through the charming seaside town of Guidel, with its colorful houses, quaint shops, and delicious seafood restaurants.

A great little single track, a bit technical, with a magnificent viewpoint (a cabin) over the Lannénec pond... You can even go down to the banks, which are very popular with fishermen!

Super friendly, pay attention to the surrounding area, the paths are 100% sand making it difficult to pedal and remember to wash your bike thoroughly after the ride

Fort-Bloqué was built in the 19th century on the spot where a battery intended to repel English assaults once stood. It is accessible on foot at low tide. The success of a hotel-restaurant on the formerly deserted coast attracted people from Lorient, some of whom settled there. Thus, the current town took shape.
