Hiking

6,300 hectares of the enchanted forest of Brocéliande, which once covered all of central Brittany, remain today. It is a little disheveled because the forest area is often no longer connected due to earlier clearing. Or because instead of slow-growing deciduous trees, people prefer to reforest with fast-growing pines.

Trail Reviews

Yves
April 1, 2024, Circuit de La Basse forêt de Brocéliande

Difficult route today due to numerous flooded and extremely muddy areas. Slow progression and permanent imbalance. But a magnificent circuit that we don't regret having done. Well equipped, we get there. Only one regret, part of the route seems deliberately obstructed by the owner of the place. Result, a detour of almost 600 meters. Too bad because it is a yellow and red listed hiking trail.
