Discover Lézardrieux: Heritage on the Trieux

Lézardrieux lies right on the River Trieux. If you are looking for a hotel in Lézardrieux, you can plan your stay around your interests: religious buildings from different periods, walking and hiking trails, and excursions on the water offer a range of reasons to visit. The destinations and conditions below can help you plan your days in the area.

Chapels, church, and local heritage

The Chapelle Saint-Maudez de Kermouster was rebuilt in 1740 on the site of a 12th-century oratory. It houses a wooden Christ dating from the 15th century, nine polychrome wooden statues from the 17th and 18th centuries, a painting of Mary Magdalene, and several ex-votos. In view of its age, architectural quality, religious furnishings, and numerous ex-votos, the chapel is considered remarkable. The Pardon de Kermouster takes place on the first Sunday in September.

Another chapel is Saint-Mahurin de Kermaria. Dating from 1783, it is set in green surroundings rich with flowers. As it is only occasionally open to the public, you should not plan on being able to visit at any time. The Church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste dates from 1580 and 1858. Its distinctive bell tower is typical of churches in the Trégor.

The Pont Saint-Christophe also combines local heritage with a practical function: since 1840, it has been an important crossing between Trégor and Goëlo. The statue of Saint Christophe has been listed as a historic monument since 1978. It depicts Saint Christopher, the patron saint of travellers and boatmen.

Walks, views, and hiking trails

The Bois de Lan Goc is open to everyone and offers walking paths in peaceful natural surroundings. A viewpoint and picnic tables overlook the marina. If you would like to combine nature with a short break, you can enjoy both in one place. In the protected botanical area near the Les Perdrix beacon, information signs describe around 100 local plant and animal species. An approximately six-kilometre hiking trail leads from this botanical area towards the village of Kermouster.

The hamlet of Kermouster offers an exceptional view of the Trieux estuary and the Bréhat archipelago opposite. Another clearly defined hiking option is the Boucle de Kermaria: it is 11.5 kilometres long, rated moderate, and takes around three hours. At high tide, the coastal section below the Moulin à Mer is impassable; a signposted high-tide alternative is available. At Goas Luguen beach near Kermouster, unsupervised swimming is possible at high tide. There is no lifeguard service.

The Trieux, boat trips, and the lighthouse

Le Passeur du Trieux offers guided boat trips on the Trieux, which is designated a Natura 2000 site, departing from Lézardrieux. Trip options include journeys lasting 1 hour 15 minutes, 2 hours, and 4 hours. Options and availability may vary by season, so check the current offer before planning your trip. Seasonal sailing trips with Voiles & Traditions also depart from the port of Lézardrieux to explore the Bréhat archipelago. Passengers can take part in manoeuvres and take the helm. Check this offer before booking.

The Phare de Bodic is 23 metres high. It replaced an earlier lighthouse built in 1867, which was destroyed by the Germans in 1944. Together with the Phare de la Croix, opposite Ploubazlanec on the other side of the Trieux, it marks the river entrance. The lighthouse is fully automated; the last lighthouse keepers left in 2015. Access is via the hamlet of Bodic, along the road towards Lanmodez. The Phare de Bodic will be closed to visitors throughout 2026. If your trip is outside this period, check its visitor status in advance.

Friday market

The Marché de Lézardrieux is held on Friday mornings throughout the year. Stalls include, among other things, fruit and vegetables, fish and shellfish, meat, flowers and plants, and clothing. Its regular weekly schedule makes the market a useful anchor for planning your day, whether you are mainly exploring the buildings, hiking trails, or river.
