Quemper Guezennec: River Landscapes, Trails and History

Mountain bike circuits, river landscapes and local history give Quemper Guezennec a range of distinct attractions. If you are looking for a hotel for your stay, you can base your choice on the themes you want your trip to focus on: a particular trail length, paths along the river and streams, a small port, or the history of local buildings and notable people. The area’s landmarks extend from the slopes of the Leff and Trieux to the wooded Jaudour Valley.

Routes between the Leff, Trieux and Jaudour

The two mountain bike circuits are 17 and 34 kilometres long. The 17-kilometre loop is suitable for families; the longer route crosses the slopes of the Leff and Trieux. The 11.5-kilometre Circuit de Frynaudour is shorter than both mountain bike loops. It passes the Port de Goas Vilinic, the towpath, the confluence of the Leff and Trieux, and the Chapelle Saint-Maudez. This gives you a choice of routes with different distances and landscape features to compare.

The Circuit Fleuriot de Langle offers a different perspective on the landscape. It follows country lanes and landscaped paths through the wooded Jaudour Valley, passing the valleys of the Kergoc, Kerlouët and Jaudour streams. While the Port de Goas Vilinic, towpath and confluence are among the named landmarks on the Circuit de Frynaudour, the wooded valley and streams define the route description for the Circuit Fleuriot de Langle. Which of these landscapes appeals to you most can help determine the focus of your stay.

The Circuit de Frynaudour also passes through an area protected for its landscape, fauna and flora, and designated in part as a Type 1 ZNIEFF. The route therefore combines its named riverside and cultural landmarks with a protected natural area.

The port and activities on the water

The Port de Goas Vilinic is a small port on the banks of the Trieux, in the estuary area within the municipality of Quemper Guezennec. It mainly accommodates small boats and is suitable for gentle water-based recreation and river fishing. Boating conditions depend on the tides and local regulations. If you plan to go out by boat, check the conditions in advance.

History and local buildings

The Château de Frynaudour stands on a rocky outcrop at the confluence of the Leff and Trieux. The château grounds are privately owned; in 2024, they were overgrown with vegetation.

Paul Antoine Fleuriot de Langle was born on 1 August 1744 at the Château de Kerlouet in Quemper Guezennec. A local 18th-century sailor and explorer, he was second-in-command of the La Pérouse expedition. The Church of Saint-Pierre also connects different historical periods: it was rebuilt in 1870 on the site of a 15th-century church.
