Landunvez: Coast, Culture and the Circuit de Trémazan

Landunvez offers several focal points for your stay: its coastal scenery, a 12-kilometre hiking trail and several historic sites. A well-known coastal road runs along the sea. From Landunvez, you can also enjoy views of the Four lighthouse. Chapels, a dolmen and the remains of the Château de Trémazan add specific cultural and historical points of interest to the landscape.

Coast and Hiking Trail

The Route touristique de Landunvez runs along a rugged coast with beaches and distinctive rocks. The coastal road follows the sea, while views of the Four lighthouse offer another landmark in the coastal landscape. This means you can plan your trip around both the scenery and the historic sites.

The Circuit de Trémazan is a 12-kilometre hiking trail; the stated duration is three hours. It begins at the Chapelle de Kersaint and follows the former railway line to Argenton. On the return, it follows the GR 34 along the rugged coast from Penfoul to Trémazan and on to Kersaint. The route thus connects several named sections: the start at the chapel, the former railway line and the coastal stretch along the GR 34. The three-hour estimate is a useful reference when planning the trail as part of your stay.

Chapels and Historic Sites

The Chapelle Saint-Samson dates from the 18th century, is located on the rugged coast and lies on the GR 34. It is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., from Palm Sunday until All Saints’ Day and during the Christmas holidays. The Chapelle Saint-Gonvel dates from the 16th century and is located near the port of Argenton and the GR 34. In summer, it is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. You can check the seasonal opening hours before your visit. The chapels differ both in their historical periods and in the stated visiting times.

In Argenton, west of the Chapelle Saint-Gonvel, a 3.20-metre-long dolmen stands on a small hill. Another historic landmark is the remains of the Château de Trémazan. They are protected as a historic monument under a listing order dated 18 May 1926. Together with the chapels, they reflect the range of architectural and prehistoric remains found in the area.

Harbour and Cultural Programme

At low tide, you can discover a Neolithic fish trap in the port of Trémazan. The timing of low tide is important for your visit, so check the tides for your planned date. In Kersaint, the Cycle Musical de la Chapelle de Kersaint association regularly organises concerts. If you would like to include a concert in your trip, check the specific event date in advance. The coastal scenery, hiking trail, historic sites and cultural events thus offer a variety of starting points for planning a stay in Landunvez.
