Treflez: Discover Nature and Cultural Heritage

For a stay in Treflez, you can focus on nature trails and cultural history. The GR34 runs through the commune and the Dunes de Keremma; at Plage de la Sablière, walkers can follow an educational trail. The town’s history includes Chapelle Saint-Guévroc and the parish church of Sainte Ediltrude. These different themes can help you tailor your stay to your interests.

GR34 and Dunes de Keremma

From the Maison des dunes to the dyke, four interpretation stations mark the GR34 through the Dunes de Keremma. They are freely accessible even outside the Maison des dunes’ opening hours. If you are planning a specific visit, check local information about access.

The GR34 section along the Côte des Sables passes through the commune of Tréflez and by the Dunes de Keremma, which are protected by the Conservatoire du littoral. A total of 21 orchid species have been recorded in the dunes—another natural attraction alongside the walking trail. A hiking guide to the GR34 from Tréflez to Saint-Pol-de-Léon includes route suggestions, starting points near car parks and places of interest. Before making specific plans, check whether the guide is available and what it covers. Its geographical scope extends to Saint-Pol-de-Léon; the four interpretation stations, by contrast, relate to the section from the Maison des dunes to the dyke.

Plage de la Sablière: a walking trail, not a swimming spot

At Plage de la Sablière, walkers can follow an educational trail with information boards about the fauna and flora. The beach is unguarded and unsuitable for swimming. So, when planning your day, focus on the walk and its information about the fauna and flora, rather than a beach visit for swimming.

Chapelle Saint-Guévroc and its layers of history

The present-day Chapelle Saint-Guévroc was built between 1895 and 1898 on the still-visible foundations of an earlier building. The cemetery around the chapel contains overlapping graves dating from the 12th to the 16th century: the oldest are from the 12th and 13th centuries, and the newest from the 16th century. The site also includes a devotional spring. The graves therefore span a period far longer than the construction of the present-day chapel.

Église paroissiale Sainte Ediltrude: construction and furnishings

Église paroissiale Sainte Ediltrude was rebuilt in 1725. Its bell tower houses a bell dated 1776. The church also contains two protected processional banners, acquired in 1761: the parish processional banner of Sainte Etheldrède and the confraternity processional banner Don du Rosaire. The dates refer to different details of the church: its reconstruction, the acquisition of the banners and the dating of the bell.
