Discover Langonnet

Explore Langonnet with different interests in mind: choose the length of a circular trail, discover the landscape along the Le Langonnet stream, or make time for religious buildings and the Musée d’arts africains. When planning, it is helpful to distinguish between the circuit options: they have different landmarks and lead to different experiences.

Walking trails and orientation

The municipality of Langonnet offers the Circuit de Saint-Maur Minez-Levenez in two versions, 5 and 12 km long; both trails are marked in yellow. The difference in distance gives you a concrete basis for comparing the lengths of walks you might prefer. Check the local signs before setting out.

The Place Morvan and the Étang de Pontigou are listed as possible starting points for the Circuit du Roi Morvan. The trail also offers a there-and-back detour to the Chapelle Saint-Brendan, its spring and the surrounding hamlet. If the chapel is to be a focus of your walk, this detour is part of this circuit; you can choose between the two named places as your starting point.

Landscape along the Le Langonnet

The Circuit de Saint-Maur Minez-Levenez offers a different perspective along the Le Langonnet stream: a purpose-built footbridge crosses the stream there. Information boards cover pools, wetlands and meanders. The topics range from individual water features to wetlands and the course of the stream. This section therefore offers not only a route through the landscape, but also information about the various forms and features explained there.

The Étang de Pontigou

The Étang de Pontigou is one of the possible starting points for the Circuit du Roi Morvan. The pond has play equipment for younger children and a fitness trail; picnic tables are also available. When planning, you can therefore consider the site both as a starting point for the circuit and for its facilities. As facilities may change, check their current status before your visit.

Culture, chapels and churches

The Musée d’arts africains displays objects from everyday and religious life in Africa across six rooms. The collection also includes weapons, reliquaries, statuettes and masks. If you plan to visit the museum, check the current visiting arrangements in advance, as they may change.

The Chapelle Saint-Brendan probably dates from the 16th century. It houses a 16th-century statue of Saint Adrian. An undated devotional spring lies below and to the east of the chapel. The Circuit du Roi Morvan offers a there-and-back detour to these places and the surrounding hamlet, making the chapel a specific destination to consider when choosing your route.

The Church of Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul is considered a rare example of a Romanesque church in central Brittany. The Trinité-Langonnet Church underwent extensive renovation from 2017 to 2022. The Chapelle de La Trinité is in the Flamboyant Gothic style and has a monumental spring. These named buildings offer different historical and architectural points of interest during a stay in Langonnet.

Highlights for your stay

Different details may guide your choice between the circuits: on the Circuit de Saint-Maur Minez-Levenez, you can choose between 5 and 12 km and discover the footbridge and the boards about landscape features along the Le Langonnet. The Circuit du Roi Morvan has two possible starting points and a detour to the Chapelle Saint-Brendan. Make your choice based on which of these route details and destinations matter to you. For a cultural focus, consider the six rooms of the Musée d’arts africains and the churches and chapels described above.
