Walking in Central Brittany is both relaxing and challenging; there are many different routes that can be accessed from Central Brittany B and B either on foot, or by taking a short drive to the beginning of a walking route, or if you prefer you can head to the coast both the north and south coasts are less than one hour away.
The diversity of the walking here is suitable for all abilities, local walks are often on flat ground and take in churches and towns, more creative walks follow routes across fields and footpaths and coastal walks.
It is your Walking Holiday you choose how you wish to spend it and where you want to go.
The idea of the Walking Community is that you arrive here either as a couple and get to meet others walkers staying or you come with people you know to join together and walk as a small group of 6 people. Meals are taken together where stories are exchanged home cooked food is shared and wine is drunk (soft drinks available too).
We are located in the Centre of Brittany on the northern edge of the Morbihan Department, in the village of Rohan, which is located on the Nantes et Brest Canal at the mid-point between the two chateau towns of Josselin and Pontivy.

What does a Self-Guided Community Walking Break / Holiday mean for you?
We have packs of maps with 32 different walks at a mixture of lengths and levels of ability.
Here is a sample of some of the walks close by.
Walk 6 – Circuit de l’abbaye de Timadeuc a 4.5km route taking in the Abbey which has a free visitor centre. The abbey is a working monastery. The farm at the abbey produces a famous cheese which is wrapped in a walnut case giving a unique delicious flavour. Also produced here is Pate, a jellied sweet made with natural fruits.
Walk 31 – A la découverte de Roc’han is 3.2km taking in 10 significant places in our village of Rohan. Many of the points of interest have wonderful photos of the bygone era of this important village set on the Nantes et Brest Canal.
Both of these walks can be accessed from our door.
Take in some hidden sites and treasures further afield by following one of the other walking routes.
Walk 4 – 5km Circuit de la Fountaine Blanche passes by the breathtaking church of Saint –Thuriau with its exquisite painted ceilings.
Walk 8 – 14km Circuit du canal et de la Rigole d’Hilvern takes you through the village of Saint – Gonnery and then along on to the Nantes et Brest canal crossing at several Ecluse (locks) this pretty walk is a testament to the Brittany country and canal side life.
Bring your camera and binoculars to capture the scenes and the many birds which have Brittany as their home.
Whilst we can suggest routes we also encourage guests to research the walking in the area and if there are any particular points of interest you wish to include this can be talked about either before or on arrival during dinner the first night.
