The Gulf of Morbihan is full of unusual places and you will have to come back several times to the campsite to discover them all! The hiking trails in Southern Brittany are home to a religious heritage that is often very discreet, with churches, chapels and fountains hidden deep in the Morbihan countryside. Between Vannes and Questembert, the Langroez circuit offers you the opportunity to start from the picturesque village of La Vraie Croix and follow a wooded and hilly route along the Coët Ruel and Ferrières streams. Continuing your escapades along the vast Lanvaux moors towards Saint-Armel, you can discover "forgotten" dolmens and menhirs. On your way to the Lasné salt marsh - an old salt marsh connected to the Gulf of Morbihan by a narrow channel - you will observe many migratory birds such as the elegant avocet or the white stilt. During their camping holiday in Southern Brittany, hikers will follow the GR® 34 between Noyalo and Theix, where the green marshes appear and land and sea merge.
