From the Bay of Saint-Brieuc to Lorient, a crossing of Brittany from the inside!
the "V8" allows many combinations with other cycle routes. First on a shared track from Yffiniac to Allineuc and the Bosméléac pond, then about twenty kilometres of sandy track, in a dedicated site, connects Bosméléac to Saint-Caradec. A crossing in the country of the Toiles de Bretagne...
For those who wish to discover Lake Guerlédan and continue to Lorient, it is necessary to take the old little train track called the V6 to Mûr-de-Bretagne for a few kilometres. For the others, the sandy road along the Hilvern Gully continues to Hémonstoir.
A marked departmental link of nearly 10 km connects Moncontour, "Petite Cité de Caractère" and "Plus Beau Village de France."
