Lantic offers a blend of architectural history, natural landscapes and leisure activities. When planning your stay, you can choose between two historic buildings, a public walking area in the wetland, trails with different characteristics and outdoor activities. The options appeal to different interests: a chapel and a church reveal traces of different historical periods, the trails vary in terrain and difficulty, and the Parc Aventure offers climbing courses and paintball. When planning, it is worth considering these differences first rather than treating everything as one combined program.
Chapel and church: different historical traces
The Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-la-Cour was built in 1420 with donations from several Breton dukes; Jean V was among the donors. Inside are two stained-glass windows dating from the mid-15th century. The construction and the windows therefore date from different periods of the same century—a specific point of reference for the chapel’s history.
The Église Saint-Oswald de Lantic dates from the 17th century and reuses a portal from the 15th century. This reveals a different historical layering: the church building and the reused portal belong to different centuries. Together, the two buildings offer different points of interest for a stay focused on Lantic’s architectural history, without telling the same story.
Wetland and nature trails
The Maison de la Terre is located in a wetland with three hectares of wooded land and is open to the public as a place for walks. Numerous public activities are held there on biodiversity, water and the impact of human activity on the environment. Thus, alongside the natural setting, topics relating to biological diversity and human impact are also in focus.
When it comes to the trails, it is worth looking at their specific differences. The Circuit du grand Lantic is a challenging 20-kilometre circular hike with a stated duration of five hours. The route passes through valleys, sunken lanes and undergrowth along the Ic. For planning your day, the circular route, difficulty and time estimate are all relevant. As route details may be updated, check the information before your visit.
The Circuit du Bois de la Salle offers a different experience: it is a flat, very accessible nature walk. Its route follows often-damp forest paths, through undergrowth and past secluded meadows and a spring. The two options therefore differ clearly in terrain and difficulty: one is described as a challenging, five-hour circular hike, the other as a flat walking trail featuring a variety of landscapes.
Golf and activities at the Parc Aventure
The Golf de la Baie de Saint-Brieuc is an 18-hole golf course in Lantic. If you would like to include golf in your stay, you can consider this separate leisure option when planning.
Lantic Parc Aventure offers 16 climbing courses with a total of 180 stations. The difficulty increases, the courses reach heights of up to 17 metres and they are suitable for all levels from age three. There is also paintball on a Western-style site. Check seasonal access for both activities at Parc Aventure before your visit. The climbing courses and paintball offer differ considerably from the historic buildings and nature trails; they provide a separate focus for planning leisure time.
