Plouër-Sur-Rance combines trails along the Rance and through the forest with cycling and water sports, as well as a layered architectural history. When planning a stay, you can choose between these highlights: outdoor activities, waterside pursuits, or a look at churches and historic buildings.

Hiking along the Rance: riverbanks, dry-stone walls and forest

The Monplaisir loop starts at the Chapelle de la Souhaitier. It follows the Rance past dry-stone walls and continues into the Bois de Rigourdaine. The route thus links a stretch along the river with the woodland, with the dry-stone walls forming a distinctive feature of the trail.

A coastal trail runs along the banks of the Rance. Between the Rigourdaine site and the hamlet of La Matz, the valley reveals a variety of landscapes. Another hiking option is the Circuit des Bois Rochel: it follows the maritime Rance, sometimes right by the water and sometimes along higher paths. The views therefore vary: on the Monplaisir route, the dry-stone walls and Bois de Rigourdaine take center stage, while the Circuit des Bois Rochel alternates between waterside and higher paths.

Cycling and arriving at the marina

The cycling discovery loop follows paths and small roads, taking in the bocage landscape and the coast of Plouër-sur-Rance. It offers a dedicated option for exploring these landscapes by bike, alongside the walking trails.

On August 24, 2026, the marina had 240 pontoon moorings, including ten for visitors. On that day, electric bikes were also available for hire to ride to the town center or the supermarket. If you are planning to use a visitor berth, check current availability in advance.

Water sports with seasonal planning

On August 24, 2026, activities at the Centre Nautique Rance Frémur in Plouër-sur-Rance included kayak polo, sea kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. On August 24, 2026, sea kayak or canoe outings were available for groups of seven or more. Check the Centre Nautique’s seasonal schedule before your visit so you can plan your water sports activities accordingly.

Church and architectural history

Construction of the Église paroissiale Saint Pierre et Saint Paul in Plouër-sur-Rance began in 1703. Its floor plan is in the shape of a Latin cross. The pulpit, three altarpieces, three recumbent effigies and the lectern are listed as historic monuments.

The three recumbent effigies come from the previous building and depict Alain de Plouër, Perrine Edder and the Unknown Woman. Perrine Edder and the Unknown Woman date from the 16th century, while Alain de Plouër dates from the 15th century. The church thus brings together 18th-century architectural history and older furnishings.

Chapelle du château and Neolithic passage tomb

The Chapelle du château de Plouër is an elongated, octagonal building. Granite pilasters and bands on a lime-plastered surface define its design, which is characteristic of the style of the engineers of Saint-Malo. The chapel also preserves an altarpiece dating from the time of Louis XIV, as well as seigneurial pews. These served as prayer desks and as low cupboards for prayer books.

The Allée couverte de Bel Evan ou Bellevan is a Neolithic covered passage at Clos Belevau in Plouër-sur-Rance. It has been listed as a historic monument since September 4, 1981. In contrast to the parish church, whose construction began in 1703, this site takes you back to a much earlier period in the area’s history.
