Two walking trails, each 10 kilometres long, lead through the surrounding area and draw attention to smaller heritage sites along the way. The Château de Guilguiffin, the Rosary altar in the parish church of Saint-Tudec et Sainte-Anne, and various trails give Landudec several distinct highlights for a stay. If you want to choose between architecture, church art and nature, you can organise the options according to your interests and schedule.

Château Architecture and Church Art

The Château de Guilguiffin is an example of classical architecture and was built between 1750 and 1760. The château and its grounds are partially protected as historic monuments. This adds two distinct aspects: the date places the architecture in its historical context, while the protection applies to parts of both the château and the grounds.

The Rosary altar is in the parish church of Saint-Tudec et Sainte-Anne in Landudec: a polychrome-painted wooden retable with a central bas-relief and side niches. Polychrome means multicoloured; the relief forms the central element, while the niches structure the altar on either side. The two cultural highlights offer different points of interest: the château centres on classical architecture, while the altar draws attention to its material, decoration and structure.

Walking Trails and Botanical Themes

The two walking trails are each 10 kilometres long, lead through the surrounding area and draw attention to smaller heritage sites along the way. The stated distance applies to each trail individually. Together, they combine walking with opportunities to discover smaller cultural sites.

The Circuit des Trois Ormes follows the shady banks of the Goyen River. There is a waterfall and several mills along the trail. Its focus is on riverbanks and mills, while the Lanrien botanical walk highlights woodland and undergrowth species.

The Lanrien walk takes about 30 minutes and is recommended for families and for jogging. Trail conditions may change; check them before setting out. Those interested in plants will find a different focus here from the trails that highlight smaller heritage sites.

Summer Dates and Events

The Fête des Trois Ormes takes place every year in late July and includes a Belote tournament and a nature run. If you want to plan your trip around this event, check the dates for the relevant year in advance.

The Grand Prix des 3 Ormes takes place every summer, starting in Landudec. The routes are 3 and 8 kilometres long. If the race is a key factor in your travel plans, check the date of the current edition before planning your trip around it.

Getting There by Bus

Landudec is served by on-demand buses on the BreizhGo network, including routes 953 and 521TAD. Check current availability and routes before travelling, as services and routes may change. When planning, bear in mind that this is an on-demand service, and coordinate your journey with the information for your travel date.

For events, it is worth checking the dates of each edition; for bus journeys, check availability and routes.
