Historic chapels, the Allée couverte de Bot-er-Mohet and a Guernic Discovery Trail with a section through a wetland give Cléguérec clear points of interest for a stay combining culture and nature. There are also leisure activities at Étang du Pontoir, the monthly market and the Festival de Kleg. This raises a practical question as you plan your trip: would you like to focus on architectural and archaeological history, outdoor activities or an event?
Outdoor trails and leisure
The Guernic Discovery Trail leads to Parc Plijadur; one section crosses a wetland on a boardwalk. For cycling, another detail is relevant: a section of the Stations Vertes cycling route passes through Cléguérec. If you are deciding between a nature trail and a bike ride, these different kinds of activity can help guide your choice.
At Étang du Pontoir, there is a fitness trail and an archery range; fishing is also possible there. The three options cater to different leisure interests: you can consider exercising on the trail, archery or fishing. In the town centre, Mini-Golf de Cléguérec has twelve holes and is free of charge. As information about the availability of leisure facilities can change, check before visiting.
Chapels and architectural history
The Chapelle de la Trinité and the Chapelle Saint-André both date largely from the first half of the 16th century. The Chapelle de la Trinité has a devotional fountain; the Chapelle Saint-André was listed as a historic monument by decree on 12 September 1977. Their shared period and distinctive features offer two specific points of interest if you are interested in religious architecture.
The Chapelle Saint-Molvan adds a different historical reference to this selection: it houses a 4th-century sarcophagus and was rebuilt in 1693. The two dates should be clearly distinguished—the sarcophagus dates from the 4th century, while the chapel was rebuilt in the late 17th century.
Dolmen gallery and church
The Allée couverte de Bot-er-Mohet is one of the largest dolmen galleries in Morbihan. Its archaeological history includes a rock crevice that led to the discovery of pottery shards and two vessels. Alongside the site’s regional significance, this specific archaeological detail brings its history to life.
The Église Saint-Guérec offers another point of reference in time: construction began in 1843, and the church was consecrated in 1864. Together with the chapels and the rebuilding of Saint-Molvan, these give you several distinct historical dates to keep in mind when exploring Cléguérec.
Festival, market and getting there
The Festival de Kleg is a three-day event featuring fest-noz, concerts and hybrid performances. Programme details vary from one edition to another. The Festival de Kleg project, run by the En Arwen association, has been based in Cléguérec for nearly 40 years. The market in Cléguérec takes place at Place Pobéguin on the first Saturday of each month. If the festival or market is central to your visit, check the dates for the relevant edition or the current market day in advance.
Regional bus route TIM 14 serves Cléguérec daily on the route between Pontivy and Guémené-sur-Scorff. As timetables can change, check departure times before travelling. This will help you coordinate your journey with the cultural and leisure activities that matter to you during your stay.
