In Lomener, you can explore the coast, trails and maritime history from a variety of angles. When planning your visit, it is worth distinguishing the specific features of the beaches from the route options: there is a south-facing bay with full accessibility, the beach by the former fishing port, a coastal path, a puzzle walk and a short cycling route. You can first decide whether the beach, outdoor activities or local history will be the deciding factor for your stay.

Beach and Coastal Path

Anse du Stole is a 600-metre-long family beach with fine sand, surrounded by rocks and facing south. It is fully accessible to people with physical, motor and sensory disabilities. If accessibility is important for your visit, check the conditions in advance.

The small beach at Lomener is located in a former Breton fishing port opposite the island of Groix and is mainly used by early-morning swimmers and divers. Here, the setting in the former port and the main activities in the early morning shape the experience; at Anse du Stole, the beach’s length, fine sand, rocks and south-facing aspect stand out instead.

Lomener beach connects to the GR®34 coastal hiking trail. If you would like to include a coastal hike as well as time at the beach during your stay, you can take this connection into account when making your plans.

Puzzle Walk or Cycle Route

The heritage walk in Lomener is accessible to everyone and includes a puzzle to solve along the route. The puzzle is the distinctive feature of this walk: you solve it as you go, giving your walk a purpose.

The “Lomener” circular cycling route is easy, 4 km long and takes 30 minutes. It follows minor roads behind the coast. The choice also depends on the type of activity you prefer: the cycling route has a clearly stated distance, difficulty and duration, while the puzzle along the route is the focus of the heritage walk on foot.

Sardine History and the Chapel

In the 19th century, sardine fishing boats, sardine presses and canneries were the main features of the significant maritime activity in Lomener’s harbour. A former cannery building in Lomener was later converted into the Chapelle Notre-Dame de la Garde.

A detail of the chapel also recalls the fishing industry: the altar table rests on structures representing fish baskets. This makes the maritime history tangible in several specific ways: through the former harbour activity, the later conversion of a building and the design of the altar. Those interested in local history can thus understand both the 19th-century maritime economy and its architectural trace in the chapel.
