At Guerlédan, the magic of cycling begins with the first turns of the pedals. Nestled in the heart of inland Brittany, Lac de Guerlédan is an ideal playground for cyclists in search of breathtaking panoramas. The shores of the lake, lined with pine trees and moorland, can be explored at a leisurely pace on an electric bike or mountain bike, while the calm of nature envelops you at every turn.

The circuit around the lake covers some forty kilometers, alternating between cycle paths and small country roads. You'll pass by the remains of the former Bon Repos Abbey, then follow the Nantes-Brest canal, a towpath ideal for family cycling. There are a few signs along the way to help you find your way, making the ride accessible even to the less experienced.

In fine weather, the mild oceanic climate ensures pleasant temperatures, around 20 to 25°C in summer, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. However, it's best to pack a waterproof jacket: showers can be sudden in Brittany. A light windbreaker and a pair of thin gloves will improve your comfort on cooler mornings.

If you'd like to broaden your horizons, Pontivy is less than twenty kilometers away, revealing its 18thᵉ century fortifications and a lively town center where you can put your bike down. Further north, the Huelgoat forest awaits you for wilder trails, ideal for testing your mountain bike on more technical sections. Every destination is within easy reach on two wheels, without excessive effort.

To make the most of your excursion, don't forget to check tire pressure before setting off, pack a small repair kit and fill your water bottle at public fountains. And don't forget to take a map or offline mapping app with you: network coverage can be spotty along the canal.

With its forests, lake views and historic remains, Guerlédan is a must-see destination for cycling enthusiasts. From as little as €10 per day, you're ready to hop on a comfortable bike and set off to conquer the Breton countryside, where every pedal stroke rhymes with discovery and freedom.
