Morlaix

Through its picturesque, narrow streets and steep alleyways, the hidden treasures of the medieval town of Morlaix are revealed. The town's unique geography, nestled in a deep valley, offers numerous vantage points from which to appreciate the beauty of its architectural heritage.

Leave your bike for a moment; Morlaix invites you to stroll.

Morlaix's wealth grew steadily over the centuries thanks to the trade in linen grown and woven in the region and its port, which was one of the most important in Brittany.

Today, this charming town boasts numerous architectural and natural treasures: its Italianate Baroque theater, the arches of its viaduct, the Royal Tobacco Factory, and its river, which opens onto a magnificent bay dotted with islets.

This multifaceted town is particularly known for its unique Pondalez houses.

After Morlaix, almost alone in the world, you will cycle on an old railway line that has become a greenway, very wooded where you will probably come across a few caravans and horse riders. Then the forests give way to the characteristic moors of the Monts d'Arrée. A very natural bike ride in total immersion, you unfold the greenway in complete serenity. A few kilometers from the greenway, Huelgoat, its lake and its forest including the famous Trembling Rock are well worth tackling a steep climb. You will finish this stage in Carhaix, the meeting place of the "Vieilles Charrues"!
