Exploring the coastal and canal sections of Aulne © Ronan Coquil The W ending its way along the bottom of the wooded slopes, the Aulne provides some stunning views. From Trégarvan to Port-Launay and from Port-Launay to Saint-Coulitz, wander along the meanders of the. Aulne maritime and on to the canal section and discover the amazing diversity of its landscapes! Ever since its creation in the 19th century, the Nantes-Brest canal has boasted a long history of contributing to Brittany’s economic development. The first stone of the first lock – longer in existence – was laid between Châteaulin and Port-Launay on 7 September 1811. The canal was opened to navigation in 1836. For almost a century, it constituted a vital transportation route for the interior of Brittany, which particularly benefitted the slate industry and agriculture. But this economic role was short-lived. Competition from road and rail transport ruined any hopes of development based on the canal. The construction of the hydroelectric dam at Guerlédan in 1923 precipated the decline in the western section of the canal. This peaceful stretch of water covering 5 departements (365 km) and interspersed with its 238 locks is nowadays used solely for sailing activities, by yachtsmen and the traditional sailing barges including the Notre-dame de Rumengol, as well as anglers, joggers, hikers, cyclists and horseriders, thanks to the towpaths (on either side) running alongside the entire canal. Set off to explore this magnificent historical heritage, and as you avail yourselves of the rest or picnic areas along the way, you’ll be captivated by the charm of its gentle curves and languorous banks! Aquatic observatory The Châteaulin lock. Town centre La maison de la faune et du canal (wildlife and canal interpretation centre) You stay dry as you duck below the water level to watch the various fish populating the Aulne, Brittany’s third coastal river. A combination of a fish pass (or fish ladder) and a viewing room, the observatory just might allow you to come face-to-face with one of the great migrators that swim up the river after its long journey across the oceans. This fish-monitoring station is also equipped with a video counting system. Centre for animals that swim, fly or move around on the ground. This lock-keeper’s house is the place for you to discover the canal’s wildlife in all its diversity. Perch, pike, kingfishers, dragonflies, damselflies and sheep will be your companions, offering you a glimpse of the canal’s animal life as you delve into the habits and habitats of these endangered species that are protected in Finistère.

Lock n° 237: Guilly-Glaz — Port-Launay Direction BREST This is the 237th and last maritime lock located on the Aulne. Controlling the junction between the canalised and maritime sections of the Aulne, it was inaugurated in 1858 by Napoleon III and the empress Eugénie. After two years of work, a dam with mobile valves (capable of lowering the level of the Aulne over several kilometers in just a few minutes) and a multi-species fish pass were inaugurated in December 2005. Feel free to pause here for a while; a picnic area with barbecue has been laid on for you. You’ll also be able to enjoy watching the black Ushant sheep as they frolic merrily in their paddock. DAOULAS 12th edition of the Route du sable 18 & 19 June 2016 A gathering organised in memory of the sabliers or sand dredgers that used to ply the estuary from the Brest roadstead. This takes place each year on the Aulne Maritime, following a route that extends from Trégarvan and Rosnoën to Port-Launay and on to Châteaulin. This nautical outing reunites nearly 70 “voile aviron” (sail & oar) and traditional sailing enthusiasts in a convivial and colourful setting.

Nearby: Bike hire, archery, swimming pool, educational farm and rural-school museum.. The ferry crossing of the Aulne between Dinéault and Rosnoën is known to have existed since the early 16th century. It is located on an ancient communication route linking Douarnenez and Le Porzay with Landerneau and Brest. The slipway at Dinéault probably dates back to around 1858. Traffic intensified over the second half of the 19th century, and the ferry used to transport around 25,000 people per year, not to mention cattle, sheep and vehicles. The traffic also led to the construction of the ferryman’s house beside the shore. The ferry service was discontinued in 1951. Linked to the nearby hamlet of Kerbastard, Le Passage still retains a fountain and a wash house.

This significant event was incorporated into the Saint-Coulitz communal coat-of-arms. The communes of Trégarvan, Dinéault, Port-Launay, Châteaulin and Saint-Coulitz form part of the Armorique nature reserve. But, in fact: What is the Armorique Regional natural Park A regional Natural Park (regional nature reserve) is an area of inhabited territory that is recognised at national level for the richness and the vulnerability of its natural, cultural and landscape heritage. Its Syndicat Mixte (joint association) sets up a sustainable development project. There are currently 51 regional nature reserves in France, two of which are in Brittany including the one in the gulf of Morbihan. Covering 125,000 hectares and 44 communes, the reserve extends over the islands in the Iroise sea, the Crozon peninsula, the bay of Brest, the Aulne Maritime and the Monts d’Arrée. Its objectives are to preserve and promote the natural, cultural and environmental resources, to support the leadership, to ensure the management and economic and cultural development of its region, and to welcome visitors and foster public awareness. The Reserve aims, through its theme centres and museums, to promote its region. It is the key to exploring the Armorican massif – the heart of Finistère. © Ronan Coquil To find out more, go to: www.pnr-armorique.fr ! 7 Beaches © Jean Tromeur and thrills on the waves Y ou’ll be captivated by our long sandy beaches!Time for a swim or relaxation or even for the numerous watersports activities!

From its 330-metre summit, the curves of the Menez-Hom dominate the bay of Douarnenez, the plain of Le Porzay to the south and the valley of the Aulne maritime to the north. Once you reach the top, the view is stunning. The highest point of the montagnes noires (black hills), it provides a magnificent panoramic view over the Crozon peninsula, the bay of Douarnenez, the bay of Brest and the hills of the Monts d’Arrée. At 480 million years old, this is one of the oldest and highest points in Brittany. The Menez-Hom was a sacred hilltop where the cult of sun worshipping was celebrated, as can be seen from the mounds of stone. The Menez-Hom also went on to become a strategic point as it was possible for a look-out to watch over the region and keep an eye out for warnings from the island of Ouessant (Ushant). Whether the threat came from Normans, pirates or the English, he would be alerted by a beacon and then in his turn would light another one to pass on the signal of danger. The Menez-Hom still bears the nickname “Yed”– meaning look-out relating to those times. Over the centuries, it has also become a place for fairs and very famous pardons. In 2007, the “site Natura 2000 – complexe du Menez-Hom-Argol” came into being. This site incorporates 5 communes: Dinéault, Plomodiern, Saint-Nic, Trégarvan and Argol. The Natura 2000 site was set up to preserve the biodiversity of the Menez-Hom, and in particular its heathland and peat-bog landscapes, as well as the Sphagnum pylaseii moss and the Quimper snail, two species of community interest that are to be found on its slopes. In 2014, the site was designated as “natural heritage” for its wildlife. This classification has enabled it to be protected without interfering too much with the sporting or leisure activities such as hang-gliding, model-aircraft flying or paragliding that are so popular on the Menez-Hom. The Menez-Hom is also the starting point for walks and beautiful rambles, especially narrated ones during the summer. With its unique flora and discrete fauna, this is also a vulnerable site, so please respect the environment as you walk! Why not: Continue the walk with a visit to the Sainte-Marie du Menez-Hom chapel? It boasts a remarkable Idea parish enclosure and pink altarpieces inside that are worth a look!! © Philippe Bittel Menez-Hom, the sacred mount of the first Armoricans. Goddess Brigit. It was in May 1913 that a young farmer from Dinéault unearthed a small bronze head in excellent condition from beneath his harrow. Some years later, after the Great War, he decided to check whether the rest of the statue had perhaps remained in the ground. He discovered a hollow cavity in the ground. Inside there stood a female bronze body. The statue would have measured seventy centimetres. Sadly, the body was in a very poor state. Admittedly, this was no Minerva venerated in Rome, but it was a great native goddess. Religious historians have often found a parallel between Athena Minerva and the Brigit of Irish texts from the late Middle Ages, the universal goddess of the Celts. The statue is now known locally as “the Goddess of the Ménez Hom”. Nowadays, the small bronze head is exhibited in the Musée de Bretagne in Rennes. 10 © Ronan Coquil 2016 Event Festival du Menez-Hom from 13 to 15 August 2016 Our famous little mountain has given its name to a festival of traditional music and dance, whose 57th edition is to take place from 13 to 15 August 2016. The legend of King Marc’h In 1959, a group of friends launched the idea of a small folk party on the summit of the Menez-Hom on 15 August. Very soon, the small party turned into a festival! Nowadays, the festivities no longer take place on the summit of the Menez-Hom but in the town of Plomodiern and the great day of 15 August in particular, one of the high spots of the summer season! This hill is also a place of legends… King Marc’h (meaning “horse” in Breton) was cursed with the ugly ears of a horse. On his death, he was buried not far from the Chapelle Sainte Marie, to whom he was particularly devoted. Languishing in hell, they say that his soul will only be saved when he is able ro catch sight of the chapel bell from the top of his cairn. Think of this if you stumble across a pile of pebbles ! To find out more: www.festivaldumenezhom.com © Bergerie du Menez-Hom–Patrick Sastre The megaliths, 5,000 years ago In the summer, thoroughbred “Landes de Bretagne ”, and “Avranches” sheep from the Bergerie du Menez-Hom located at Le Guilly in Dinéault are installed in the parks set up by the Finistère council. The Landes de Bretagne breed (black and white sheep) is particularly well suited to the heathland, feeding on Western gorse (or Dwarf Furze), a small shrub that is full of thorns. Within the remit of the Natura 2000 programme, grazing enables the habitats to be kept open, thereby fostering biodiversity and preventing fires. “Hey Mum, is it really true that they have menhirs in Brittany?” Yes,they do! Brittany has lots of megalithic treasures. Around here, keep an eye out for them! A good many historical traces can still be seen, such as the menhirs (the one at the Pointe de Tal ar Grip ((Plomodiern) and the Stone-Age Stele (Ploéven), and dolmens such as the one at Menez-Lié (Saint-Nic) as well as the Tombelles and the remains of Cromlec’h on the summit of the Menez-Hom. 11 Visits into the historic heartland Church of Notre-Dame – Châteaulin This site constitutes a complete parish enclosure. You’ll notice the ossuary and 16th-century cross, the porch and the 18th-century church tower. A tour of the interior is a must: pillars, altarpieces, statues, pictures… The Notre-Dame church will be open from 11 july to 19 august (excluding bank holidays), from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm and from 3:30 to 6 pm on weekdays; with someone on hand to provide information on the history of the site, and the elements worth noting in the church: statues, pictures, altarpieces, capitals (columns), the tomb of Jethane de Trésiguidy… Free of charge. Sainte-Marie du Menez-Hom chapel Plomodiern The chapel was built at the foot of the Menez-Hom in 1570, over the ruins of a Roman chapel. The parish enclosure comprises a triple monumental entrance (1739) and a calvary with three crosses (1544). It was formerly a place of pilgrimage and a very popular venue for fairs. Classified as a historic monument in 1916, the chapel boasts magnificent recently-restored pink altarpieces. Visiting times: from 4 April to 4 October 2016. Every day from 9:30 am to 6:30 pm.

In the form of the semi-hull of a boat and with its forest of wrought and sculpted rafters, the framework of the nave is unique in its genre. Inside, you can see the old peasant’s sickle that had been an offering of thanks for the healing of a wound, according to the legend of Saint Côme et Saint Damien. A guided tour is available in July and August Little during the Chapel’s opening hours (Monday to Extra Friday: 11am-12pm and 4-6pm, and on Sundays: 4-6pm; closed Saturdays.) © Philippe Bittel Further info on (+33) (0)2 98 26 50 36 Sainte-Anne-la-Palud chapel Plonévez-Porzay This Neo-Gothic-style chapel dating from 1858 has the distinction of possessing an exterior altar for celebrating one of Brittany’s most important pardons, which attracts 10,000 pilgrims during the last weekend of August each year.

La Ferme du Vieux Bourg Vieux bourg 29150 CHÂTEAULIN (+33)(0) 6 58 48 85 79 [email protected] www.canal-loisirs.com What is a spring tide? Tides are the result of forces and movements of the earth, the moon and the sun. When the sea level rises very high and drops very low, these are called spring tides (coeff >90). In order to plan ahead for your shellfishing outing, it is essential to consult a tide timetable – use the Douarnenez times for our region. In any case, exercise caution, especially at low tide. However tempting it is to make the most of the spring tides to go shellfishing, take care not to get caught out by the rising tide and being trapped in coves or on rocks. 2016 spring tides APRIL MAY JUNE 6 to 11 5 to 10 4 to 8 JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER 4 to 7 Du 3 au 5 and t22 to 23 Du 19 au 22 1 to 3 and 16 to 21 OCTOBER NOVEMBER DECEMBER 1 to 2 and 15 to 20 13 to 18 13 to 17 Details: discover the little Vieux Bourg activity farm, its kitchen garden and its animals, as well as its variety of games.
