Langonnet combines walking routes with chapels, churches and a collection of African everyday and religious objects. You can focus your stay more on outdoor trails or on heritage – or include both interests in your plans.

Walking routes with different landmarks

The commune offers the Circuit de Saint-Maur Minez-Levenez in two versions: 5 and 12 km. The routes are marked in yellow. Check the local signs before setting out. The two route lengths give you a concrete basis for choosing your walk according to the distance you have in mind.

The Circuit du Roi Morvan has two possible starting points: Place Morvan and Étang de Pontigou. The circular route also offers an out-and-back detour to Chapelle Saint-Brendan, its spring and the hamlet associated with it. The two routes therefore differ in their landmarks: the Circuit de Saint-Maur focuses on route lengths, while the Circuit du Roi Morvan offers a choice of starting points and a detour.

Scenery and time at Étang de Pontigou

The Circuit de Saint-Maur Minez-Levenez crosses Le Langonnet stream via a built footbridge. Information boards cover ponds, wetlands and meanders. The route thus combines a specific river crossing with information about these landscape features; meanders are bends in a river.

Étang de Pontigou is one of the possible starting points for the Circuit du Roi Morvan. There are play equipment for younger children, a fitness trail and picnic tables. If you plan to use these facilities, check their condition before your visit.

Collection, chapels and churches

The Musée d’arts africains displays objects from everyday and religious life in Africa, as well as weapons, reliquaries, statuettes and masks, in six rooms. The collection therefore ranges from everyday objects to religious items and various works of art. Check the current visitor arrangements before your visit.

Chapelle Saint-Brendan probably dates from the 16th century. The chapel contains a 16th-century statue of Saint Adrian. An undated devotional spring lies below and to the east of the chapel. It is one of the destinations on the detour from the Circuit du Roi Morvan.

The churches and chapels also offer specific points of interest for a cultural visit. Église Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul is considered a rare example of a Romanesque church in central Brittany. Église Trinité-Langonnet underwent extensive renovation from 2017 to 2022. Chapelle de La Trinité is in the Flamboyant Gothic style and has a monumental spring.

When choosing what to visit, you can distinguish between walking routes with two specified distances and a route with several possible starting points and a detour to a heritage site. Among the cultural sites, you can choose from a collection, a chapel probably dating from the 16th century, and buildings with Romanesque and Flamboyant Gothic features.
