Garlan: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

The “Balade verte en Garlan” hiking trail in Garlan was officially opened in 2018 after being recognized by the Fédération Française de la Randonnée Pédestre (FFRandonnée). The circular route is accessible to pedestrians, cyclists, and horse riders; its main trail is 19.3 km long. Garlan also offers a GPS-guided geocaching treasure hunt, for which a usable paper booklet is available at the town hall.

Nature and Landscape

The Dourduff flows between Garlan on its left bank and Plouigneau on its right bank. The cork oaks of Coat Raden are considered extremely rare in Brittany.

Culture and History

The Notre-Dame parish church in Garlan was rebuilt between 1877 and 1879 according to plans by the architect Ernest Le Guerrannic. Its ground plan is shaped like a Latin cross with three naves. It also features an openwork octagonal spire, framed by four lanterns and four openwork gables.

The Colombier de Kerrohant-Vras dovecote, also known as Kerrohant, dates from the 16th century and has 980 nesting chambers arranged in a checkerboard pattern. The privately owned Château de Kervezec dates from 1568; its older section preserves a gate with loopholes and a gallery with machicolations.

The Château du Bois de la Roche is privately owned and cannot be visited. The “Balade verte en Garlan” passes by the entrance to this private château. The private Sainte Anne Chapel in Linquelvez was built in 1649 and was formerly associated with the Manoir de Rascoët.
