    This former railway line has been renovated into a Green Way (‘voie verte’) route running from Tréboul in Douarnenez towards Quimper. It stops at a place called Ty Planch just outside the city.
    Green Ways are only open to non-motorised users, so they are perfect for walking, running, cycling and mountain-biking, thanks to its relatively flat surface.

    Beginning of the green way :

    Route  de Pors an Eostic – Douarnenez

    Promenade E. Paulet (near the playground)

    End of the green way:

    Hamlet Ty Planche, in the town of Guengat

     

    Distance from Ty Planche to Quimper city center: around 6km

    Public transportation option: line 23 (network QUB) from the end of the green way to Quimper city center
