START: You can park in the parking lot at Ty-Colo lake, 29290 Saint-Renan, near the athletics stadium.

The Post Office building was built on the site of the Saint-Renan railway station.
The tracks were located on today's Rue du Pont de Bois, and the Aber Ildut river ran parallel to them.

Saint-Renan

In 1957, the Saint Renan marshes revealed a large deposit of tin ore, exploited by the Compagnie minière de Saint Renan.
After fifteen years of exploitation, the deposit was exhausted.
Today, seven lakes remain.
In the heart of the town, the shores of the "Ty Colo" and "la Comiren" lakes have been landscaped for the enjoyment of walkers.
The smooth waters of the Ty Colo lake were the first in Brittany to host an astonishing water sport: wakeboarding, on a wakeboard pulled by a cable.

The hike will (re)discover the Lac de la laverie, Poulinoc and Lannéon lakes.
