Tips from the Community
"The church, dedicated to Our Lady, was built around 1200 for a priory of the Abbey of St-Sulpice des Bois near Rennes. It is a three-aisled basilica in austere Romanesque form. A rugged, unarticulated crossing tower rises above the crossing. [...] The west façade and the portal were altered in the 16th century. In the 17th century, the priory buildings south of the church were rebuilt. A cloister wing, dating from 1670, has been preserved on the south wall of the nave. The priory was destroyed during the French Revolution. The church was not used as a parish church until 1857." https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notre-Dame_(Quimper) The Jardin de Locmaria, located directly on the banks of the Odet River, is also beautiful, as it is already subject to the tides of the sea here.

Bénodet is a small French commune with 3,878 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2022) in the Cornouaille region. It is located in Brittany, in the Finistère department, in the Quimper arrondissement. The name "Bénodet" comes from the Breton language: "Ben" means "head," and "Odet" is the river on which the commune lies. The commune is thus located at the head (or mouth) of the Odet. The commune is located in the Cornouaille region, 13 kilometers (8.2 miles) south of the city of Quimper, at the mouth of the wide, deep Odet estuary, which cuts deep into the land, into the Atlantic Ocean. The Odet estuary is crossed north of the commune by the Pont de Cornouaille, a high road bridge. The more popular tourist towns of Concarneau and Pont-l'Abbé are just a few kilometers away.

The eucalyptus forest is off-limits; fences have been erected to the left and right of the path, preventing the forest's magic from truly unfolding. The path is suitable for cycling, but nothing more.
