Le GR38 traverse la Bretagne en reliant Douarnenez en Finistère à Redon en Ille-et-Vilaine sur 361,9 kilomètres. Véritable colonne vertébrale de la Bretagne intérieure, le GR38 vous fait découvrir des paysages variés où bocages, forêts et vallées se succèdent. Ce long sentier balisé traverse progressivement l'ouest vers l'est, offrant une immersion dans les terres bretonnes authentiques, loin des littoraux touristiques. Les deux départements du Finistère et de l'Ille-et-Vilaine révèlent leurs caractères distincts : bocages côtiers au départ, puis paysages progressivement plus vallonnés. Le GR38 est accessible en transports en commun, avec des gares SNCF à Douarnenez et Redon permettant une randonnée sans véhicule personnel.
