A one-way route that is quite a challenge as it is relatively long, yet very rewarding. You’ll need to contend with the wind, choppy water and currents that are sometimes against you – such as between Pointe de Locmiquel and Pointe du Blair – or in your favour, such as when sailing up the Rivière d’Auray. But these conditions naturally vary with the tides and the day’s weather. You’ll admire the scenery of the gulf, the passing sailing boats and, gradually, the coastline narrowing into the ‘Loc’h’, as it’s known.

A beautiful circular walk, mostly along the coast, offering magnificent views of the cliffs of Bonifacio on the way there and back over the Gulf of Ventilegne. This is particularly recommended on windy days when the waves break on the rocky chaos of Cap de Feno with Sardinia in the background. The hike starts at the Hermitage of the Trinity, a place to visit for contemplation with a Way of the Cross on mercy. Plan to go swimming in the wild coves.
