Description of the walk

(S/E) Leave Place des Anciens Combattants by taking Rue du Commandant Carfort on the left. Before the roundabout, first turn right then left and continue right along Rue de Kenilis (GR® 34). Leave a path on the left and, after Briémen, arrive at "l'Allée Blanche".

(1) Leave theGR® and turn left into this wooded lane and continue to Rue du Général De Gaulle, crossing it with caution. Opposite you is the 18th-century Chapelle du Croazou.

(2) Take the Kervéreguen road (cycle path) on the left and go through the Hent Croaz roundabout.

(3) After the roundabout, turn into the first street on the left (yellow markings). It runs alongside the Résidence des Primevères. Follow the path as it continues. Keep going straight ahead, ignoring the turnings on either side. At the end of the path, turn left and pass by a pretty fountain.

(4) Opposite the École Saint-Tudy, turn right into Rue de Poulpeyre, turn right, then left into Rue de Kerandouret. At the wooden barrier, turn right into a cul-de-sac that leads to the École Jules Ferry and turn left into the street of the same name. Go to the end of the street and turn right onto Rue Hent Poull Gleuvian.

(5) At the end of this street, between the cultural centre and the sports complex, continue straight ahead along a path to Rue de Glévian (at the start of this path, on your left, there is a pretty wash house).
Turn right towards Pontual Vihan, then take Chemin de Pontual on the left. At the fork, take the Karreg Kong alley on the left to reach Rue du Général Pigeaud.

(6) Turn left and follow the coast to Pointe de Langoz. Sometimes it will be necessary to walk along the beach and the shore (take the tide into account).

(7) At the point, reach the port via Rue du Phare on the left, then Rue de Kerlannick on the right. At the end of the street, turn left onto Rue de la Palue, which leads to Rue de la Grandière.

(8) Opposite the old "Le Gall" cannery (currently being restored), turn right into this street and head towards the seafront opposite Île-Tudy.

(9) Back on dry land, walk up Rue de Kergall to Rue Sébastien Guiziou, where you will turn right. The fifth street on the right will take you to Place des Anciens Combattants, your starting point (S/E).

Worth a visit

Croazou Chapel: it dates from the 18th century, with a 14th-century west door that has been reused.

Two crosses, hence the plural croaziou or croachou: one bears a crucifix within a panel with braces, Rue du Suler; the other is in ruins, with only a rectangular base remaining. In the fenced area of land, seascape, is the only Irish-style cross in the region. The Suler fountain is hidden in another green setting.

Not very busy for this mid-June day, certainly busier in July. The section from Loctudy northwards along the coast with views of the islands is superb, while the return journey inland is a little long and less varied.

A very pleasant route that allows you to discover the different faces of Loctudy. I think it's just as interesting for local walkers as it is for visitors.

There was a minor issue at the Résidence des Primevères, probably due to new housing developments.
We toured Langoz via the rocks, which was more enjoyable than walking through the streets.
We enjoyed the activity at the fish market.

Walking around Langoz via the rocks is easier than going via Pointe de Kergall, and the view is nicer than from the streets. Rather than going up Rue du Port, take Rue des Perdrix (behind the fish market) and turn left at the first street to go up Rue Sébastien Guiziou – especially if you are in a group, as it is a one-way street with little traffic.

A wonderful discovery in Loctudy
We were impressed by the imposing villas.
At first, we passed by the beautiful Romanesque church, which was open, and then we found our way back to the route.

Three points in the description caused us a little trouble:
- (3) The name of the street is not indicated, but we found confirmation at the "Résidence des Primevères" sign.
I suggest: "After the roundabout, turn into the first street on the left (yellow signpost). It runs alongside the "Résidence des Primevères".
- Before (4), I would have noted "At the end of the road, turn left, pass by a pretty fountain and, opposite the École Saint-Tudy, turn right into Rue de Poulpeyre.
- After the (4), I will have noted "At the wooden barrier, turn right into a cul-de-sac that leads to the École Jules Ferry and turn left into the street of the same name". (The school building is imposing and easier to spot than the street sign).
These details may be useful in confirming the route.

Thank you for this beautiful route.

Thank you for your comment. This is my first hike posted on Viso rando, and I take your opinion as encouragement.
See you soon, perhaps in the Bigouden region.
