GR® signposting (white and red)
(S/E) Opposite the Ville Close, turn left onto the GR®34, pass the statue of Abraham Duquesne and the European Centre for Continuing Maritime Education, and continue along the GR®, which alternates between footpaths and tarmac sections, until you reach Porzou Beach.
(1) Continue along the GR® and cross the Bois du Porzou to go round the swimming pool on the right. Pass the Centre Nautique and the Kersaux car park on your left and carry on to a large esplanade at the rear of the Lycée Pierre Guéguin. Walk along the right-hand side of it until you reach the start of a path on the right between two houses.
(2) Follow this path, cross Rue Jean Jaurès, take the street opposite which continues as a path, and cross Rue Utrillo. Follow it to the right for a few metres, then turn left into Rue du Galion and follow it to the end.
(3) Turn right onto Rue des Terres Neuvas, then left onto Impasse du Drakkar, which veers left then right and continues as a path leading to Avenue du Cabellou. Follow it to the right along a cleared path, cross a stream via a footbridge and go round the Kersaux football stadium on the right.
(4) Continue along the GR® and join a small road called Chemin de Park Rouz, which veers to the right then to the left before reaching Avenue du Cabellou. Follow it to the right for about a hundred metres and walk along Plage de la Belle Étoile as far as the Chapelle Saint-Fiacre.
(5) With your back to the chapel, turn right onto Avenue du Cabellou, then right again onto Allée des Genêts d’Or. Cross Allée des Fleurs d’Ajoncs and, opposite, slightly to the right, take Allée des Tamaris. Carry on, cross Allée des Sauges and reach the pretty Plage des Bouchers.
(6) Leave the tarmac and continue left onto the GR® via a path that runs alongside several small beaches before heading into Anse du Minaouët (Anse du Moulin à Mer on the IGN map) and reaching the mill of the same name after skirting a series of coves of varying depths (note the several rocky outcrops along the way).

(7) With your back to the mill, retrace your steps, spot a narrow path opposite between the back of a house and a wire fence, and follow it; step over a stile at the junction of the path with a small road called Chemin de Kerambars and follow it to the left to reach the entrance to the hamlet of Kerambars.

(8) Turn right onto a gently ascending path leading to a housing estate; cross Avenue du Cabellou and continue straight ahead into Rue Jean Mermoz. Cross Rue de Trégunc (D322) with care, take Rue de la Carène opposite and, after about fifty metres, turn right onto a path that goes round a housing estate and leads to a wetland area in the woodland.
(9) Continue along the path which veers to the left, ignore a path on the left and turn right to cross a stream via a footbridge and reach Rue Louis Néel. Follow this street, cross Rue Ambroise Paré, continue straight ahead along Rue Léonard de Vinci and reach Rue de Lanriec.
(10) Cross it carefully, continue to the left along a wide pavement, ignore the first street on the right and turn right into Rue de la Grande Hermine. Follow it to the end, turn left for a few metres onto Rue de la Fontaine aux Loups and look out for a path on the right at the edge of a wood.
(11) Follow this path downhill and head north-west, leaving the houses on the hillside to your left and the port’s industrial buildings below you on your right.
Unmarked
As you emerge from the woods, take a small road on the right which leads to Rue de Trégunc.
(12) Walk up it on the left along a wide pavement, pass a large warehouse on your right and cross the road carefully to turn right into Rue Louis Krebs. Turn right into Rue de Verdun, which continues as Rue du Vétéran, then turn right into Rue Mauduit Duplessis to reach Place Duquesne (S/E).
