Very nice, easy walk with beautiful scenery on different islands, the sun was with us.
Chapelle de Kerners visited in the afternoon as the morning was closed.
We also walked 19 km.
Perhaps the initial description should be corrected?

It's a lovely walk, with magnificent scenery.

Physically, I can't do the 16 km, so I opted for another variant with fewer kilometres.

  • Park your car at the Aire du Sanso next to the Super U in Arzon
  • Take the free shuttle bus to Port Navalo (line 1 or 2)
  • then pick up marker 3, then 4, 5, 6 and 7
  • At point 7, I got out and drove 30 minutes in an urban area to look for my car parked at the Sanso service area, using Google Maps.
  • that's 10 km

without doubt the most beautiful walk around Arzon, a few kilometres but no difficulty.
Perfect description and itinerary.
In my opinion, it's best to do it at high tide.
On the other hand, my Visorando and Adidas running apps give me a good 19 km.
3 km difference anyway
Thanks for the walk

For this walk, we escaped the rain that fell just before we set off. But the skies cleared quickly and the wind blew the clouds away, allowing us to discover the ports, the entrance to the gulf, the islands and the shoreline of the gulf.
It's simply magnificent. The most of the 3 hikes we did during these 3 days on the peninsula.

Hello Michlamor,

You rated the description and the map layout as "average". Could you tell me why you rated it as average? I'm actually surprised by this after having scored 25 very good or good so far.
Perhaps you got lost and that would explain why you didn't find your way around in the description?
Even so, when faced with 25 good ratings, you have to ask yourself questions.
Thanks for giving me feedback on your difficulties.

A walk alternating between small beaches, beautiful wild coastlines and an imposing marina: we had a lovely afternoon!
