South of Perros-Guirec, between Saint-Quay-Perros and Pleumeur-Bodou

A charming exploration of the Perros hinterland, featuring the Kernivinen Chapel, its sunken paths through which small streams flow, and the granite boulders scattered amongst private plots – all traces of a thousand-year-old past. This route, which starts in Saint-Quay-Perros, takes visitors to the commune of Pleumeur-Bodou and continues on to Perros-Guirec, passing through the Kergadic Business Park.

Description of the walk

Park in the car park of the community hall below the Town Hall.

(S/E) Walk down to the bottom of the car park and head off to the left. Look for the traces of a path that runs along a slope before reaching a housing estate. When you reach the road, turn right.

(2) Take the path on the left (signposted “Chemin de Crec’h Méen”) and walk due south. Follow the path to its end. You’ll come to a road; follow it to the right. At the junction 30 metres further on, turn right. Follow this road to the left as it turns north-west. It becomes a track and then crosses the Kerduel stream. Ignore the road on the right and carry on straight ahead until you reach a track. Take this track to the right and walk south-west.

(3) When the track turns left, carry on straight ahead to quickly reach a wide stony track. This leads onto a service road at Prat Foucaud. Turn right, then after 50 metres turn left and continue along this road. At the end of the road, turn left.

Head south down to the Chapel of Kernivinen.

(4) Carry on to the end of the road, turn right and, after 20 metres, take the path on the left. At the houses, join a road and follow it to the left. Continue south-south-west; the road becomes a track.

(5) At the wayside cross on your left, turn right. Follow the track to its end and, on the road, take the left-hand lane. It very quickly becomes a track. Continue along this track.

(8) Turn right and then immediately left onto Route de Kerrougant. Take the first road on the right towards Pont Névez. Pass through the hamlet and carry straight on.

(9) At the Kerlessanouet junction, turn right then left at Crec’h Ranic until you reach the departmental road.

(10) Cross the main road again – take care. Carry on straight ahead and enter the business park. Turn left opposite the “Espace Rouzig” building, then turn right and right again onto Rue Gustave Eiffel. At the junction, cross the road and carry on straight ahead towards Kerhuel.

(11) On the road, turn right then left, passing the entrance to the sewage treatment works on your right. Pass through Kerhuel and continue to the D6, which you take on the right.

A pleasant route with a few wet spots but nothing too difficult.

Important note: the start and finish points have been changed due to beautification work in the municipality.
For locals, there is no problem taking an adjacent path, but visitors may have to take the hike in reverse.

If this is your first time in Ploumanach, after Saint Guirec beach, don’t follow the suggested route. Stick to the coastal path – it doesn’t get any more beautiful than this
