Description of the walk

The car park in the centre of the village of Gorrequer is the best place to park.

(S/E) Start by taking the road west towards Pointe du Château, then turn left at the first crossroads onto the road that descends and connects Gorrequer to the village of Logonna via Guernabic.

(1) After about a hundred metres, turn right into the cul-de-sac signposted Pennaras.
Please note that you cannot park or drive into this cul-de-sac, which is reserved for residents.
Cross the small village of Pennaras and at the end take the coastal path which starts northwards through a warren and leads you to the northern edge of Anse de Penfoul, a protected bird sanctuary.
Follow this coastal path heading west, then turning north

(2). The path ends at this point; continue along the road in front of the oyster farm. The coastal path resumes a little further on.
The entrance to the path is marked by the usual sign with a yellow dot and an entrance chicane. This
part of the trail will take you to the fishing port of Pors Beac'h. Along this section, you will walk along
somewhat deserted beaches, as they are not accessible via the trail. On your right, you will notice the bell tower of the Chapelle Sain-Jean chapel.

You will reach Pors Beac'h by continuing straight ahead along a fairly wide path that descends to the port via an
old quarry located behind the sailors' shelter.

(3) Once at the harbour, you can go straight back up to the Gorrequer car park via the road, which is quite steep but short (S/E).

Hello,
The walk could have been really nice on this beautiful sunny day!
But that was without taking the mud into account. Admittedly, it has rained a lot in recent weeks, but this path is particularly muddy with few escape routes, making the walk dangerous. We managed with good shoes and two walking sticks, but without them it would have been impossible. This was particularly true of the first section from point 1 to 2 (the one with lots of steps!) and the section that runs alongside the house garden just after crossing the Pointe du Château road. Perhaps the piles of oyster shells that have accumulated at the tip of this section of the path could be used to make it easier to walk on... Please be careful on this trail!

Very beautiful hike
Yes, the steps are slippery, but if you're careful, especially since it had rained, it's fine!
Worth doing again, the view is fantastic.

Beautiful route along the coast, make sure you wear good shoes in rainy weather. I have rarely seen such a muddy route, so be careful not to slip.

A lovely little walk around the headland, easy to follow as the well-shaded route follows the coastal path.
Beautiful views, but I agree with Christo: the advertised elevation gain does not reflect the level of difficulty: quite a few steep stairs (I took a tumble!).
Thank you for this walk.

A beautiful route with lots of very pleasant shaded sections (I know it depends on the weather), but a comment about the advertised elevation gains: 28 m positive and negative (normal, return to the starting point), but I would say it's three times that! I don't know how the calculation was made. Normally, when elevation gains are given, they are cumulative, and here there is already a 30 m difference between the highest and lowest points! So 28 m...
It's a minor detail, but I wanted to point it out in a friendly manner.
