GR®® 34, marked in white and red
(Out and back) From the crossing to Île Berder (see photo), take Rue du Drénez in the direction of traffic.
(1) Turn right onto Rue de la Montagne for 100 m and, at the Stop sign, turn right onto Rue du Perrick, which ends in a cul-de-sac near the shore.
(2) Follow the path on the left, which winds its way above an oyster farm. After a short stretch across a small beach, the path climbs up towards Chemin de Kerdelan, then Chemin du Moulin.
(3) Turn right onto the Chemin de Pen en Toul, where you’ll find a viewpoint on the left overlooking the Marais de Pen en Toul. 500 metres further on, take a path on the left that descends towards the dyke separating the marsh from the Anse de Kerdélan. (see photo)
(4) Cross the dyke using the footpath on the left-hand side of the stone bridge. At the other end of the bridge, turn left onto the path. This path runs alongside the brackish-water lagoon, which is home to a wealth of biodiversity, for about 1.5 km (see photo).
No signposting
(5) Continue straight on, passing two fountains (see photo). Leave theGR®®34here; it climbs to the right towards the hamlet of Locqueltas. The path leads onto the Route de la Saline, which is a dead end at this point.
(6) Take this road to the left for about 500 m and turn right onto the path that runs behind a shipyard. About 130 m further on, you’ll come to the first fork (not shown on the map): take the left-hand path through an opening in the embankment. About 150 m further on, there’s another fork (not shown on the map): take the second path cut into the embankment on the right. The path leads to a dead-end in the hamlet of Boulen, which leads to the D316.
(7) Turn left onto the D316 and walk for about 60 metres until you find a wide path on the right (see photo) which leads into Rue Mane ar Velin.
(8) Turn left onto Rue du Danut, which soon reaches Anse de Locmiquel. Walk along the left-hand side of the long beach towards Larmor Baden.

The path follows the coast, passing by Pointe du Berchis to the small beach of the same name.
(9) The path goes round this beach, which may be inaccessible at high tide. Continue along the coast towards Île Berder, passing in turn through Port Lagaden (see 2 photos) and the main harbour at Larmor Baden, where the jetty for Île de Gavrinis is located.
(10) Carry on until you finally reach the path to Île Berder (S/E).
