Autour de Plounéour-Trez

From the village of Plounéour-Trez, take theGR®®34 trail, first following the Goulven beach, which changes with the tides, then opening onto the open sea with a view of Île de Batz on the horizon to the north-east.
The return journey winds its way through the fields. Beautiful dolmen to discover.

Description of the walk

Park at Place de Sausheim near the church and town hall.

GR® 34 White and Red

(S/E) From the car park, take the small street towards the church and town hall. Pass between the church and the old ossuary to reach a car park near the Maison de la Baie (grassy area with toilets and picnic tables).

Blue markings

Take the tourist road opposite towards Peleuz. At the first fork, leave theGR®®34on the left (return route) and continue along the road. At a place called Le Reun, leave the coastal road and take a dead-end road on the right which leads to the sea.

(1) Turn left and follow the path over the dune to a small roundabout. Opposite, you can see the sandy point of Pen ar C'hleuz, the western end of the long dune strip of Ker Emma.

GR® 34 White and Red + Blue markings

(2) Continue along the coastal path and pass the sand yachting centre. Walk alongside the former municipal campsite, now privately owned and renamed "Camping Slow Village Breizh Légendes", which, to be honest, does not enhance the landscape. Instead, look to your right towards the bay. Continue on to Pointe de Beg ar Groaz (Pointe de la Croix) where, as its name suggests, a cross on a rock overlooks the sea. On a clear day, you can see the Île de Batz offshore.

(3) Continue along a rocky area, then at the next point, turn left to walk along Lividic Beach, passing the sports field. Continue for about 500 metres.

Blue markings

(4) At the signpost, leave theGR®®34and the coast to cross the coastal road and take the small road towards the Cosquer district, which you will cross.

(5) At the calvary, leave the road and take a path on the left that leads to the coastal road. Follow this road to the right, walking alongside the sports grounds, then turn right into the first street that still borders the sports grounds.

(6) At the corner of the stadium, turn right, then climb up the grassy area (sports field) and continue along a path and then a short stretch of road until you reach a fork.

(7) Turn left, then take a path on the right that winds between the fields. Pass the greenhouse buildings on your right, then make a short first turn left then right to go around a group of rocks and stones removed from the fields. You will come to a road at a place called Diévet.

(8) At a cross, look for the sign for "dolmen" and follow the path that leads to it through the fields. Retrace your steps, cross a road and continue straight ahead. Pass a crossroads near Noblessa and rejoin the coastal road you took at the start. Turn right to go up towards the church. Go around it on the left, then go up to the right towards the town hall. Turn left to return to the car park at Place de Sausheim (S/E).

Thank you for your review.
Sorry about the transition between fields.
During my reconnaissance, I did not encounter this problem.
It is indeed a marked trail recognised by the local council, but...
Kind regards

One area in the countryside (behind the greenhouses) is inaccessible, part of the path is very muddy (recent passage of agricultural machinery) and at one point there is no longer a path but a cabbage field. We therefore turned off shortly after the dolmen (heading towards the dunes) to take a local road.

Visiting "out of season", I didn't meet many people. The coastal section is very beautiful, but the countryside section is nothing special. I didn't see the point of going back down to pass by the football pitch again. The section through the fields when they've just been ploughed isn't great, you can't even see the path anymore. But it's still a good walk, taking 1 hour 35 minutes rather than 2 hours 25 minutes as indicated.
