Starting from Lanriot Chapel, you can park behind the chapel. There is a picnic table nearby.
(S/E) Set off from behind the chapel, head down towards the river (Anse de Lanriot) and take the path to the left. Follow the coastal path to Port du Bélon. Stay on the road rather than going down to the car park, as the view of the port is more interesting.
(1) At the bottom of the harbour, take the stairs to the right of the cruise ticket office. At the top of the stairs, turn right and continue along the coastal path.
(2) At Anse du Gorgèn, at low tide you can see the tables on which the famous oysters are farmed. Continue along the path.
(3) The oyster beds were once monitored from this small house. Continue along the path beside the Domaine de Beg Porz. There are a few technical sections further along the path. A few metres before the caretakers' house, you can take the path on the left to reach the Kerfany road. Head towards the point to resume the hike from the Fusiliers Monument.
(4) At the end of the war, members of the Resistance and an English pilot were shot and buried here.
Join the road on the side of the monument. At the point, you can see the mouths of the Bélon and karstic cave rivers and the Glénans islands in good weather. Orientation table. Cross the Kerfany-les-Pins housing estate to reach the beach. After the restaurant "L'Auberge de la Mer", take the coastal path to the grey beach (colour of its sand).
(5) Take the path on the left, after the tidal ferry and the bench and before the descent to the beach, to the village of Kermen, after crossing the D116. A former fishing village, these houses have been particularly well restored. Once you enter the village, turn onto the first road on the left, then onto the path on the right at the end of the road. Follow it to reach the Saint-Gwenaël Chapel (Saint-Guinal on the map).
(6) Take the small sunken path at the top right of the chapel, which leads into the undergrowth. After crossing the stream, turn left, then take the first right.
(7) At the top of the hill, follow the tarmac road to the right to join the Kerfany road (Rue de Bel Air). Continue a few metres to the right, turn left, then right and left again to enter the village of Kersel via Rue des Marins. Once again, this is an old fishing village, with a beautiful thatched cottage and several sundials on the houses. At the lowest point of Rue des Marins, turn left onto Allée de la Chapelle, which leads back to the starting point (S/E).
