Access: Take the D44 linking Bénodet to Pont-l’Abbé; turn off at the sign for Kermor, marked with a beach pictogram indicating a viewpoint. The large car park is immediately on the right as you turn onto this road.
YellowPR®® signposting
(S/E) With your back to the car park, head towards the old dovecote, which has been converted into an observatory (you can climb up to it). Take the road on the left towards the Kerscuntec farm, which has been converted into lodges.
(1) Turn right onto a wooded track and follow this path heading due south. From time to time, old oak trees jut out well beyond the embankment. Further on, the path runs alongside a majestic pine forest and turns south-east. At the gate, by an iron cross on the embankment to the right, veer to the right.
Unmarked
(2) Follow this wide lane, ignoring the paths to the left and right. You’ll come to a gate just before the Roscanvel farm, where the Sivom Combrit – Île-Tudy office is located (information on the polder).
PR®® yellow signposting
(3) Turn left to rejoin thePR®®. Just past the farm buildings, you’ll come across a pretty fountain and a wash house on the right. These are not marked on the map or on the ground. Continue along the path – which may be damp in winter – until you reach a small road.
Follow it to the left along a wide grassy verge. You’ll come out onto a busier road opposite the former holiday centre, which you’ll walk alongside.
(4) Follow this road to the left. It can be busy in summer as it leads to the beach. Look out for the sign on the right for ‘Treustel Nevez-plage’, which is where we’ll head back.
Unmarked section
(5) At the Treustel Névez farm on the left, take a detour of about 300 m to see the Treustel menhir. Retrace your steps, turn right for a few metres, cross the road with care and turn left, following the sign you spotted earlier (Treustel Nevez-plage).
YellowPR®® markings (less frequent)
Walk alongside the disused tennis courts and follow the long straight path through a meadow. Cross a stream via a footbridge and continue until you reach the start of a path on the right
No signposting
(6) Take this path, which joins a road, and follow it to the end. Turn right to follow the footpath alongside the D144; pass the Étang de Kermor on your left and arrive at a road on the left.
(7) Turn into this street, follow it straight on, then turn left when you reach the GR®® trail.
GR®34: red and white markings + VTT2
Follow this road to the left towards Le Haffond. Continue straight on between the houses, then take the path which becomes grassy. Pass the farm, make a zigzag turn left then right to join a track marked with a sign reading ‘No entry except for residents’. Continue through heathland and marshland until you reach the Kermor Pond embankment. Cross the embankment, keeping the pond on your left and Pouldon Cove on your right.
Unmarked section
At the end of the dyke, continue across a grassy area alongside some houses.
(8) At the end, turn left onto a footpath, cross a road and continue along this path until you reach Avenue de Bretagne. Turn right, then, at the Le Maracana bar-restaurant, use the pedestrian crossing to cross the avenue. Take Rue des Chardons Bleus to reach the dune and the seaside.
GR®34: red and white markings + VTT2 +PR®® yellow
(9) Turn left towards the north-east and follow the path that runs along the seafront.
Pass close to the aqua-fitness centre.
(10) Continue along the Chemin des Douaniers.
This path winds its way between the polder’s wetlands and the dune; it was rebuilt following the damage caused by the storms of winter 2013–2014.
Just before leaving the seafront, you can climb up onto the dune via a designated path to enjoy a beautiful view of the entire coastline. This is also the path you’ll take to leave the beach if you’ve chosen the seafront route.
Head back down and continue for 50 metres to the right. Just before the car park, at a large, solitary maritime pine, leave the Chemin des Douaniers to the left.
Unmarked section
(11) Follow this grassy path heading due north for about 1.7 km. It becomes a wide bridle path lined with beautiful mature pine forests. At the gate, turn left, follow the small road which passes close to Kerscuntec Farm, now on your right, then turn right near the dovecote to return to the car park (S/E).
