Description of the walk

The walk can start from several points. We chose to start from the old school in Bois Bourgerel.
(S/E) Go down the road towards the gulf in the direction of Keriboul. Take the street on the left and follow it until you reach the "Le Moulin du Pont" bridge.

(1) Take theGR®34on the right, signposted "Chemin côtier", Port Blanc 3.4km. Follow the path along the coast.

(2) At the end of the path, take the road on the left. At the end of the street, turn left to reach the sea, then turn right (path before the oyster farmer's hut).
Leave the path onto the road, turn left then take the path on the right (you will arrive at the village of Bois Bas): sign for Port Blanc 2.1km.

(3) When you reach Port Blanc (you will have been walking along the coast the whole time), cross the ferry terminal and take the road that climbs slightly to the right. Go up to the roundabout and turn left.

(4) At the end of the car park, take the path opposite. Follow the path along the coast until you reach the exit along an oyster farm.

(5) At the road, turn left, then turn left onto the path to Manoir de Cardelan (Kerdelan on the map)
At the end of the path, turn left onto Route de Kerfranc. Continue to the intersection with the D316.

(6) Turn right, then take the first road on the right (Route de Manè Ormand) and follow it to the junction with the D316a.

(7) Cross it and take Rue de Bois Bourgerel opposite to return to the car park (S/E).

A beautiful hike that takes just under three hours. There are few paved roads except between 5 and 6 and then 7 and 8. Be careful on the way back: the junction for 7 is located about ten metres after the current sign on the Visorando app (you pass through fields on a path enclosed on both sides). Not too crowded at this time of year. The paths are fairly dry throughout, with almost no muddy sections. Just before marker 4, the 400-year-old oak tree on the path is truly impressive! Just before 5, on this windy day, you can see lots of wingfoils 😊

A very pleasant route dotted with magnificent views of the Gulf. However, it is a shame that there is little of interest and a lot of tarmac from point 6 onwards, but you do have to get back to the starting point...

The section between points 1 and 5 is the most pleasant because the coastline is quite wild (apart from Port-Blanc, which is very touristy).
It's a shame that between points 5 and 6, we can't walk along the coast.
A short section after point 6 can be a little dangerous if there is heavy traffic on the main road, as there is no pavement for walkers.

A very pleasant route overall, even if you have to leave the coastal path to return to the starting point in order to complete the loop.

There is a slight problem with the starting point because we can find a path to the old school but not the "old school" itself.

easy, well-marked route with magnificent views of the Gulf of Morbihan. The return journey is a little less pleasant, but it also allows you to discover the surrounding countryside

We couldn't park at the old school but had to park at Penmern, which wasn't a problem for the hike.
A pleasant and easy hike to follow. It might be a good idea to specify when to leave the GR34.
We want to walk around the gulf but return to our starting point, and this hike is perfect for that.
Thank you to the person who posted it online.

A beautiful hike starting at the Pomper mill, easy, pleasant, with breathtaking views. The view of Île aux Moines at Toulindac is remarkable and perfect for rest and relaxation. A little corner of paradise in the Gulf of Morbihan.

A beautiful hike, starting from "Le Moulin de Pomper", which is easier to park at, but makes the route longer (return trip from the mill to reach the start of the route and to finish it). We did the route in reverse order so that we could start with the road (lots of tarmac, but beautiful properties to see) and finish with the most enjoyable part: the coastal paths. Thank you for suggesting this route
