(S/E) From the Pointe de Men Meur car park, set off with your back to the sea and follow the road that skirts a large estate until you reach a new car park (toilets). Admire the beautiful row of light blue and white benches.
Take the boardwalk over the dune and continue along the seafront to the first barrier (opposite, sign prohibiting bicycles).
No signposting
(1) Leave the seafront on the right, following the path over the dune, until you reach a roundabout. Keep left, cross the road and take a passageway between the houses (no. 86 on the letterbox). You’ll emerge onto Rue du Docteur Jacq, where you’ll notice a beautiful pebble arrangement on the wall to your right.
At the first junction, house no. 7, turn left onto the old railway line, now converted into a shared path for pedestrians and cyclists. Pass behind a car garage and arrive at a junction of paths.
PR® yellow markings
(2) Turn right onto the wide grassy path that runs alongside a wetland on your left (orchids in June on the embankment), go round the chapel and its grassy esplanade to find the fountain on the left.
(3) Ignore a path on the left and a small road on the right to head straight ahead onto a discreet path through the moorland. At the end, on the right, is an old building with a bread oven.
Continue along the path to the left. Look out for a discreet sign on the right indicating a site where
cross bases and millstones were extracted. Continue to reach a more open area where two paths meet. Turn right, cross a stream which may overflow in winter, and continue for about 800m along a wide, ascending tarmac path.
(4) Just before a road, turn right onto a wide stony track, pass a large agricultural shed on your left and come out onto a small road which you follow to the right. Turn onto the first road on the left and follow it to the entrance to the hamlet of Le Meinier.
(5) At the barely visible signpost on the left, leave the road and take a path, cross a small footbridge and continue straight ahead across a grassy area. Pass the sports grounds on your right, turn left then right near an old maritime pine and continue through the grassy area to reach the Primot housing estate. Follow the street which joins the D53.
(6) Cross this road carefully and continue straight ahead. A sign indicates a tumulus 50 metres away.
Opposite the entrance to a quarry, turn left into the woods and climb this hill to discover a dolmen.
Return to the road and continue left to reach the hamlet of Trévars, where you can see, on the right behind a cross with its base, a group of three fountains. (Unfortunately, when I visited in June, they were overgrown; I reported this to the Tourist Office).
(7) Turn left and follow the path that winds its way through the fields. Note another cross with its base. Go round an imposing livestock farm on the right (another old cross, still with its base) and join the D53.
(8) Cross with care and take the road called Hent Ar Siprez. It continues as a farm track until it reaches a road, which you take to the left. Follow this road, ignoring the side paths (PR®® crossroads), and continue until you reach a large stone cross on the right.
(9) Turn left onto a small tarmac road and head for the crossroads at a place called Kerzidal. In the bend, on the right, at the edge of a property, look out for an old wash house now overgrown with aquatic plants (marked as a fountain on the map). Pass a few houses.
(10) Near three signposts for walking routes, turn onto a wide grassy path bordered by heathland on both sides. Walk for about 450m, looking out for a discreet metal post on the left bearing a yellow and mountain bike mark just before an ash tree on the right. This post marks the entrance to the remains of a small covered walkway, on the left amongst the vegetation. Return to the path and continue to the junction with the old railway line.

(11) Turn right, go through the barrier and carefully cross the road in two stages (there is a small decorated garden in the middle), then pass between the house where a replica galleon stands and the beach car park. Continue to beach access point no. 31.
GR® 34, blue and red markings
Turn right, cross a footbridge and rejoin the boardwalk on the dune.
(1) Continue along the path taken on the way there to Pointe de Men Meur. On the rocks, you can also see the scars left by the extraction of cross bases and millstones (S/E).
