At the roundabout, turn right and then right again at the small square.

At Penanguer, rejoin theGR®® which veers right into Impasse de Prat An Asquel and comes out behind a large bench facing the sea. Turn left and continue along the top of the beach to the Port de Larvor slipway.

Off the marked trail
(4) At the roundabout, near a crêperie, turn left onto Rue des Tulipes and continue for about 100 metres.
(5) Look for Venelle Saint-Oual on the right, which leads to a small chapel tucked away between houses. Retrace your steps and continue right along Rue des Tulipes, which runs alongside the entrance to a large campsite. Go around the campsite and turn left at the road signposted Kerbernez. Pass the houses and then the road on the right towards Kerizec. At the T-junction, turn right and continue for 50 metres.

(7) At the hairpin bend before the sewage treatment plant basin, turn right towards Kerandraon Plonivel. Follow this road between fields and future housing developments. At the T-junction, turn right to reach a crossroads marked by a recent cross on an old base. Turn left.
(8) About a hundred metres after the cross, turn right onto a wide grassy path. At the three-way junction, continue left to reach the hamlet of Saint-Mélaire: then turn left onto the road. Note the characteristic old farm well on the left. At the next crossroads, rejoin the small road you left earlier and follow it to the left for a few metres. Turn right at the gable end of a house. Continue to cross the hamlet of Kergroës.
(9) At the T-junction, turn left then right at the next junction. Continue south-west, cross a small road and look for the sign opposite indicating the Chapelle de Plonivel, a pleasant place to take a break (picnic table and large grassy enclosure under the plane trees).
YellowPR®® markings

This path winds its way between two hedges of blackthorn and crosses two newly installed footbridges. Continue and look out for the Manoir de Kerlut (private property) on the other bank. Along the ria, there are a few information boards about the flora and fauna. Reach the bridge, which has been newly refurbished to combat silting (information board).
