A lovely route, a bit too much tarmac for our liking, but it’s hard to do it any other way.

A very beautiful parish along the banks of the Rance. Some sections must be difficult in rainy weather, but that wasn't the case on Sunday morning.
Highly recommended

A beautiful hike between land and sea, easy to follow but with quite a few ascents and descents, which can make it a bit slippery in wet weather. It was dry today, so it was very pleasant between the coastal paths of the Rance and the surrounding villages and hamlets. It is possible to shorten the route if it is too long for some people.

A very beautiful hike in early May, classified as difficult due to its steep slopes and climbs; above all, it should not be attempted in wet weather. Furthermore, the grass had not been cut on some of the paths.
