Take the small street called Rue de la Traverse de la Grève, which winds between the gardens. Follow it straight ahead for 150 m. At the intersection, continue along the path opposite for 80 m, then take the narrow stairs. At the bottom of the stairs, take the road on the left.
(7) After 60 m, a path leads to Baie de Launay, formerly known as Sorbonne Plage because it was a holiday resort for famous scientists: Marie and Pierre Curie, Irène and Frédéric Joliot-Curie, Jean Perrin, Louis Lapicque and Paul Langevin, whose houses can be seen on the point to your left.

At the bottom of the stairs, leave the street on your right that leads to the pier for Île de Bréhat and cross to take the small path parallel to the road on the left (GR® and PR® Loguivy de la Mer signs). On your right is the Irène and Frédéric Joliot-Curie memorial, made entirely of pink granite.

After 180 m, just before Traou Riou, turn right onto the GR® and ignore the PR® sign for "Circuit de Lan Vras". Continue along the coastal path between the embankments and then into the woods (500 m), without turning off.
As you leave the woods, you will come to a short rocky section, which is not dangerous, with four steps carved into the rock that may be slippery. Follow the path downhill for 120 m until you reach Gouern Bay.
The path turns left and follows the coastline. Follow it straight ahead for 400 m. The path passes between a house and the beach; continue straight ahead. Walk along the bay and, at the playground, turn right to reach Loguivy. You are still on the GR®.
