In line with previous reviews, we encountered a difficulty at point 1 where the pond empties into the sea. A pleasant route to take at low tide.

A beautiful route along the coast and small country roads.
Unfortunately, at point 1, it was impossible to continue because the pond empties into the sea and an impassable stream blocks the way. We will return when the weather is better.

Thank you for this review
Storm Ciaran and heavy rainfall have affected many hiking trails
This pond area is likely to be particularly flooded, especially as the dune recedes with each storm.

A run along the beach, which is quite difficult on soft sand, but manageable. It is possible to avoid returning via the beach by going around Loc'h Lougar on the tarmac road. You don't get the sea view, but the countryside is also very nice. However, this adds almost a kilometre to the route (10.4 km in total).

Please note, following storms CIARAN and heavy rain:
two sections of the trail have collapsed. They are marked with red and white signs.
The return between points 7 and 8 is not passable as you approach point 8 (flooding). You must turn right at Loc'h Louriec and then left to rejoin the trail. (There is no more soft sand at this point, it is hard ground.)

Difficult going, lots of soft sand.
if we take a small parallel path lower down (which is hard), we lose sight of the ocean. A shame

Thank you for this review.
I completed this route and wrote its description in May. At that time, there were no problems with the water level, but there was still soft sand, as indicated.
Kind regards.

Taken today, with sunshine at the start and end, clouds in between but no rain, and a refreshing breeze!
There was indeed a lot of soft sand on the route, which is not recommended for people who have difficulty walking on this type of terrain. Fortunately, it was low tide, which allowed us to walk on hardened sand.

There was a difficulty at point 1. Due to the level of the pond, you have to go via the beach and then remember to go straight back up to find the path so you don't have to walk in soft sand.
On the way back to point 1, we missed the Kerdallé path (due to the water level?). Was the sign not visible? We resumed the route at the next car park.
A lovely walk with beautiful views of the islands.

Hiking in the rain, but it's a very beautiful route, even in the drizzle.
Lots of birds in the ponds. The flora of the dunes is also interesting.
It's true that walking in "soft" sand (even wet) isn't ideal, but it's nothing insurmountable.

It is difficult when arriving at the Trévignon ponds, on the sandy paths where you sink into the sand. It is preferable to walk on the beach on the wet sand, provided it is low tide, of course.

We did this hike at the end of summer, so the ponds were a little dry. As warned, the walk is a little difficult around Kerouini beach, but the circular hikes through the villages are pleasant and welcome. We regretted not bringing binoculars to watch the birds. A very enjoyable end-of-season hike.
