View of the port of Lézardrieux
Kergrist chapel

Description of the walk

Start: Kergrist chapel on the old Lézardrieux-Paimpol road called Paimpol through Kergrist.
Signs: GR®34 in part and Yellow in part

(S/E) : Walk along the Kergrist chapel by the cloister, then cross the road at the pedestrian crossing and take the "Traou Vantan" marked path on the right, which joins the GR®34. Note the wash-house and the fountain.

(1) Follow this path along the banks of the Trieux river, offering a fine view of the Lézardrieux marina on the opposite shore.

(2) Leave a path on the right, this will be the return path.

(3) Pass behind the maritime high school, then the nautical center, and continue along the Goelo flora and fauna trail to reach the beach "Plage de Coz-Castel", ideal for a break.

(4) Leave the GR® and take the small road that climbs to the right of the Glénans nautical center.
Pass the "Trieux" marine farm on the left.

(5) Shortly afterwards, when the road bends, turn left onto the botanical path. Join a farm track where you turn right twice to reach "Landéby" town. Note the stele of Saint-Yves dating from 1737 on the right.

(6) Turn right towards Kerlo town, pass the road leading to this hamlet and take a wide path to the left (hent Fentan Vihan).

(7) Reach a fountain and continue on to Traou Vilin town. Follow the "Trieux" path. Pass Toul Mezou then Kermarec towns.

(8) Turn right at the GR® sign and follow the marks to reach the Trieux river.

(2) Turn left, and return back upstream.
Return to the chapel along the "Traou Vantan" path (S/E).

parish specific to Brittany, with a first part along the Trieux but the 2nd part even if it is in the countryside is good too.

A fine walk on dry ground, relatively easy and fairly well signposted along the Trieux. A little less so in the countryside, where the Visorando map was useful. Magnificent sunny day.

The grassy part of the route is lightly used, which may be normal for a hike in early June.

The first part is more interesting than the second, but that's to be expected if you don't want to come back along the same route, as the 'countryside' part is sometimes less attractive than following the Trieux. The route is easy and quite practicable despite the recent rain. GPS useful in places. A pleasant walk

In my opinion, the part of the hike shared with the GR 34 is good.
The rest of the route is less interesting and less frequented.
I agree with the opinions of Flore 13200 and Elies.

Hiking with your dog isn't easy, and given our age (in our seventies) it was an easy hike with a few minor difficulties to spice things up.
We really enjoyed it.
Well done

For my part, I did this loop without any problems and without GPS, the data from visorando being more than sufficient.

I'm well aware that waymarking is not your responsibility.
It was more of a warning.
It was difficult for us to get our bearings with just the description and the map on the sheet for this particular section. It's better to have a GPS just in case for this section.

Thank you Flore13200
Signposting is not essential, as Visorando offers you descriptions and routes based on the IGN map, which are more than enough to guide you.
What's more, we have no control over waymarking.

Nice walk on the first part by the sea. Everything up to the 4th is very well signposted. The return section is more tarmac and less interesting.
However, we took a wrong turn before reaching point 7: the passage between Kerlo and the fountain is rather unclear and there are no signs there. The GPS helped us find our way back.

A walk in the sun with the children. We didn't go all the way round; you can cut the walk in half at the kerloury cove.
The path is very accessible and well signposted.
We'll try to do the whole thing.

A slightly strenuous route, compensated by some magnificent scenery! There is no car park at the Chapelle Kergrist. For a group hike, I parked in the Lédano car park on the banks of the Trieux. This extended the circuit by about 1 km.

A pleasant walk, particularly the part in the undergrowth along the Trieux, which offered pretty landscapes in autumn colours.
