(6) Turn left onto Chemin du Dolmen. At the end, turn left onto the path to see the Merdy covered walkway.

(8) Go up Rue du Rhun, which descends to Anse du Ouern. Walk along this cove on the left, following Rue du Gouern.

A very beautiful walk, which can also be done in the opposite direction (see the short walks guide), with very good signposting. The second part of the route, through the countryside and built-up areas, is slightly less interesting but easier, although the covered walkway is quite surprising.

The circular route is easy to complete. There is a short section on a very muddy botanical trail. There are few vehicles on the roads. The GR34 section is very pleasant.

Thank you for both of your opinions.
It's difficult to answer because I haven't tried it (I discovered it during a holiday).
In terms of difficulty, it shouldn't make much difference.
Kind regards

Hello,

The first part along the Trieux is magnificent, but the second part, which returns through the countryside, has too many tarmac roads, even though they are not very busy! I would like to ask the person who posted this hike: if you do it the other way round, i.e. the countryside first and then return via the Trieux, does that leave a better impression? Is it more difficult the other way round? Thank you.

Pleasant, a bit tiring on the slopes with steps for some.
No problems tracking with GPS.

Thank you for your message.
I have tried to clarify my description.
It's true that it's not always easy to distinguish between a road and a path on a printed sheet.
It is the role of the description to clarify this, but sometimes we can lack a little rigour.

Best regards and good luck with Visorando.

We followed yellow markings on the right when we arrived in the village of Le Cleuziat, thinking that this was the continuation of the hike (a moment of inattention...), but you should stay on the road: crossing Le Cleuziat seems more appropriate to me.
It can sometimes be difficult to tell from the map (if printed) whether you are on a road or a path.

Thank you for your opinion.

There is a small error when arriving in the village of Le Cleuziat.
Perhaps you could reach Le Cleuziat via the Cleuziat crossing instead of "via Rue de Gélard"?

Best regards

A magnificent route that we were lucky enough to cycle under beautiful sunshine... Most of it is shaded by magnificent trees (huge pines and beeches)... Even the section further inland is well worth seeing for its panoramic views...

A beautiful trip taken at the end of August in the morning at high tide. The light on the estuary and the Trieux valley was incomparable.
You can take a short break near the Glénans sailing centre to watch the maritime activity on the river.
The return trip via the plateau is more rural but pleasant. Good yellow markings.
We really enjoyed the end of the walk along the Guen cove and the arrival at the port of Loquivy.
The whole walk took us 2½ hours (including a break of about 15 minutes).
I highly recommend this magnificent walk.

A lovely walk at the start and along the estuary afterwards. Without GPS or smartphones, we used the downloaded map but took a wrong turn at point 3.
To be done in good weather.

A very pretty route which, despite running along the sheltered Trieux river, offers constant views of the river mouth, which I personally find magnificent.
The return route is less interesting, but it is far from unpleasant and allows you to admire the pretty houses and superb farmhouses that line the path. And the "covered walkway" for those who are interested...
Please note! The stairs that punctuate the first third of the route can be challenging for those with limited mobility.
