Description of the walk

Parking at the town hall in Poullan-sur-Mer.

Yellow signposts.

(S/E) From the car park, head towards the sea (north) along Rue de Tal ar C'hef.
At the first street, turn right onto Allée du Pontigou, then take the first left onto Route de Kernévez.

(1) Turn left to cross a green space that leads to the old railway station road, which you take on the right.

(2) At the first crossroads, turn left onto the wide farm track. Follow this wide track until you reach a road.

There are no signposts.

(3) Turn right onto a path which, turning left, crosses the hamlet of Kermenhir. At the end, at the second paved section, follow a road for a few metres to the right and turn left for a return trip along a grassy path. An old landmark serves as a reference point. The menhir is located on your right near the landmark.

(4) Turn around and return to the road, which you follow to the left

(5) Turn left at a right angle at the next sign for Veillanec. At the farm, leave the road that ends in the courtyard on your right and continue straight ahead, passing the entrance to a property, until you see a discreet path on your left that descends towards theGR®34coastal path.

GR® signposting( white and red)

(6) Follow this path westwards. Pass the Pointe de la Jument.

(7) Follow a series of coves along the top of the cliff to arrive in a hollow valley at Porz Meilh (Port du Moulin in Breton).

(8). Continue along the coastal path heading west, from rocky points to small sandy coves.

Unmarked

(9) When you see Pointe du Millier, recognisable by its lighthouse, and the Linguer signpost, leave the coastal path and climb up to the left along a path that joins a track at a car park. Turn left then right to reach Le Linguer, which you go around on the right.

Yellow and mountain bike markings.

(10) Continue along the road to Pennarun.
In a bend, at the exit of the farm, a dirt track leads to Livroac'h. Do not go to the hamlet but turn right to reach a road.

(11) Follow it to the left for about 50 metres and take a farm track that branches off to the right and turns several times to the left and right before coming out onto a road.

(12) Cross a road, follow the path opposite (thePR® route is no longer accurate) and at the end turn right onto the street. Follow the football field with large silos on your left. At the crossroads, turn right.

Mountain bike signposting.

Take a path on the left (sign) and follow it between the fields.

(13) Turn left to cross the D7 with caution. Turn left into the second street that joins the D7 and go straight ahead.
At the second street, continue straight ahead for about 100 metres until you reach the old Kervénargant manor house (16th century, a beautiful residence but in poor condition.

(14) Retrace your steps and turn right. Continue straight ahead, pass the school and
turn left to go around the church and reach the town hall car park (S/E).

Notes

The coastal path requires a good pair of walking shoes.
The part of the route along the coast can be challenging as the path climbs and descends continuously.

On 29/09/2025, I did this route. The seaside is reserved for experienced hikers with good footwear.
I left before point 9 to return to Livroac'h because of the time it had taken since the start.
Out of season, the route is mainly used by runners. Don't be afraid of heights!

We had a beautiful day. Perhaps a little too hot, but the light and scenery were breathtaking.
A magnificent hike! Highly recommended!

Very pleasant, not too difficult. Made in winter, a little slippery at a stream crossing. Curiosity to see around, the rocks in the shape of a boat, the mill in activity.

On a sunny day, a beautiful stretch of coastal path with views over the Crozon peninsula and Cap de la Chèvre! No problem doing it, although depending on the season, like here, some of the coastal sections are quite slippery, otherwise very pleasant with the endless view and the waves/rocky areas. The off-coast sections are less interesting, so you can shorten the route in places. The few points of interest off the coast: Menhir ok, but the manor house at the end, neutral opinion.

Thank you for your opinion.
I'd even go so far as to say that flip-flops should be avoided all year round on this coastal path.

very nice walk with fewer people than on the Crozon peninsula, so wilder. Probably the best of the week....(of the 6 I did)

Hello
I agree with the previous comments.
I would add that the GR34 section is not recommended for people who suffer from vertigo.
I love this route both in April, for the rebirth of the flowers and the tranquillity, and in November, for the brightness of the lights.
The off-route section is very calming.
Thank you very much.

A fine hike, but a fairly strenuous one. Hiking poles come in handy at times. Lovely views along the coast, even more so in fine weather. The slopes are covered in ferns as far as the eye can see.
