(S/E) Car park at the Chapelle de Tronoën or Tronoan in Saint-Jean-Trolimon.
Yellow markings
From the car park, cross the road to admire this chapel and its famous calvary, considered to be the oldest in Brittany.
Then take the road on the right heading south. Ignore thePR®® which branches off to the right and continue to the next junction.
No markings
(1) At the first road, turn left (signposted Chapelle Beuzec) and follow this road.
(2) After passing two imposing houses on the left,
turn right and follow the path between the fields to visit the menhir visible through a hedge. Turn back and continue right along this road to reach Beuzec Chapel and its calvary.
::3: Walk around the enclosure to admire this renovated chapel. Exit, take the road opposite heading east, pass a cross and arrive at a junction.
(4) Turn right towards Kerégard Vraz, cross the hamlet and continue straight on to reach Keregou.
(5) Turn right. The T-shaped Kerugou Dolmen is situated on the left on a small hillock. Join a road and follow it to the left
Yellow markings andGR®®34H (Red and White)
(6) Turn right onto the wide marked path and continue south-west. The path runs alongside fields where bulbous perennials are grown (tulips, irises, hyacinths, grape hyacinths, etc., in bloom from April). Cross a road and look out for the sheds of SARL Kaandorp, a flower grower, on your left.
Continue straight ahead, cross another road and walk past the water reservoirs for field irrigation on your left. You will come to a house.
Off the marked route
(7) At the house, turn left onto a track and follow it to a road. Turn right to cross a car park and head towards the sea, following the paths across the dune.
(8) At a memorial stone commemorating 15 young people murdered in July 1944, reach the sea via a path through the dune. You are now on the large beach of Audierne Bay. To your left is the famous Pointe de la Torche. Turn right and walk along the dune. Pass a wide gap carved out by storms and climb back up the dune via a path at the end of the wooden stakes.
(9) From the top of the dune, go straight on to reach the wide path set back from the dune massif, which you will take on the left.
Yellow markings andGR®®34(Red and White)
Please note, these markings are scarce: stay on the main path. Signs urge you to stay on the paths to avoid trampling and to respect the dune, a nesting site for many birds.
(10) As you catch sight of houses on the right, a signpost invites you to turn right and go round them. Follow theGR®® which turns right towards Pen ar Vouëz then left to reach a road. Cross this road and continue straight ahead (no entry sign, no residents). Pass two houses on the left. After the second one, turn right then left.
(11) At a sandy bend, turn right towards the east along a small grassy path on the dune. Take care here as there is no sign indicating you need to turn. TheGR®®34, a wider path, continues straight ahead.
Yellow markings
Follow this path and shortly afterwards you will find the first yellow marker. Continue to the road, cross it and take the path towards Kervellec Vian (Kerveltré on the map). The route on the map is no longer very accurate as the path is directly opposite.
(12) Follow this path, turn right and continue straight on to the hamlet of Kerveltré, where you turn right.
(13) Look out for a small rustic fountain on your right here, which deserves to be showcased. Continue along the wide path which leads to the road. Turn left to reach the car park; keep the chapel in your sights.
If you didn’t do so at the start, take the time to admire this chapel (known as ‘the cathedral of the dunes’) and examine the various friezes on the calvary (S/E).
