Superb circuit, magnificent landscapes along the GR34, a little less along the roads but it allows you to make a loop.

A superb walk, mostly by the sea or ria. Turquoise waters, pine trees leaning over the water, you can understand the painters and their Japanese inspiration. It's an easy walk with no change in altitude.
Of course, the inland section is less interesting, but you have to come full circle.

parish specific to Brittany. If you can leave a car at the finish, it's best to make a one-way trip from Cabellou to Corn Pao beach. Cut the GR 34 slightly when it follows the coast of a peninsula (Pouldohan, for example). Much less crowded than between Beg Meil and Cap Coz.
