Country:
District:
Access: From the village of Plozévet, follow signs for Poulhan.
The car park is on the left at the Ménez Gored junction on the right and Poulhan on the left.
GR®34signposting: White and red
(S/E) Leave the car park on the right, go around an old, partially renovated fisherman's house and, after the bend, follow the signs to Prat Meur on the right.
(1) Follow the coastal path for about 3 km.
(!): Since the storms of winter 2013-2014, three sections of the coastal path have collapsed. A municipal decree stipulates this and indicates the detours, which I believe will remain permanent. Follow them by looking for theGR® markings. In 2021, the situation has deteriorated further.
Follow the trail with caution as some sections are narrow.
Pass the coves of Poulbréhen and Porzembreval, which also serve as small beaches.
Reach Canté Beach and its old port, go around the "Le Menhir" restaurant on the right and continue along the next beach: viewpoint over the entire coast to the Eckmülh Lighthouse in Penmarch.
Continue on to the Menhir des Droits de l'Homme (Human Rights Menhir).
No markings
(2) Leave theGR® trail continuing south-east. With your back to the menhir, cross the car park and continue straight ahead. At the road, turn left.
(3) Take the first road on the right (signposted Plozévet greenway for bicycles) and continue to the hamlet of Kerongard Nabadez where the small road begins to curve to the left.
(4) At the next crossroads (marked VTT7 on the back), take the wide path opposite between the fields, then at the next VTT sign, turn right to reach Kergolier.
Cross the hamlet, taking Chemin du Lavoir on the left. In the first bend, 10 metres from the road, you will see a rustic fountain and wash house, which are unfortunately not maintained. Continue along this uphill road. At the junction with Rue du Menhir, turn left to reach a stop sign. Continue for a few metres.
(5) Take the second road on the left, Rue du Moulin. Follow this downhill road and note an old windmill on the left that has been converted into a house.
Pass the first street lined with a small avenue of plane trees on your right, then turn right at the next street (no entry sign except for residents). In the first bend, you will see an old fountain and a wash house, then continue to the next crossroads where there is a small calvary on your right.
Turn left, ignore a street on the left and at the three-way junction, turn left.
(6) Leave the street in front of you (dead end sign) and take a wide path, keeping to the right. This path runs alongside large houses and leads to the road to Poulhan.
(7) Turn right, go up for about 20 metres, then turn slightly left into Hent Ménez Kergoff. Ignore the small streets on the left and right to reach a grassy area where you will find the second fountain and its wash house. Unfortunately, its maintenance also leaves something to be desired. A bench invites you to take a break with a view of the sea. Then continue along this road which goes uphill.
(8) Turn left onto the small road that leads to Kervouéret. Turn left onto a descending path that winds through meadows where you can see magnificent horses. Look for a fountain and a rustic wash house on your right (not marked on the IGN map and saved from oblivion by a volunteer neighbour) and continue to a junction of paths.
(9) Turn left and walk along a large property that occupies the valley. You will notice its high wooden fence. Follow this grassy path downhill, which will turn left. Ignore the path that branches off to the left and turn right.
(10) Reach the small Rue Hent Ty Glaz, continue downhill via Hent ar Gored on the right.
You will come out onto Route de Poulhan. Follow it to the right and head for the car park on the left facing the sea (S/E).
and at low tide, which allowed us to take the beach when the GR was no longer accessible by the sea due to rockfalls. Being on the beach, often on rocky outcrops, we were able to admire the sea's erosion of the cliffs. And it will continue! So this is a walk to do at low tide
that the customs path has been so badly damaged by coastal erosion!
