Route via the Notre-Dame-du-Val Chapel in Trébabu

Starting point: Place de l’Église in Trébabu.
At the start or finish, take the time to visit the cemetery, where you’ll notice the coats of arms on the graves of several noble families.

Yellow markings, few and far between and very faint

(S/E) Leave this pretty little village, adorned with flowers, behind you and head back up the road you arrived on. On the right, you’ll notice a small, well-maintained wash house.

No markings

(1) After the sign marking the village exit, turn right at the stop sign and take a cycle path that runs alongside the D67 towards Le Conquet. Just before the end of this path, you can see a manor farm on the left, flanked by a tall, square defensive tower.

(2) At the end of the cycle path (cross on the left), turn right (signposted ‘Syndicat des Eaux de Kermorvan’) and follow the wide, tree-lined path. It ends with a flight of concrete steps before joining a road. Cross carefully and follow the road for 50 m.

Yellow markings, few and very faint

(3) Turn left into a car park, continue along the path through the Bois de Lanfeust and follow the edge of the Ria du Conquet.

(4) When the path approaches the ria, turn right at a house (no. 27), go through a gate and continue along this wide path through the maritime pine forest.
Walk past ‘Village de Kerber’, the premises of a holiday camp, then turn left to walk past a water tower.
At the next three-way junction, carry on straight ahead, then turn left at a ‘dead end’ sign. Be sure to take the first path that crosses a dune area.

(5) At the road leading to Pointe de Kermorvan, turn left, cross at the pedestrian crossing and, in the car park, follow the sign for ‘Départ route 13’. This west-facing path joins the coastal path at Blancs Sablons Beach. Beautiful view of the Kermorvan peninsula.

GR34: marked with red and white signs.

(6) Take the^GR® which heads northwards and follow it until it leaves the coast to go round a private property.

(7) Cross a road and take the wide, carriageable track opposite, marked with yellow signpost no. 15.

Yellow markings

Follow this wide track, which passes near Kervillou (a farm contracting firm). The path becomes a small road that bends left then right.

(8) At a place called Gorem ar Prat (not shown on the IGN map), ignore the yellow markings heading left and carry on straight ahead.

No markings

Carry on straight ahead along the ascending road until you reach the D28, then cross it.

Yellow markings

Carry on straight ahead along the wide path that runs through the fields. When you reach a road, turn left then right (signposted ‘Toaré / Milin Toaré’ on the map) and begin a steep descent. As you approach the Kerléo Mill and the chapel, leave the yellow markings, which head off to the left.

No markings

(9) Begin the climb which passes close to the old mill, now converted into a dwelling, and reach the 16th-century Notre-Dame-du-Val or Traon Chapel, a pleasant spot featuring a garden laid out by a team of volunteers. Continue uphill and, at the next three-way junction, turn right. Pass close to the dairy farm of Métairie, where you can see an old dovecote, and carry on, noting an old wayside cross with its altar of repose at the bend. Return to the village of Trébabu and its parish church, rebuilt in 1787 (S/E).

The section of the^GR®34along the coastal path requires constant vigilance.
Walking boots are recommended for this section of the trail.
