Park in the Kervastard car park near the Saint-Guénolé Chapel in Beg Meil, which is part of the municipality of Fouesnant.
(S/E) Turn right onto Rue Chemin de Kervastard and follow it to the right until you reach Rue des Glénan, where the Hôtel de la Plage once stood – the hotel where Proust stayed during the summer of 1895. Turn right, go round a roundabout and you’ll come to a fork in the road.
(1) Head down to the left to reach the jetty, from where there is a view of Pointe de Bel-Meil. Retrace your steps and turn left at the first street near the Agrocampus site, formerly the Hôtel Fermon, a holiday destination for Proust and his musician companion. Pass a cul-de-sac on the left and arrive at a fork in the road.
(2) Turn left into the cul-de-sac and continue on to the seafront.
(3) Turn right and follow the coastal path which runs alongside Liorz Vraw Cove and Plage des Oiseaux.
Continue along the path that has been re-laid between the properties, passing the large fallen menhir which was toppled by the Germans during the last war for fear that it might serve as a landmark. Try to spot the old stone boundary markers engraved with a ship’s anchor – these markers demarcate the military land belonging to the navy – and head towards the semaphore station, which is easily recognisable by its red and white pylon.
(4) Continue along the coastal path overlooking Plage des Dunes until you reach the access point to the beach at a car park.
(5) Turn right onto Rue Chemin Creux, heading due north, and carry on to the junction you passed on the way out.
(2) Carry on straight ahead, then turn left up Rue de la Cale – the road you took on the way there – and arrive at Route des Dunes.
(1) Turn left, follow this road until the first right, go round the Église Saint-Guénolé and return to the car park (S/E).
