From Brillac to Pointe du Logéo

A short round trip on the Tour du Golfe du Morbihan (TGM), from Brillac to Pointe du Logéo in the municipality of Sarzeau. Magnificent views of the southern part of the gulf: the islands of Brannec, Govihan and Stibiden in the foreground, and Île-aux-Moines and Île d’Arz in the background. Swimming is possible in the summer months, particularly in Anse du Logéo. The coastline is mainly muddy along the route, but there are a few beaches. In winter, there are plenty of birds to spot.

Description of the walk

A small car park is available near the Brillac picnic area. In the summer months, particularly from mid-July to mid-August, the car park can fill up quickly as the walk is very popular. If necessary, a larger car park is available near the other picnic area, close to the Pont du Lindin, at point (1).

(S/E) Take the coastal path, marked GR®34, immediately on the right from Rue Saint-Maur. Follow it to the Pont de Lindin, passing the other picnic area.

(1) Cross the bridge and rejoin the path immediately on the right towards Pointe de Bréhuidic. The path runs along the water’s edge before joining a road.

(2) At the end of the road, turn left (west) at Bréhuidic Beach. The headland is private property. The well-marked path follows the coast and joins the large Anse de Logéo (car park).

(3) Follow the entire length of this cove, which is very well laid out for walking. At Port du Logéo, veer slightly off the signposted path to reach the end of the harbour. Then rejoin the path via a flight of steps. Continue towards the headland.

(4) Continue westwards. The path passes an oyster farm where tastings are available. Continue to the junction with Impasse de la Pointe du Logéo.

(5) At this junction, you can turn back to see the headland again or take the Impasse de la Pointe du Logéo as shown on the map. You will then reach the harbour and, following the route in reverse, return to the Brillac picnic area (S/E).

Notes

Be aware of high tides, especially in rough weather, as parts of the path may be submerged. Check tide times and tidal ranges before setting off! From November to April, after rain, several sections of the path are very muddy.

There are several spots with public toilets and taps for filling water bottles: in the car park near the Pont du Lindin, in at least one of the car parks at Anse du Logéo (3) and at Port du Logéo.

Near the Pointe du Logéo, there are two oyster farms offering tastings (in season). Similarly, there are several businesses open in season at the Port du Logéo (restaurants, water sports such as kayaking, and more).

Worth a visit

Port du Logéo is a very pleasant spot with a few information boards on the area’s history and a range of activities available during the tourist season. Throughout the route, take your time to admire the scenery, particularly the light at sunrise and sunset.
