A very beautiful route with varied landscapes (forest paths, woods, roads, beaches). Unfortunately, we couldn't take the beach route because the tide was coming in quickly (check the tide times before setting off, which we didn't do). Thanks to the map provided and the Visorando description, we were able to continue along the country road.
We'll do it again in the spring, taking the tides into account 😀

It is not possible to pass between point 10 and point 11. The path is narrow, full of nettles and comes to a natural end, with vegetation having reclaimed the area. You therefore have to turn back, as there is no other way to continue, and it is very unpleasant to go back through the nettles and brambles. Hike completed on 05/08/2025

Hello, I completed the hike from the starting point to point 6 and returned to point 1 via the coast. It was a beautiful walk between land and sea, and the explanations were very good.
I missed a turn at the entrance to the woods but ended up back on the trail without any problems because the GR signs are clear and very helpful.
There's a magnificent church to see at the start, which I recommend visiting. Allow 15 to 30 minutes for the visit as there's so much to see, and bring some coins to support the heritage site.
Enjoy your hike!
