Description of the walk

Departure: car park at the covered walkway in Lesconil (Poullan-sur-Mer).
Partially marked with yellow signs.

(S/E) From the car park, follow the signs to visit the covered walkway and return to the car park to take the road on the right. At the first intersection, turn left towards Lestrivin. Once you have passed the hamlet, turn left onto a wide path leading to a house, then continue along this small path until you reach a road.

(1) Turn right and continue to join the Douarnenez road, which you follow, with caution, on the left for about 250 metres. At the Keraël housing estate, take a path on the right that leads to the sewage treatment plant.

(2) The path goes around the lagooning station and continues through a wooded area. When you reach the Kérinec road, turn right and then a little further on, turn left at the sign for Chapelle Saint-They.

(3) Continue straight ahead down the road to the chapel: an ideal spot for a break in beautiful green surroundings.

(4) The path (marked in yellow) continues past the fountain and through a wooded area. This wide path leads to Kerroué, which you go around on the right to rejoin the Kérinec road.

(5) Follow it to the right until you reach the junction with the Poullan road at a place called Toul an Drez.

(6) Turn left for about 300 m (take care, especially in summer) and take the path on the right. Continue along this wide country lane.

(7) At the junction with several paths, turn left and continue straight ahead, ignoring the other options.

(8) Just before reaching a small road, the path turns right (signposted "entre terre et mer" route). The path descends towards meadows, then climbs slightly to reach a small road. Turn left to return to the car park, crossing the village of Lesconil (S/E).

A pleasant hike during this week in August when there are far too many people everywhere! We were alone! And the forest brought us some coolness.

A very beautiful walk! Along paths that are sometimes unexpected!
Be careful when crossing roads, however. In particular, the section on the main road after Point 6. It's short, but cars drive very fast. We did this route in September when there was little traffic. It could be dangerous in the height of summer.

Thank you for your kind words.
It gave me the opportunity to revisit this hike and update its somewhat outdated description.
On my page, you will find another route starting from the same place, which heads towards the coastal path.

All the best on Visorando!

A very interesting route with some wonderful discoveries...
Well done to Mr. Floch for the impeccable route
as it follows many yellow markings!
Between points 4 and 5, you come across the PR route
"From the white rocks to Port Rhu"
So I added it to my itinerary...
Magnificent!
By the way: don't forget to take a look at the covered walkway at the start.

Thank you for your comment.
You can never be too prepared: the description and the map complement each other.
When I guide my walking group, even on hikes that I have described myself, I take both documents with me.
Sometimes I need to refer to them when my hike was a while ago: memory can be unreliable.

It's a shame about the chapel; I like it in its green setting.
To be redone, as you said.

All the best on Visorando

Well, I got lost. I didn't have a map, which will teach me. I missed the turn before Saint They Chapel... so I ended up going past it.

What a shame. I'll have to do it again.

An interesting inland route. People tend to stay on the coast.
