(S/E) From the car park, follow the quay towards the sea (south-west). At the end of the quay, before the shipyard, head into the enclosure from which you can see the port’s first two lighthouses, the first built in 1871 and the second in 1902.
Turn left, walk along the top of the beach and continue along Rue de la Pointe then Rue Jean Jaurès, reaching Rue de l’Océan. At Rue Parc Morvan, turn right to follow a path along the seafront. Walk past Pors Treillen. On your left, you will see the Léhan marsh with its menhir.
(1) At this point, descend the dune via the designated path and head towards the information panel about the menhir. A narrow track can be made out through the vegetation, allowing you to get as close as possible to the menhir.
This path is not always passable as it depends on the water level in the marsh. Then retrace your steps and climb back up the dune.
Continue along the path running along the base of the dune ridge bordering Léhan Beach, leaving thePR®® (Yellow) on your left and continuing along Squividan Beach.
PR®®: marked in yellow
(2) After a car park area, at the barrier, leave theGR®®34and turn left, following thePR®® markings (Route des Menhirs) which climb up a grassy path. You’ll reach a road shortly after Kervai.
(3) Turn left onto a sunken path to reach the hamlet of Le Reun (on your right, the wash house and fountain of Kerantoën). In front of you stands a 6-metre-high menhir (note also the cup marks in the rock). The menhir leans slightly to the left.
(4) Return and continue along the road to the left. At Kerantoine, turn right onto the road and a little further on, at the cypress tree, turn left onto the dirt track, then immediately turn left again to reach Squividan. At the Route du Grand Large, turn right and continue to the sports ground, where you leave the road to the left.
(5) Follow this grassy path, which continues as Rue des Bruyères. At a cluster of cypress trees, leave the street and turn left onto a grassy path leading to the Chapelle Saint Fiacre. Cross the road and then enter the fenced area of land surrounding the Breton chapels. Walk round the chapel on the left to see the fountain on the east gable.
(6) Continue along the grassy path, with your back to the bell tower. Go up the small road on the right. At the junction, turn left and follow this small road. At the first crossroads, go down Rue des Lavandières on the left. Cross the small stream and continue left along Rue des Dentelières.

(7) Turn right at the first street (Rue du Stade), walk alongside the galochodrome (a pitch for a local game: galoche).
(8) At the junction with Rue de Lehan, turn left. Walk down this street and then take the first street on the right (Rue Joliot Curie).
(9) At the second junction, turn right then left to walk past the church. At the end of the street, turn right and then, 50 metres further on, turn left into Rue Pouldu, which leads to the quay, the starting point of the route (S/E).
