Departure from the Hermine lodge, opposite the Saint-Hernot chapel.
Yellow markings
(S) With your back to the lodge, follow the small road to the left and descend very slightly. Cross the hamlet of Kerdreux (beautiful houses) and ignore a lane on the left despite its markings (twoPR® trails intersect here). At the end of the tarmac road, continue along a path between two hedges.
No markings
(1) Take thefirst path on the right, towards the dolmen. You will reach it quickly (small collapsed dolmen). Go past the dolmen and immediately turn left at an acute angle. Ignore thefirst path on the right and continue to asecond intersection (signposted "Dunes de Kerdreux"; old wash house). Then turn left.
Yellow markings + mountain bike signs
(2) At a three-way junction, take the shaded path on the right, which is closed to motor vehicles. At the T-junction, follow the wide grassy path on the right through open terrain.
Red and white markings
(3) At the next intersection, continue straight ahead along the coastal path towards Cap de la Chèvre and rejoin theGR®34. At the various intersections, take the path on the right, unless a rope blocks access, in order to stay as close as possible to the edge of the cliff. Alternate between short ascents and descents and admire the superb panoramic views of the rugged coastline.
(4) At an intersection, a rope blocks the original path (red and white cross). Turn left and keep heading south-east (follow the markings and ropes). When you reach a wider path, turn right (south-west), descend and then climb back up.
(5) At an intersection, turn left and climb a steep, ravined slope. Then climb more gently and walk on flat ground through a moorland landscape, ignoring all paths on the left. Further on, follow a rope on the right-hand side. At a fork, turn right and walk between two ropes. Then pass between a small bunker and a small "field" of cairns to reach Cap de la Chèvre.
(6) Leave the memorial to Breton sailors who died for France on your left, then the semaphore. Continue along the coastal path lined with a rope on the right-hand side, ignore a path on the left and descend. Then stay on the hillside. At a T-junction, turn right. Stay on the main path through the moorland. Further on, follow a winding descent. Then ignore a path on the left (elevation 52, old wash house) and climb back up.
(7) At an intersection, turn right towards Morgat and descend. Then follow a path along the hillside, descending and ascending. Ignore a path on the left and descend towards a pine forest. Wind your way through the pine forest, alternating between short ascents and descents and flat sections. Pass a few isolated houses on the left and, at a T-junction, turn right.
(8) Pass Pointe du Dolmen (sign) and you will find yourself on open ground. Descend, pass an old wash house and climb back up. Further on, pass Pointe de Rostudel (sign) and continue on fairly flat ground in a shaded area, ignoring the paths branching off to the sides. Then descend in zigzags towards Île de la Vierge or Pointe de Saint-Hernot, which is off-limits (ropes).
(9) Head back up along the coastal path. Ignore a path on the left towards Saint-Hernot and continue towards Morgat. Descend (steps, ropes), cross a stream and climb a steep but shaded slope. Then climb more gently across open terrain.
(10) Leave the Grande Roche promontory on your right (sign) and continue on fairly flat ground under pine trees for about 500 m.
No markings
(11) On a flat, well-shaded section, turn left onto a well-marked path that is not shown on the map. This leads to a perpendicular path, which you should follow to the left. The path descends gently and takes a circular turn to the right, ending at a T-junction.
Yellow markings
(12) Turn left. The path quickly leads to a long line of small menhirs.
No markings
(13) Then take thefirst path on the right. At the end, join a wide path and follow it to the right (east-northeast).
Yellow markings
(14) At the crossroads, continue straight ahead on the wide, shaded path, passing a house on your left. Continue along a small road. At the crossroads (elevation 78), turn right onto Allée du Bois de Quenvel. At the next crossroads (elevation 86), turn left onto a wide path. At the next crossroads, go through a forest gate and continue straight ahead. Go through a second gate and you will come to a crossroads.
Red and white markings
(15) Continue straight ahead and rejoin theGR®34. Pass a small lighthouse on your right, go through a forest gate and immediately turn right. Descend the winding coastal path (ropes). Then walk along the hillside and pass the remains of small buildings. Climb slightly and walk alongside an old fort on your left. At a T-junction, turn right and descend. At a fork, keep left on the main path.
(16) At the end, follow a small road downhill to the right. At a hairpin bend to the right, leave the road and go down a staircase on the left. Then take the road that runs along Morgat Beach to your accommodation (E).
