Start from the Hermine lodge, opposite Saint-Hernot Chapel.
Yellow markings
(S) With your back to the lodge, follow the small road to the left and head down a very gentle slope. Walk through the hamlet of Kerdreux (beautiful houses) and ignore a small lane on the left despite its markings (twoPR®® routes cross here). At the end of the tarmac, continue along a path between two hedges.
No markings
(1) Take thefirst path on the right, towards the dolmen. You’ll reach it quickly (a small, collapsed dolmen). Go past the dolmen and turn immediately left at a sharp angle. Ignore thefirst path branching off to the right and reach asecond junction (sign for “Dunes de Kerdreux”; old wash house). Then turn left.
Yellow markings + mountain bike signs
(2) At a three-way junction, take the right-hand path, a shaded track closed to motor vehicles. At the T-junction, follow the wide grassy path to the right across open ground.
Red and white markings
(3) At the next junction, follow the coastal path straight on towards Cap de la Chèvre and rejoin theGR®®34. At the various junctions, take the path on the right, unless a rope blocks access, to stay as close as possible to the cliff edge. Alternate between short ascents and descents and admire the superb panoramic views of the rugged coastline.
(4) At a junction, a rope blocks the original path (Red Cross and White Cross). Turn left and head south-east (follow the markings and ropes). When you reach a wider path, turn right (south-west), go downhill and then uphill.
(5) At a junction, turn left and climb a steep, gullied slope. Then climb more gently and walk along flat ground through heathland, ignoring all paths branching off to 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) Pass the memorial to the Breton sailors who died for France on your left, followed by the semaphore station. Continue along the coastal path bordered by a rope on the right-hand side, ignore a path branching off to the left and head downhill. Then continue along the hillside. At a T-junction, turn right. Stay on the main path, across the moorland. Further on, follow a winding descent. Then ignore a path branching off to the left (marker 52, old wash house) and head back uphill.
(7) At a junction, turn right towards Morgat and head downhill. Then follow a section along the hillside, a descent and an ascent. Ignore a path branching off to the left and head downhill 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 the Pointe du Dolmen (sign) and come out onto open ground. Descend, pass an old wash house and climb back up. Further on, pass Pointe de Rostudel (signpost) and continue on roughly level ground in the shade, ignoring the paths branching off to the sides. Then descend in hairpin bends towards Île de la Vierge or Pointe de Saint-Hernot, which is off-limits (rope barriers).
(9) Head back up along the coastal path. Ignore a path branching off to 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 through open terrain.
(10) Pass the Grande Roche headland on your right (signpost) and continue on roughly level ground through a pine forest for about 500 m.
No signposting
(11) On a flat, well-shaded stretch, turn left onto a well-marked path not shown on the map. Come out onto a perpendicular path and follow it to the left. The path descends gently and takes a circular course to the right, ending at a T-junction.
Yellow markings
(12) Turn left here. The path soon leads to a long row of small standing stones.
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 junction, continue straight on along the wide, shaded path, passing a house on your left. Continue along a small road. At the junction (marker 78), turn right onto Allée du Bois de Quenvel. At the next junction (marker 86), turn left onto a wide path. At the next junction, go through a forest gate and continue straight on. Go through a second gate and arrive at a junction.
Red and white markings
(15) Go straight on and rejoin theGR®®34. Pass a small lighthouse on the right, go through a forest gate and turn immediately 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 the left. At a T-junction, turn right and head downhill. 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 flight of steps on the left. Then take the road that runs alongside Morgat Beach to your accommodation (E).
