Start from the Hermine Lodge, opposite the Saint-Hernot chapel.
Yellow signposting
(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 (with its beautiful houses) and ignore a side street on the left despite its signposting (twoPR®® trails cross here). At the end of the tarmac road, continue along a path between two hedges.
No signposting
(1) Take the first path on the right, towards the dolmen. You’ll reach it quickly (a small, collapsed dolmen). Walk past the dolmen and turn sharply left straight away. Ignore the first path branching off to the right and continue to a second junction (sign for ‘Dunes de Kerdreux’; old wash house). Then turn left.
Yellow markings + mountain bike signposting
(2) At a three-way junction, turn right onto a shaded path closed to motorised vehicles. At the T-junction, follow a wide grassy path to the right across open ground.
Red and white markings
(3) At the next junction, continue straight on along the coastal path 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 whilst admiring 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 here and head south-east (follow the markings and ropes). When you reach a wider path, turn right (south-west), go downhill and then back uphill.
(5) At a junction, turn left and climb a steep, gully-like slope. Then climb more gently before walking on level ground through heathland, ignoring all offshoots to the left. Further on, walk alongside a rope on the right-hand side. At a fork in the road, veer 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, which is 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. The route then follows a stretch along the hillside, followed by a descent and an ascent. Ignore a path branching off to the left and head downhill towards a pine copse. Wind your way through the pine copse, alternating between short ascents, 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 emerge onto open ground. Head downhill, pass an old wash house and head back uphill. Further on, pass the Pointe de Rostudel (signposted) and walk on fairly level ground in the shade, ignoring the paths branching off to the sides. Then descend in hairpin bends towards the 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 branching off to the left towards Saint-Hernot and continue towards Morgat. Descend (steps, safety ropes), cross a stream and climb a steep but shaded section. 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.
Unmarked
(11) On a flat, well-shaded stretch, turn left onto a well-marked path which is not shown on the map. You’ll come out onto a path running at right angles to it; follow this 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 menhirs.
No markings
(13) Then take the first path on the right. At the end, join a wide path and follow it to the right (east-north-east).
Yellow markings
(14) At the junction, carry on straight ahead along the wide, shaded path, passing a house on your left. Continue along a small road. At the junction (marker 78), turn right onto the 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 you’ll come to a junction.
Red and white markings
(15) Go straight on and rejoin theGR®®34. Pass a small lighthouse on the right-hand side, go through a forest gate and turn immediately right. Wind your way down the coastal path (with safety ropes). Then walk along the hillside, passing the remains of some small buildings. Climb slightly and walk alongside an old fort on your left. At a T-junction, turn right and head downhill. At a fork in the road, keep left onto 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).
