Description of the walk

Start from one of the car parks at Tournemine Beach.

(S/E) Start the walk by crossing Tournemine, then take the customs officers' path (marked in white and red) on the right as you leave the hamlet towards Pordic. The path runs along the coast and passes above the Pointe de Pordic.

(1) When you reach the car park at Petit Havre beach, turn right for a few metres before turning left onto the customs officers' path overlooking the beach. Continue to Pointe de Bréhin.

(2) Coming down from the point, turn onto the path on the left. A sign indicates "route du Vaumadec". The path runs alongside the stream and climbs slowly and steadily. Stay at the bottom of the valley.

(3) Cross the stream and continue following it on the other bank. The path eventually climbs more steeply. Take the path on the left just after a hairpin bend. Surrounded by private properties, it leads to the village of Pordic.

(4) Cross Rue Pierre Loti and follow the path that branches off to the right. This path leads to a pond, which you follow for a few metres before turning onto the first path on the left.

(5) The path enters a housing estate. Turn left onto Rue Boileau, which is a no-entry road, then left again onto Rue de la Fosse Argent.

(6) At the first crossroads, turn right towards Ville Meno.

(7) At the crossroads, continue along the road opposite, then take the farm track that goes straight ahead.

(8) Leaving the village of Ville Guy, turn left onto the first path that crosses between two fields and enters the woods. The path follows a stream at the bottom of a valley.

(9) At the fork, turn left to reach Tournemine (S/E).

A very beautiful walk, especially the coastal path section, completed in overcast weather using the GPX track.
Some sections require caution, especially on the descent at point 2, and the slight incline masks a series of ups and downs that hurt your legs after a while. As mentioned in other reviews, you need to wear good walking shoes.
Quite a few people for the season (a few joggers, two or three hikers... and a friendly squirrel).

Hike completed on a Wednesday in September in mixed weather with sunny spells and windy conditions.
The scenery is magnificent and breathtaking along the coast, and the rest of the route, which runs partly through forest alongside a small stream, is very pleasant. Good walking shoes are essential on certain sections of the coastal path, especially as there are numerous ascents and descents, which can make it feel more difficult. For my part, I completed the route in 2 hours and 25 minutes and only used the GPS track on my phone, which works very well in this area.
I met hikers and runners along the way, and it is possible that this coastal path is very busy at weekends.
The sight of windsurfers and horse riders on the beach near the sailing school is the perfect way to end the experience.

A very pleasant walk along the coast (Sentier des douaniers) with a few tricky sections covered in stones and roots. Walking shoes are essential. Best enjoyed in good weather for maximum enjoyment

A beautiful circular route, partly along the coastal GR trail. On the advice of a local, we took a different route, leaving Pordic via Rue de la Fosse d'Argent, then turning left onto Rue du Moulin à Vent, followed by a path passing a large antenna to Rue des Bignons on the right, joining the coastal GR trail and descending to Tournemine.

the entire seaside section is really pleasant, especially when the weather is nice and there is no wind. The scenery is magnificent, with views of the sea and beaches. You can even see the wind farm. The section at the bottom of the valley is less impressive but still enjoyable in short, it's a beautiful hike, with a few slightly "technical" sections towards point No. 2, with rocks on the descent and several possible paths. You just need to be careful. There are several benches where you can enjoy the sea view and even a picnic table almost at the start. I put "no" for the number of visitors, but the GR section is busy when the weather is nice, like the day I did this hike
this circular is a wonderful discovery

Superb hike and excellent with a dog between beaches and river, there are numerous water points. At the end of summer, there are quite a few people on the GR section. However, there is no one on the countryside section.

A very beautiful, comprehensive GR 34 coastal hike with splendid views, returning via a country lane that largely follows a stream. Given the time indicated, we went directly from Port Jehan to the path that runs alongside the stream. We made a mistake along the route despite the description, a very precise map and a GPS!!! In fact, at point 7, instead of going to point 8, we went to La Perrine and followed the small road to the finish, which wasn't very pleasant... there are times when you shouldn't chat too much!
It's a great hike

Magnificent views and a superb passage through the valley.
I started from the Binic beach car park and returned via the beach at low tide (adding about 2 km)

A very pleasant hike between customs posts and valleys. Very little traffic on the roads, which are not very busy anyway; we did not encounter any cars.

We have added a start and finish in Binic via the GR 34 to this hike. This should add between 4 and 5 kilometres. A pleasant route with the sea as a common theme, despite passing through Pordic. A break at the beautiful Tournemine beach for a swim makes the hike even more enjoyable. Make sure you have something to dry your feet properly, otherwise you run the risk of getting blisters

A very pretty route with little tarmac. The view at Brehin is magnificent, especially when the sun is shining.

Great hike. Good explanations.
Be careful between points 4 and 6, as there is a lot of construction work in the town (as of May 2020). Do not go around the lake between 4 and 5; enter the housing estate immediately.

I did it starting from La Banche beach in Binic and then connecting to point 2 via the GR34. Stay on the GR until you reach Pointe de Brèhin (easily recognisable by the small river that flows into it)
