Description of the walk

The starting point is at the Château de Bélon car park.

(S/E) Walk down a few metres, then turn right at the Château de Bélon oyster workshops (a few wooden tables offering a stunning view of the River Bélon). Then, follow the GR®34 trail. During the first part of the route, walk alongside the river, with a few gentle inclines but some magical views. You’ll arrive at Pointe de Penquernéo, where the karstic cave and the Bélon converge before flowing into the Atlantic (a magical spot with dense vegetation). The ruins of Fort de Bélon are still standing, despite the storms.

(1) Cross over to the bank of the karstic cave and head up to the Anse de Goulet de Riec.

(2) Turn back and follow the same path in the opposite direction to the Château de Bélon car park (S/E).
