The path is steep at first.
The coast is magnificent.
But the pointe d'arradon has been closed for at least 1 year due to a landslide, which is a shame.
The end before arriving at Le Vincin is on the road, which is quite dangerous.

Hello,
Be aware that the start of the path is steep. For older people, it would be better to start at point 11-10 and go down to the coastal path near the village of Le Moustoir.
Otherwise, the same charming landscapes of the Gulf of Morbihan.
Le Moustoir is a very pretty village with a charming chapel, climbing roses and thatched cottages.
We can't go round the Pointe d'Arradon because of the risk of landslides. For the record, when we passed by, there was a fire in the restaurant (quickly put out by the fire brigade). We returned the same way we came.

Hello,
Without any particular difficulty except for the first few steps, just after the flea market, the start of the coastal path is very steep (please note).
A large part with a sublime view of the Gulf, the seafront, small pleasure boats at anchor, birdsong, the scent of the sea and the sea breeze.
The second part takes you along a small, often shady road.
On the way to the pointe d'Arradon, between point 2 and the roundabout, the route shows a different route between the way in and the way out, but in fact it's the same way (to be precise).
A very pleasant walk that I did alone in just under 3 hours using the Visorando route with zoom on the IGN map.
Best regards,

It would almost be better to do it the other way round and finish on the customs path along the coast. We set off from the Arradon municipal campsite (in 7). A very pleasant place.

Superb ride, with a large part along the coast. The path is sometimes narrow, so it's a nice change from the tarmac roads. A lovely day out!

As I was in a camper van, I set off from the car park at 5 rue de Pen er Men, about a hundred metres from the route, about a kilometre before the tide mill dam.
A diversion was set up between the starting point and point 1. Barriers have been put in place because of the risk of a landslide. You reach the end of the route, which you take in the opposite direction, and take the second street on the right to get back on the original route. It was well signposted when I passed through;
