Turn left and follow the path at the base of the dune ridge bordering Kermor Beach.
There are paths allowing you to climb up onto the dune for a panoramic view of the coast and to descend onto the beach.
Please use only these designated paths, as this dune is fragile.
At the large car park on the left, go through a barrier and continue along a tarmac section.
Turn right and cross the beach car park.
(3) Continue along the coastal path overlooking the rocky shore and follow it to Pointe de Combrit, where the old battery is located. You are now at the mouth of the Odet.

(6) Leave the seafront via the street that climbs to the left and turn right into a small alleyway that winds between the houses, leading onto Rue du Phare, which you follow to the right. As you pass, admire the Villa Tri Men, a charming hotel, and continue to the chapel.
(7) Head down towards the harbour, going round the chapel (open to visitors in summer), pass the Abri du Marin – recognisable by its architecture and pink colour – and climb the steps at the gable end of the Café de la Cale. At the junction, turn right into Rue du Menez, which runs alongside a car park on the right.
