Description of the walk

Park in the car park of the Saint-Quay-Perros community hall (below the town hall).

(S/E) On leaving the car park, continue to the right, walk past the front of the town hall, cross the street and take Rue Parck ar C'Hra directly opposite. At the end of this street, turn right.

(1) Go through the tunnel under the dual carriageway (Route de Perros) and continue straight on.

(2) Follow Rue de Balaneyer as it curves to the right and, at the next junction, turn left. Continue along Route de Milin ar Stang. Cross the Ruisseau du Gruguil. Ignore the turn-off to Milin ar Stang and continue along the same road to reach Kerlégant.

(3) Before the first houses, continue left onto Route de Milin ar Stang. Reach Route de Petit Camp and follow it to the left. It continues as Chemin de Pen ar Crec’h, ignoring two paths on the left.

(4) At the crossroads, turn left and continue straight on along this road, which becomes a track. As you enter Louannec, the track gives way to a road. At the crossroads, continue straight on along Rue de Roch Wenn.

(5) Take the path on the right, cross a small stream and join a street (Venelle du Stivel). At the end of this, turn left onto Route du Stivel and continue straight on Rue Gravelen. Go round a roundabout and continue straight on the same street.

(6) After the roundabout, take the first street on the right (Hent Kerguien Vian), which joins the Perros-Louannec road (D6). Do not cross it, but turn left onto the footpath running alongside it.
Continue along the footpath on the left-hand side of the road.

(7) When you reach the campsite entrance, use the pedestrian crossing to cross the road. Continue along the footpath, which is now on the right-hand side of the road. This path runs alongside the Etang du Lenn, which flows into the Anse de Perros at high tide.

(8) At the end of the footpath, head towards the Pont Couennec roundabout, go round it on the right and then turn left to follow the road towards Saint-Quay-Perros.

(9) After the shop selling Breton specialities, turn left onto Rue de la Vieille Côte. You’ll see why it’s so aptly named. At the top of the hill, in the right-hand bend, carry straight on past the plantations. Cross Rue des Hortensias and turn right before the town hall to reach the car park for the community hall (S/E).

Lots of small (quiet) roads and, ultimately, not many footpaths – what a shame!
The final stretch, along the coast, follows a fairly busy road (with a safe footpath), which makes the experience considerably less enjoyable. Personally, I was quite disappointed, but I’d still like to thank the author for taking the time to share their route!

No difficulty. Very varied: sea, countryside and woodland.

It’s a lovely walk until you reach the D6 (Route de Perros), as you then have to follow this busy main road. We chose to cross the road before the campsite to take the Venelle de Truzugal and then reach the coast, after which we took the small path (the customs officers’ path) that runs between the coast and the campsite. At the end of the campsite, we turned left and crossed the beach to resume our walk along the D6.

A really interesting walk with views of the sea, the beach and a bird sanctuary; a gentle, very easy climb through woodland; a pleasant walk along the valley floor in mild weather; a stroll through a residential area full of flowers with narrow paths; and a return to the coast via the village of Louannec!!! A car park with sea views where you can stop for a drink – it’s all good
