Étables-sur-Mer walks

A short stretch on theGR®34at the start of the walk offers a glimpse of the pleasure of rediscovering these magnificent seascapes at the end of the route, which change with the tides. In between, the path takes you a little further inland, along small coastal rivers or following the old railway line of the Côtes du Nord narrow-gauge railway. A few examples of built heritage enhance this route: a mill, a wayside shrine, railway viaducts, a chapel and seaside villas.

A hike to enjoy the sea views, but also the unique trails of the Breton countryside.

This route reveals a little-known side of Saint-Quay-Portrieux.The narrow streets, lined with old buildings or modern villas, link three monuments that have had their moments of glory: the Saint-Michel windmill, the circular Notre-Dame de la Garde Chapel and the Saint-Quay Fountain, which is said to be the origin of the town’s founding.Two parks offer a chance to take a break: the Parc de la Duchesse Anne and the Parc des Druides, where you’ll find yourself immersed in a setting steeped in legend.Superb views from theGR®®34.

The Ic is a small river, 17 km long, which flows into the English Channel at Binic. After a short climb up the cliffs at the harbour exit, you reach a tributary of the Ic at Lantic, and rejoin the river at Notre-Dame de La Cour, from where it takes you back to Binic. Along the way, you’ll discover two tourist attractions: the Lantic Adventure Park and Trégomeur Zoo. This route takes you through the hinterland of South Goëlo.

Set apart from the main roads, the village centre and its church, the chapel and its shops, lies the ‘village’ of Trévenais, which is home to nearly half of Lantic’s population. This route invites you to walk around it, without actually entering the centre. Featuring a few steep ascents and descents, narrow and winding paths, wooded sunken lanes and local tracks, this circular route will introduce you to the legend of the Chaise menhir, the history of the Fontaine aux Moines and the origins of the village’s ponds. A lovely circular route that partly overlooks the meandering course of the River Ic in the heart of the Lantic countryside.

A lovely walk through the countryside and along the coast. Stop off at the lovely Palus Beach for a refreshing swim and a delicious, energising crêpe!

A short walk that allows you to discover the village of Tréveneuc and its coastline via the customs officers' path.

Apart from a few unavoidable sections on tarmac roads, most of the walk follows farm tracks, sometimes through woodland. The reward for this approach route is the walk along Palus Beach, followed by theGR®34 trail. A somewhat steep route offering views of the cliffs at Plouha and the Pointe de Bec de Vir.

From Port Goret, follow the coastal path along the heights of the Goëlo coast. From the top of the steep cliff, breathe in the sea mist and the scents of unspoilt nature. Nestled between land and sea, the heart of the village, with its recent developments, retains its old-world charm. As you walk along the route, its old stones echo a calm and serene way of life, woven with local tales and legends.

Just a stone’s throw from the Goëlo coast, this walk through time will introduce you to a rich and varied heritage. As you make your way through woods along narrow, winding and sometimes damp paths, you’ll learn about the history of the watercourses that have always been so important to the local people. This route, which is circular in nature and covers the north and south of the town, will take you from the 15th-century Chapel of Notre-Dame de la Cour to Saint-Oswald’s Church, on to the ponds, and then to the Sentier des Trois Fontaines.

This route was used for the second edition of the Plouha 24-hour sports event. Starting from the superb Palus beach, it leads to Keregal Chapel and ends along the small coastal river of Plouhatin, the Corzic, which takes us back to the sea. The route is mainly through woodland.

This route was used for the first edition of the 24h du Sport de Plouha. Starting from the superb Plage du Palus, it runs alongside Le Corzic and climbs gently up an old sunken path to Pointe de Plouha. From there, the view is magnificent. You then descend back to Palus via theGR®34.

A lovely hike starting from Palus Beach, which will take you along the customs officers' path to the Port of Gwin Zégal with its distinctive mooring posts, which are almost unique in the region. The passage through Pointe de Plouha and Le Pommier offers magnificent views of the coast and the highest coastal cliffs in Brittany. The return journey is along rural roads through various typical hamlets and beautiful forest paths.

A hike that begins with a gentle climb on a tarmac road, allowing you to warm up before following the GR®34, which is more rugged. The last third of the hike offers breathtaking views of the sea as you pass by Pointe de Plouha (the highest cliff in Brittany). Like any circular, it can also be done in the opposite direction, thus avoiding a descent down stairs that may be considered problematic. In this case, you will need to make a significant effort from the outset.

This circular route straddles the municipalities of Plérin and Pordic. The route follows the coastal path between Tournemine Beach and Pointe de Bréhin, offering beautiful views of Rosaires Beach and the port of Binic. The return journey is inland, mainly through valley bottoms.

From the Chapel of La Trinité, the route quickly reaches the cliffs. It then follows theGR®34along a fairly rugged section, but with unobstructed views (from Bréhat to Saint-Quay) and numerous possible stopping points. At the lowest point, the beaches of Port Moguer and Gwin zegal are particularly enjoyable. You leave theGR®34before reaching Palus beach, and old sunken paths lead back to small roads that pass through pretty villages to return to the starting point.

Plouha is home to the highest cliffs in Brittany. You can explore them on theGR®®34. Very close to the village centre, starting from the town centre, the first half of this short route follows beautiful sunken paths typical of the Goëlo region and then passes through a few villages with lovely stone houses. Along the route, there are several granite wayside crosses.

This walk can be split into two sections: a 9km circular route to the north-west, which takes in Bonaparte Beach, and a second 6.5km circular route to the south, offering views of Plouha Head.Both circular loops follow theGR®®34along the coast and each includes ascents and descents that may prove challenging for less experienced walkers.

This circular route around the village of Trémuson will first take you along the outskirts of the village via major tarmac roads, then dirt tracks and forest paths will guide you alongside streams and the Gouët, eventually leading you higher up to the site of the old mines.

This short hike follows the coastal path (GR®34) and allows you to discover the incredible story of the Shelburn Network. This organisation, rooted in the Plouhatine community, enabled 144 people to escape to England in 1944. You will follow in the footsteps of the airmen who travelled these paths in the dark nights of the occupation.

Starting from the Chapelle Saint-Samson, take the famous Shelburn network aviators’ path to reach Brehec Beach.

With a 360° view of Saint-Brieuc Bay, the Pointe du Roselier is a must-see viewpoint. The entire bay, stretching all the way to the end of the Anse d’Yffiniac – a designated National Nature Reserve – unfolds before your eyes. This breathtaking view has made the headland a strategic site since the Iron Age. From here, one could scan the horizon to defend against threats or communicate with sailors. Below, Martin’s Beach—a cove of rocks, pebbles and sand—is one of the local paradises for shore fishermen.

This walk, which is of modest length and difficulty, will allow you to appreciate the richness of the seascape and the hinterland of the well-known site of Bréhec. After passing a cliff overlooking the beach, you’ll reach the picturesque village of Lanloup, and then a long, gently sloping walk will take you back to the starting point.
