Boucle entre Saint-Quay et Binic

Departure from Saint-Quay-Portrieux (Côtes-d'Armor)

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.

An unusual discovery in Saint-Quay-Portrieux

Visorando Member

Departure from Saint-Quay-Portrieux (Côtes-d'Armor)

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 seen their heyday: 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 are immersed in a setting steeped in legend. Superb views from theGR®34.

Visorando Member

Boucle du Palus par la Pointe de Plouha

Departure from Plouha (Côtes-d'Armor)

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 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.
