Park in the car park near Landévennec church.
(S/E) From the car park, retrace your steps to enter the cemetery through the stone arch and walk around this marine cemetery on the banks of the Aulne. The church, open every day from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., is well worth a visit.
Exit and continue along the esplanade with benches, where a bronze statue has been installed to mark "The Entry into the Third Millennium".
Markings:GR®® 34 White and Red +PR®® Yellow.
Leave the road to the small port on your right and take Rue du Fiezen on your left, a narrow single-track road that climbs steadily. You will reach a television pylon.
(1) At the signpost, turn right to enter the Landévennec State Forest. Follow the wide stony path which gradually descends to overlook the maritime part of the Aulne. At the first fork, turn right (mark VTT18) then, after a small loop, follow the wide path heading west. The path is easy to follow in this deciduous forest.
After a while, you will begin to see the end of the Sillon des Anglais, a coastal strip of small rocky blocks, on your right between the trees. Continue, looking for a gap in the trees to access it after passing a small stream that was dry in September 2019.
(2) A discreet, partially faded sign set back slightly from the path indicates the geological site and marks the passage. Descend to the right and onto the beach, continuing to the right until you reach the start of the coastal strip.
Retrace your steps and take the wideGR®® trail to the next fork marked by an information sign saying "Vous êtes ici" (You are here), which helps you find your location.
(3) The circuit enters the area known as Bois du Loc'h. Continue straight ahead with theGR®® trail in a south-westerly direction.
The path narrows considerably and requires greater caution due to the presence of stones. It alternates between ascents and descents while gradually moving away from the river. You will reach an unsecured rocky viewpoint.
(4) Shortly afterwards, the path cuts across the contour lines downhill and crosses a rocky area where the passage is a little tricky despite the improvements. It ends with a staircase.
At Loc'h, another coastal strip appears. Reach a road and follow it downhill to reach this geological site.
(5) Retrace your steps, leaving theGR®®, and go up the small road to the barrier at the entrance to the national forest, where there is a new information panel.
YellowPR®® markings: few, as the route does not require them.
(6) Follow this wide forest road which climbs steadily and runs alongside a nature reserve on the right-hand side, which is of course off-limits. Continue along this forest road lined with conifers until you reach another barrier marking the exit from the woods.
(7) Continue straight ahead on the small road, leaving the long "Tour de Landévennec" circuit on your right. Follow this small road towards the hamlet of La Forêt. Here, the yellow markings are very sporadic. Cross the hamlet.
(8) At the exit, at a crossroads, continue straight ahead on an unpaved road that is prohibited except for agricultural use. This wide path winds its way through the meadows and offers views of the Logonna-Daoulas peninsula on the right. Continue towards the hamlet of Kerbéron.
(9) At the entrance to the hamlet, turn right onto the first road, the entrance to which is not very clearly marked. If you cross the entire hamlet, turn around as you have missed the turn-off. Follow this small road, which veers left and then right, to join the D60 at a stop sign and a post box.
(10) Cross carefully (no protected crossing) and take the grassy path opposite, which leads to another road where you will find theGR®® andPR®® long circuit.
Markings:GR®® 34 white and red +PR®® yellow.
Follow this road to the left, keeping to the right where there is slightly more space to walk. Take care as the road is narrow. Pass the sign for Le Roz, continue on, looking for the Aulne river below between the houses, and arrive at the viewpoint.
(11) This viewpoint offers a view of the meander of the Aulne, the Île Ronde de Térenez and, below, the military boat graveyard, which is barely visible. Continue downhill, staying on the right-hand side, which is safer. Pass the entrance to Saint-Guénolé Abbey, then the old abbey and its museum. Continue straight ahead along the narrow Rue du Pal, which leads to the foreshore. Look out for the confluence of the Aulne and Faou rivers and the coastal strip known as Le Pal, a birdwatching area.
No signposts.
(12) Turn right and follow the shaded Penforn path that runs alongside the Aulne maritime and the abbey's surrounding wall. Continue to the end of the path.
(13) Retrace your steps.
(12) Continue straight ahead along the campsite. At the dead end sign, turn left to go up the street and, at the top, turn right to reach the church and its car park (S/E).
