Departure from the car park of the Church of Notre Dame de Cherrueix.
Yellow markings
(S/E) Take Avenue du Château (D82), which heads south to the fairly busy D797 departmental road, which you will need to cross with great caution. Take a small stabilised sand path on the left, parallel to the road, until you reach a footbridge.
(1) Before this footbridge, cross over to take the grassy path that branches off to the right, running alongside a canal. At the next road, turn left and then immediately right, continuing along the path alongside another canal. At the next road, turn right and then left before a house. The path follows athird canal.
(2) After about 500 metres, leave the path that crosses yours and continue straight ahead, crossing to the other side of the canal. The path then winds its way to a road.
(3) Turn right onto the road that quickly heads towards the coast until you cross the D797 again.
(4) Cross carefully and walk past the house (garage entrance) to reach the coastal path just behind it. Take this path on the right. It runs along the dyke behind the hamlet. After the hamlet, the path descends towards the sea, then climbs back up the dyke on a tarmac road. Continue straight ahead, passing several old mills, the last of which is the Moulin de la Saline, the only one of the four mills you will pass that still has its sails.
(5) Do not follow the tarmac road when it turns right, but continue straight ahead along a grassy path that passes behind the houses. At the end of the path, opposite a car park, turn right to return to the Church of Notre-Dame de Cherrueix (S/E).
