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.

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.
