Park at Kairon Church; there are a few spaces available.
(S/E) Walk round the side of the church and follow theGR®® markings, which lead between the farm buildings. You’ll come across ducks and chickens along the way; the dogs are tied up. This tarmac path turns into a dirt track as it descends, then climbs again. At the top, turn left onto the road, and at the bend just after that, take the small path on the right that leads uphill. You’ll reach a high point, then turn left. This wide path crosses a road; continue straight ahead.
(1) You’ll arrive at La Chanterie; take the road on the right. 200 metres further on, at the junction, go straight ahead (neither left nor right) onto the Chemin de la Chanterie. This ends at a house; turn left so that you walk alongside the property, keeping it on your right. You are now on the Chemin de l’Étrier. Cross the D373 and, a few metres further on, turn left onto the road closed to motor vehicles. This takes you to the hamlet of La Bruyère. Once there, at the junction, turn right onto the small Route de la Deganetière. This road is almost level.
(2) Before heading downhill, turn left onto the main track. On this track, you are on the hills above Saint Pair-sur-Mer and have a lovely view of the surrounding area and the mouth of the Thar. This track descends and comes out onto a small road; take the road straight ahead and cross the D373 (note: the IGN map is out of date), then continue straight ahead and head uphill.
(3) At the top of the short climb, turn slightly left onto the path that winds between hedges separating meadows and fields. Continue until you reach a tarmac road; cross it to take the small street straight ahead, then turn right to head back towards the starting point, the church at Kairon (S/E).
