Park in the car park in front of Vergnes Beach. In summer, it may be full. If so, park on Boulevard des Plages further back.
(S/E) Go down to the beach and head to the right
(1) At the end of the beach, walk past the restaurant to return to the road. Follow it to the left until you reach the crossroads.
(2) Turn left onto Allée des Peupliers, then left again onto Allée des Houx, before entering the holiday village and following the path that goes around the holiday village. This path is not marked on the IGN map.
(3) Go down the stairs and cross Arnèche Beach towards the stairs opposite on the other side of the beach. At high tide, you will probably have to walk over the rocks. At the top of the stairs, turn left onto Allée des Merles, then right at the fork.
(4) Turn right before the "Chemin privé" sign. This path leads down to Suzac beach. It is not marked on the IGN map. When you reach Suzac beach, turn right towards its northern end.
(5) At the end of the beach, walk past the restaurant to return to the road and follow it to the left.
Just after that, you will find the very narrow entrance to the path on your left, which runs along the coast towards Pointe de Suzac. A stake planted in the middle is intended to prevent bicycles from passing, as the path is not at all suitable for bicycles, even mountain bikes. Continue along this path to Pointe de Suzac.
(6) Once past the point, follow the path that runs along the coast under the holm oaks.
(7) Start of the round trip to the Vallières Lighthouse. Go down to the large Saint-Georges Beach and walk towards its northern end.
(8) Take the path that crosses the boat park and runs along the coast towards the lighthouse.
(9) Vallières Lighthouse. Take the time to admire the landscape at the foot of the lighthouse (which is open to visitors), then take the Promenade Charles Martel along the sea towards the centre of the village of Saint-Georges.
(8) When you reach the end of the boat park, you have two options:
- return via the beach,
- or follow the promenade along the embankment, which is very lively in summer.
Back at the southern end of the beach, go up the ramp (toilets at the top).
(7) Turn left. Walk along the Bois-Soleil campsite.
(10) Turn right to cross the road and take the small road that slopes up to the right, Allée des Paons.
(11) Turn right onto Rue des Rouges-Gorges. You will come to a street; follow it in the same direction.
(12) At the next bend, leave the street and take the path opposite, continuing in the same direction, Allée des Lierres.
(13) You will come to a street; continue to the right.
(14) At the CARA site, turn right onto Rue de la Source.
(2) At the bottom of Rue de la Source, cross the main road and head towards Vergnes beach via the same route as on the way there.
(1) Walk south along the beach; the finish line (S/E) is at the other end of the beach.
