Description of the walk

Park in the Terrasses car park at the western end of Trestel beach.

(S/E) Leave the car park on the right and walk along the beach, with the sea on your left. Just before the rehabilitation centre, take the road uphill on the right. Ignore Rue des Prés on the left and, at the next fork, take Rue de Bel Air on the left. At the next fork, continue to the right.

(1) Take a path on the left before reaching the road. At the end of the path, turn left then right to follow Rue de Min Guen. At a sharp right-hand bend, continue along the path. After 50 metres, turn right to walk along a stretch of water on the left.

(2) Continue on the right. Take Rue du Moulin for 30 metres and continue along the path on the right.

(3) Turn left onto a path under the trees, heading north-northwest. Please note that this path is not marked on maps. It then heads northwest alongside a water treatment plant, then north to some houses on the right. Continue on the left and join a street that leads to the Côte de Trestel. Continue, keeping to the left.

(4) Take care when crossing Rue de la Mairie. Continue to the right, then take the first left, Rue de Ker Awell. At a sharp left-hand bend, continue straight ahead along the path. After a hairpin bend to the left, cross the Kergouanton stream and continue to the road leading to Rumorvan.

(5) Turn right. At the end of the street, turn left, then after 100 metres, turn right and continue left.

(6) By turning right, you can go directly to the car park at the start.
Continue straight ahead. Take the path that continues along the street.

(7) At the fork, turn left. Continue along Rue de Feunteuniou, then turn right onto Rue de Port L'Épine. Walk down the protected path on the right-hand side of the street to reach the seafront.

(8) Turn left onto Venelle de Porz Caroet. Continue along the campsite. When you reach the seafront, turn right. At the end of the campsite, turn right, go up the steps on the left and, on the road, turn left towards the Village Marin. Continue along the seafront.

(9) Leave the road by taking a path on the right that leads to the viewpoint currently under development (winter 2017). An orientation table will soon be installed there. Unobstructed view of Tomé Island, Perros-Guirec Bay and, in the distance, the Sept-Îles Archipelago. As you descend, veer to the right and join the road that leads back to a crossroads you took earlier.

(8) Continue along the seafront and pass a second campsite on your left. Join the coastal path and continue along it.

(10) Before the seafront turns left, take a path on the right.

(7) At the fork you took on the way there, turn left to reach another junction you have already passed.

(6) Turn left onto Place Saint-Adrien, then Rue de Porz Keriec. Before reaching the beach, take the marked path on the right. Continue along the coastal path. Cross the Kergouanton stream again at its mouth and continue to the point.

(11) Go around the point and continue eastwards along Route de Port Le Goff. At the end, turn left to go down to the beach. After crossing the road, head for the Terrasses car park (S/E).

Notes

This hike has three circular loops to suit everyone:
- the circular loop to (6) is just under 8 kilometres
- the second circular loop, to (8), is over 9 kilometres long.
However, the Pointe de Porz Caro and its viewpoint are well worth the detour for the view.

This route is probably very busy in summer but was perfect in April.
We took a slight detour at point number 4 (not everyone may have the same definition of a hairpin bend ).
Magnificent scenery and views.
I recommend it.

We "missed" the road leading to the town hall (between 3 and 4). We had to "go round in circles" a bit to find Rue Feunteuniou.

Well, perhaps a bit too much driving.
