Description of the walk

Coming from Saint-Cast, after crossing the strait, take the first road on the left to park in the car park behind the restaurant.

(S/E) From there, walk up the street and follow the red and white signposts forthe GR®®34. Take the path on the left to reach the bay, then climb the steps back up to the road and continue until you reach the coastal path on the left.

(1) At the junction, keep left, staying on theGR®®34.

(2) At Vauver beach, at the junction, do not take the path leading off to the right but continue along the beach to the end to reach some steps and theGR®®. Take Rue du Ruet, then at the roundabout, turn left onto Boulevard des Dunes, still following the red and white markings.

(3) Continue to the left as indicated by the signposts to rejoin the coastal path. Carry on until you reach Boulevard du Chevet.

(4) Turn left to reach the headland and admire the view.

(5) Turn back along the boulevard.

(4) Do not return along the same path, but carry on along Boulevard du Chevet, take the cul-de-sac and head for Plage du Rougeret.

(6) Return to the coastal path as far as the roundabout. From there, the route is signposted in red and white. Take Rue de la Roule Causseul straight ahead. At the junction, turn left onto Chemin des Fresches. At the end of the path, continue straight ahead. Then turn right onto Chemin des Landes, followed by Impasse du Châtelet.

(7) Continue along the route to rejoin the coastal path.

(8) At the end of the path, turn left, walk past the seafood shop and carry on straight ahead through the woods to reach the CD26 road.

(9) Cross the road and take the path opposite, still following the red and white markings. Continue to the end of the straight stretch.

(10) Turn right and stop following the signposted route. Walk to a small hamlet until you reach the road. Turn left (Rue des Bourgneufs) and head towards the junction with Rue du Guildo.

Hello,
Between waypoints 10 and 11, it is not possible to cross “Moulin de la Ville Manuel”; in fact, it is prohibited and blocked off by a wire fence, with a “private property” sign.
Suggestion: between “La Ville Manuel” and waypoint 10, take the path on the right to reach “Les Bourgneufs”.
It appears that this ban on crossing “Moulin de la Ville Manuel” has been in place for a very long time. Please amend your route.
Kind regards.

I agree with previous comments:
- prettier at high tide
- much less attractive at the end of the route
For my part, I missed the turn-off at point 9, which meant I had to take a detour.

A well-detailed route, in fact at junction 10 you come across a private property, just follow it to the right and you can join the rest of the route without any problem.
Magnificent scenery,

This route should preferably be taken in the other direction, as the eastern part of the route is much less interesting (sewage treatment plant, large campsite, housing estates).
In this direction, the path on the right after the Presqu'île campsite is now private, between markers 10 and 11 (misappropriation?). Continue as far as the hamlet of Les Bourgneufs and turn right to catch up with the route.

Please note that it is not possible to pass between markers 10 and 11, as this is a private property and the path is enclosed with a gate and barrier. Turn right at number 9.

Superb walk with beautiful views and beaches. I prefer the path from the castle to the point, with a short drink break in the abbey grounds. The other side is less beautiful, with roads and paths behind houses with no view. However, between points 7 and 12, there are some nice paths and superb views. Between 10 and 11, it has become private property. Don't forget your swimming costume to keep cool in summer. Good walking to all. Marie O

A beautiful walk, to be done at high tide if possible. Beaches for swimming along the way and picnic tables.

Thank you for this beautiful route. As already mentioned, the path was indeed cut between 10 and 11. A private individual had put up a fence and declared the path to be private property. We had to make a diversion. We took advantage of the tide to go all the way to the end of the peninsula, about 19 km in all.

Hello
We couldn't find the path between 10 and 11.
We had the impression that it had become private.

Superb walk, but after junction 9 at the 1st junction turn immediately right to join Rue des Bourgneufs, which you walk up on the left, because at the small hamlet at junction 10 the owner has closed off the path with fencing and a sign forbidding private property.
