Access: In Pont-l'Abbé, take the D2 towards Loctudy. On leaving the town, turn left at the sign for 'Centre Hippique de Rosquerno'. The car park is at the end of the road on the right.
(S/E) Exit at the back of the car park (signposted 'Site Naturel Protégé Rosquerno'). Walk along the left-hand side of a meadow where horses regularly graze. In the woods, take the first path on the left and continue to a crossroads.
Continue straight ahead until you reach a signpost, where you turn right.
GR® 34: White and Red +PR®® Yellow
The path through the woods follows the Pont-L'Abbé river, where you will see several small islands, such as Île Chevalier.
(1) Go around the Menhir Mouillé de Penglaouic on the right and leave a passage on the left via the beach to reach a footbridge at the end of a small cove. Continue along the path that runs alongside the river (the GR® route has been changed).
Go around a house, take a footbridge and continue along the river. You will come to the bridge that leads to Île Queffen (private) and continue on this road until you reach the bend
(2) At the end of the road (sign indicating a change in the path), turn right to return to the riverbank (view of Queffen Island and its access bridge on the left, Garo Island on the right and Île-Tudy on the other bank between the two). Follow the path that turns right and cross a stream over a bridge made of a long flat stone.
Continue to the left and arrive at the fully restored old Dourdy tide mill.
(3) Follow the path along the riverbank that goes around the Domaine du Dourdy, a former holiday village (view of the castle on the right), and reach the bridge leading to Île Garo (private island, accessible on foot to the shore at the end of the bridge).
Turn right and continue along the former holiday village.
At the entrance to Château du Dourdy, continue straight ahead.
Yellow markings
(4) Turn left into this property, which is open to the public, to make a small circular loop. Turn right at the end of the long wall and follow this path, which leads to the Loctudy marina. Return to the crossroads via a long tree-lined avenue.

(4) Turn left and cross the newly built bridge over the Pen an Veur cove (former tide mill).
No markings
(5) At the sign for "Allée Blanche", a private road open to pedestrians, turn right and follow this wooded lane which leads to the D2 opposite the Croaziou Chapel. Cross and go around the chapel to see the calvary.
(6) Opposite the chapel porch, take a path below the roundabout. Follow this small road, passing "Actual Jardin" landscapers and then an old waste disposal site closed by a gate. This road (dead end sign) turns right and leads to Kergaladec farm.
YellowPR®® markings (relatively discreet)
(7) Continue along this wide farm track for about 2 km, heading north-west (view of Kérazan Manor on the right). At times, the path narrows and becomes a sunken lane, then widens again and crosses a wooded area.
No markings
(8) Cross with extreme caution, as there is no protected crossing, and follow the tarmac cycle and footpath to the right towards a roundabout. Go around the roundabout on the left and continue along the cycle path towards Loctudy, skirting a wood until you reach a ruined house (alternative route in practical information).
(9) Enter the woods, turn right onto the first path, pass a protective cage on an old discus and hammer throwing training ground (former sports field) and arrive at the car park of the former Pays Bigouden eco-museum (closed).
Leaving the car park, turn right and join the small road Chemin de Rosquerno, which you follow to the left to reach the car park after about 300 metres (S/E).
