Start from the chapel in Locqueltas, about two kilometres south-west of Bubry.
(S/E) Walk along the south side of the chapel and leave the village via the large farm track that winds through the countryside to the south-east of the village, running alongside a tall row of trees. Follow this track for about one kilometre until you reach a crossroads. Turn right to reach the village of Goh Canquis.
(1) Cross the north of the hamlet to reach the district road. Cross it and continue along the path opposite, which leads to Guérizec Coëtano. Shortly before reaching the hamlet, turn right onto the path you come to. It leads to the first houses in the village, including a magnificent stone cottage that you cannot miss. After these houses, continue to a small road and follow it to the left for about 100 metres.
(2) Leave the road to the right, taking the path that leads between the agricultural plots. You will reach a T-junction with another small road, next to an isolated house in the middle of a field.
(3) Turn left, then right after about 100 metres to enter the first path lined with embankments on the route. The soft surface contrasts with the stony ground you have been walking on until now, and if it is hot, the shade of the tall trees is welcome. After a left turn and then, 50 metres further on, a right turn, take the first path on the right and head towards the village of Nilhio. When you reach the village, turn right and walk up the main street for a few dozen metres.
(4) The route continues by turning left just before the leather goods workshop. First, follow the edge of the field, then the path returns to its two embankments before coming out onto a small road. Turn right, then left 50 metres further on to find another path lined with wooded embankments. After about 200 metres, you will come to the end of the cul-de-sac in the village of Kerborgn.
(5) Cross the hamlet, passing all the farmhouses that make it up, and continue along the farm track that veers south-east. At the next crossroads (elevation 141), turn left and head east along the track for about 600 metres. Continue tothe first track on the left, ignoring another track that branches off to the right shortly afterwards.
(6) Turn left onto this first path. It is narrow and crosses a landscape that is half forest, half farmland, before reaching the edge of the plateau overlooking the village of Bubry. Turn left at the first crossroads, then follow the path and the small road that descend to the D2 departmental road at Kermoran.
(7) Turn left for a few dozen metres, then descend the narrow path that opens up on your right. When you reach another wider path, turn right to cross the Brandifrout stream, at the old Coëtdiquel mill. Go up the road to the top of the hill at the crossroads with the second street you come to just before reaching the cemetery.
(8) Turn left and walk up this street to the next crossroads. Turn left before reaching the Sainte-Hélène neighbourhood. Take the small street and turn right at the first path you come to, heading north. Ignore the yellow "Grand Route" markings that you have been following more or less since the start.
The path leads into a beautiful forest landscape before meeting the Brétinio road.
(9) Turn left, follow the road until you pass the farmhouse, and turn left at the end of the cul-de-sac to descend into the valley.
Pass the old mill slightly below and go up the path that runs alongside the old water channel. After 400 m, you come to a small road which you follow to the left. Pass the houses of Ty Neüé Perros to reach the crossroads just before the old Perros Mill.
(10) Turn right, and after the right-hand bend, the path crosses the stream and follows the edge of the wood until it reaches the outskirts of the village of Lanquenec. When the dogs start barking, you'll know you're in the right place. Turn right after the S-bend in the path. Reach the houses via a very pretty path lined with embankments. When you reach the heart of the hamlet, don't miss the passage between two houses where you turn left towards Guerjean.
(11) A small sign indicates where to turn, as there is nothing else to indicate that this is the entrance to the path. In the narrow passage, walk along a concrete gutter that runs along the back of the house on the left, before crossing an old farmyard further on. Leaving a recent house on your right, you enter another path lined with embankments, which you follow for about 400 metres. A gate must be opened (and closed again) to access the path that leads to the right, towards the village of Guerjean. Cross it and join the nearby D3. Cross the road and take the road opposite (towards Kerfillette). After about 100 metres, you will find a wide but well-shaded farm track that descends towards the village of Trévengard.
(12) Cross the village from north to south, and when the road branches off to the left, take the path on the right. It goes around a large meadow, beyond which lies an iris garden where you can see a variety of flowers in bloom in May. Before reaching the built-up area, turn right and follow the path that goes around a property to reach the road. However, you can also continue straight ahead to reach the same road.
(13) When you reach the road, turn left and follow it downhill to the next crossroads. Continue straight ahead up the road that leads to the iris garden. Leave the road at the wide left-hand bend when you reach the flat section and turn right onto the tree-lined path that leads to Saint-Trémeur. When you reach the D2, cross the crossroads a few metres to the left and head right towards the Saint-Trémeur Chapel.
(14) Leave the chapel via the south exit and, when you reach the entrance to the old rubbish tip, turn left and head down towards the Fontaine de Bail. It is located a few metres from the path when you reach the bottom of the thalweg. Once you have crossed the stream, take a magnificent path lined with a stone embankment that skirts the foot of a wooded hill. It leads to the Brulé mill pond 450 metres downstream. Turn left and follow the road beyond the bridge over the Brandifrout.
(15) Climb the embankment on the right after passing the mill buildings. The steep path leads to the path that goes around the hill on the left. It runs halfway up the slope above the stream and the road, through a beautiful wooded area. It gradually moves away from the bottom of the valley and climbs up to the plateau, which it reaches by emerging through the gap under the power line. Follow the power line to the right for about 150 metres before turning left. Be careful, as there are two metal wires blocking the gap at head height. Pass underneath them to continue along the path leading to Kerléon.
(16) Cross the road and continue straight ahead. The path winds between farmland before entering the woods overlooking the Locqueltas stream. At the bottom of the valley, the path climbs through the woods and leads to the path that goes to the village fountain. Turn right and follow this path downhill until you reach the water source. Here you can admire one of the prettiest fountains in the area, which has been recently restored and features a lovely little two-coloured statue of Saint Gildas.
(17) Climb the steep path that starts just behind the fountain to return to the village. At the top of the slope, turn left, then right when you reach the crossroads below. At the end of the path, you will see the chapel, marking the end of the route (S/E).
