Parking (height restriction 1.90 m) at the roundabout at Rue de la Gare and Boulevard des Dunes, on the edge of Ruet Beach.
(S/E) At the roundabout, take Boulevard des Dunes. Follow it until you reach a staircase on the foreshore in front of the houses.
(1) Depending on the tide, either go down the steps onto the beach (marked route) or stay on the pavement along the seafront.
(2) Leave the foreshore and take the path that follows the coastline, passing Pointe du Bechet and Plage des Haas.
(3) The path runs alongside the grounds of St-Acut Abbey, where there are several flights of steps to climb.
It leads to the road and car parks at Pointe du Chevet. From here, there is a view of the Arguenon estuary with its mussel beds and the Hébihens archipelago
(4) Leave the Pointe via the path at the memorial stone erected in memory of Commander Koening's departure for England in June 1940. The path climbs up to the orientation table and the Maison du Chef de l'Isle. Go back down to the access road to the Pointe and turn left.
(5) After 200 m, it leads to the large car park at Rougeret Beach. At the end of the car park and on the left-hand side, rejoin theGR®34. The path descends towards the beach and the port of Houle Causseul overlooking Lancieux Bay.
(6) At the port, go past the harbour master's office and go up Rue de la Houlle Causselle. After about 100 metres, at the corner of the Les Villas du Port housing complex, turn left onto the dirt track. After a few dozen metres, it narrows to a path that runs alongside the hedges of the villas. At the end of the path, cross the road and continue straight ahead on the dirt track.
(7) The Chemin des Landes leads to a wide road. Take it on the left and after 50 metres join the path that opens up at the end of the road on the right. The path is very narrow and runs alongside the villas. At the end of the path, continue along the road on the left.
It leads to Plage de la Pissotte, which you will leave on your left. Turn right and then left to take Chemin de la Pissotte, which leads to Camping de la Plage de la Manchette.
Go around the campsite on the left, either along the dune or the path that runs parallel to it. At the end of the campsite, the path overlooks the polders and the protective dyke for the low-lying fields (some parts of the path are narrow).
(8) Continue to the small industrial estate below. Before the water treatment plant, leave the path via the concrete steps and cross the ditch to join the road opposite leading to the industrial estate.
Leave the area via the road on the right, which leads to the junction with the departmental road.
At the crossroads, go up the D62 on the left. After 200 m, at a villa with a square tower (white), take Rue de la Gare on the right, which will take you back to the Plage du Ruet car park (S/E).
