Gwin Zégal car park.
(S/E) Leave the car park and walk due north. The path leads to Gwin Zégal Harbour (off the route).
(1) Take the coastal path on the left: theGR®®34(marked in red and white). Follow it as far as Bonaparte Beach.
(2) The path bends to the right and begins a fairly steep descent.
(3) Cross the access road to Port Moguer and continue along the path directly opposite. After a few metres, take the path on the right. It starts with a gentle slope, which becomes steeper after about a hundred metres. The path ends at a tarmac road, which you follow for 50 metres.
(4) After a bend to the right, carry on straight ahead, leaving a road on your left. The road becomes a footpath again until you reach a viewpoint overlooking the coast. You’ll come to another 50 metres of tarmac before turning right onto the path, which makes a hairpin bend to the left. You will then begin a descent towards Bonaparte Beach. (See the linked website below).
(5) At the car park, take the path on the right, heading uphill; this runs alongside the road for a short while, then at a path junction, continue to the left (at this point, theGR®® 34 branches off to the right). Immediately afterwards, take the path on the right. You will reach the hamlet of Keruzeau. When you reach the road, turn left. At the end of the road, at the hamlet known as Le Pradou, turn left.
(6) On the right-hand side stands the Saint-Samson Chapel. Continue to a crossroads. Take the path opposite, veering slightly to the left, then after a few hundred metres, go straight on, veering slightly to the right. The path is wide and gravelled.
(7) At the crossroads, carry on straight ahead, leaving the wayside cross on your right. The wide path leads onto a tarmac road.
(8) At a right-hand bend, carry on straight ahead along a grassy path. Go round a group of houses to reach a road, which you take by turning left. Carry on along this road.
(9) The road leads to a property marked number 14. At the entrance to the property, take a small path on the right which runs alongside a stone wall. The path ends at the road to Port Moguer.
(3) You can go down to the jetty and take the footbridge to the left of the small house to admire the view.
Follow the same route back as on the way there; the climb is steep.
(1) As mentioned in the introduction, you can return to the car park or continue slightly to the left and complete the second circular section of the route.
(10) From the road, take the path on the right. You’ll reach the Beg Hastel car park on the right. Continue along the path, always taking the left-hand fork.
(11) At a hairpin bend, follow the path on the left and continue along it, always taking the left-hand track whenever there is another option.
(12) The path leads to Pointe de Plouha, which offers a panoramic view of Saint-Brieuc Bay and, on the eastern horizon, the Gulf of Saint-Malo and the Emerald Coast.
Continue along the coastal path, which is also theGR®®34.
(13) When you reach a road, turn right. Leave theGR®®34, which follows the road to the left (off the route). This road leads to Palus Beach.
The path leads to Port Logot. Continue along the road, which runs as an extension of the path, taking a first turn left then right.
(14) Follow the road on the right and continue due north. Go straight across the junction.
(15) At a left-hand bend, take the path on the right, then after a few metres follow the road to the left. At the junction, take the right-hand lane and carry on straight ahead along this road.
At a place called Kerjean, follow the road to the right. At the wayside cross, continue to the right and then carry on along this road.
(16) At the junction, turn left towards Gwin Zégal to return to the starting car park (S/E).
