Description of the walk

Parking available at the Town Hall car park.

(S/E) Walk back up towards the church and turn left. Look for the sign on your right indicating the start of severalPR®® trails, including the one you will be following (yellow markings).
Continue straight ahead and turn slightly left onto Route du Rest, then continue straight ahead on a grassy path.
Follow the yellow markings. Be careful as they are not very visible in some places.
You will come out onto the road at the hamlet of Le Rest.

(1) Turn right onto the road and continue to the Kerbiriou road junction.

(2) Continue straight ahead across the road. The mark is on a post to the right of the path. The path climbs steeply for about 100 metres to reach the Kerbiriou crossroads.

(3) At the end of the path, turn right onto the road and take the opportunity to admire the beautiful view of Grève Saint-Michel. Still following the yellow markings, turn left at the calvary towards Beg Ar Forn and after a few metres you will come to the covered path.

(4) Take it to the left, it descends towards the coast and joins theGR®®34.

(5) Turn right onto theGR®®34and take a short break on the rocks at Beg Ar Forn to admire Grève Saint-Michel on your left. On your right, you can see theGR®®34coastal path winding its way along the cliffs.

(6) Take this path, which is very well marked and maintained and presents no difficulty other than a series of ascents and descents. Continue to the crossroads with the path coming from Kersalic-Bihan on the right.

(7) Continue left on theGR®® to reach the Malabri crossroads (signposted) after 1 km.

(8) Turn right towards Malabri. Continue along the path uphill and follow the yellow PR®® markings. You will reach Kersalic Braz.

(9) Continue straight ahead, staying on thePR®®, to easily find the Trédrez Town Hall car park (S/E).

Easy hike for experienced walkers. With children: take care on the customs officers' paths as at certain points the path runs very close to the edge of the cliff.

A very beautiful hike done on a windy day. For the slightly aerial passages, using walking sticks can help.
Lovely sunken paths to reach the cliffs. The return trip on the small roads is less interesting, but still pleasant. Not very busy in September (we only saw five people on the entire route...).
In my opinion, this hike is not recommended if there has been heavy rain the day before. Some sections can become very slippery due to mud.
Very good description, no need for a GPS.

A few kilometres from the busy paths of Ploumanac'h, there is a beautiful, fairly elevated and much less crowded hiking trail.
The PR is very well marked, so a GPS is unnecessary
As already mentioned, there are a few sections that may be a little difficult for those who suffer from vertigo, but it is possible to bypass them. The return trip along the top of the cliff is quite short on the section where you can no longer see the sea.
The village of Trédrez is very pretty.

A very beautiful hike, with some very steep slopes, but accessible to moderate hikers. Beautiful surroundings and magnificent views. In terms of the route, we went as far as Port de Locquemau. We returned inland via Kerham Izellan and Kerham Huellan to rejoin the route at No. 9

Very chaotic weather, repeated showers.
Not much road travel.
A very beautiful hike despite the showers, but this is Brittany, where the colours of the sea change constantly and the landscapes inspire meditation.
Between points 5 and 7, we saw seals, through binoculars of course.
We didn't make it back to point 8 as a very heavy squall prompted us to be cautious, as the climb back up to point 8 would have been risky.

A very beautiful route with magnificent views. It's a shame for us that the sun didn't come out to make the landscape even more stunning.
Thank you for this route.

Magnificent walk along a balcony above the sea with panoramic views of Saint-Michel-en-Grève bay.
Few people encountered as it is a difficult hike *** with passages above the void. The time allowed is perfect.

A beautiful walk along the cliffs. Much of the path was muddy. We encountered very few people. The signs along the route were missing in some places. But it's still a very beautiful walk. The walk took 2 hours and 15 minutes.

A walk taken on a beautiful July morning, when the tide was high.
It is a magnificent route: beautiful sunken paths to reach the GR34, a very beautiful section of the GR34 with unobstructed views of Saint Michel Bay, Loquirec, and the open sea.
No topographical difficulties, with good yellow markings and red and white markings on the GR34. GPX file = OK;
There are a few exposed sections at Beg Ar Form: if you are prone to vertigo, you can avoid these sections by taking the small path (marked "falaises de Tredrez" and signposted in yellow) which climbs up to the plateau from the tip of Beg and leads to hill 70 at the end of the small road from Pen Ar Min, then descends back to the GR34. This path is clearly marked on the IGN 1:25,000 map No. 0715SB
After that, the GR presents no difficulty for the rest of the walk.
Don't miss the charming 16th-century church in Tredrez.
