(S/E) At the south-western end of the car park, cross Avenue du Maréchal Juin with care and take the coastal path that runs alongside the Vincin. Follow the river to the Vincin mudflat observatory.
(1) Return to the path and head eastwards to the crossroads. Turn left to continue along the river until the coastal path meets Rue de l’Île d’Arz. Follow this street north-eastwards to the roundabout.
Leave theGR® 34 markings and follow the yellow signposts.
(2) Cross the roundabout, then take the lane below Rue de l’Île d’Arz and continue to the traffic lights.

(4) Turn right onto the gravel path lined with shrubs, heading south-west. Continue until you reach the crossroads.
(5) First turn left then right to continue along the path heading south-west until you reach Rue de l’Amiral Pierre Ronarc’h, right next to a roundabout.
(6) Cross the road carefully and continue straight ahead along the path until you reach the Cliscouët Stadium. Walk alongside the stadium on your right until you reach a junction.
(7) Turn left (east-southeast), cross Rue Ty Coët and continue along Chemin des Aubépines, in the Cliscouët neighbourhood, following the regular yellow markings. Continue to Rue Jean François de Surville, where you’ll arrive opposite the “Surville” bus shelter.

(11) After passing through a hairpin bend to the right, continue along Allée Maisonneuve (a dead-end road); then, after a right-angled left-hand bend, continue through the green space, keeping to the left to go round the Pollinarium des Salines de Conleau and the Maison de la Nature. You will arrive at a disabled parking area on Rue Rodin, in the Lotissement des Salines.
(12) Turn left, then immediately right to continue northwards along Allée des Paludiers. Carry on almost as far as the roundabout at the exhibition centre. A few metres before this roundabout, take the path on the right, before the stream.
