The three points of Saint-Briac to Saint-Lunaire

From Bechay or Béchet Beach to Saint-Lunaire via Dinard Golf Course.
The outward journey follows the coast, along customs paths and part ofthe GR® 34; return via the boulevards with their maritime names, along departmental roads lined with beautiful granite houses.
The three headlands encountered along the route are Pointe de la Haye, Pointe de la Garde Guérin and Pointe du Décollé.
Magnificent views of the Breton coast.

Notes

Good closed-toe shoes are necessary due to the stones and log-nosed steps on the hillside; trees also have roots protruding from the ground.
Part of the route is optional: reduce the distance by 1.5 km if you do not walk down the Grand-Rue de Saint-Briac at the end of the route to see the tiny town centre (bakery, ice cream parlour, brasserie).

Worth a visit

Between (S/E) and (1), the coves are accessible, including the small beach at La Salinette.
(9) La Pointe du Décollé offers a magnificent view from the semaphore.

I changed my route so that I could come back more inland, passing by the cemetery of Saint Briac, the church and the memorial stone, then returning along the coast

We set off from Lancieux to walk along the Frémur estuary and then joined the "Les trois Pointes de Saint-Briac à Saint-Lunaire" trail, staying on the GR34 for the return journey. A magnificent hike.

A very beautiful hike with magnificent views throughout.
The return route 4–10 is of little interest, except to shorten the return journey.
Please note that there is an error in the PDF, which indicates a departure from Corseul.

A very beautiful hike on a whim, a complete change of scenery with these magnificent views, but less than an hour and a half from my home, a perfect energy boost. I highly recommend it.

A very pleasant walk, allowing you to discover all the coves and beautiful beaches between Saint Briac and Saint Lunaire.
On the way back, a break at the magnificent Longchamp beach is almost a must. (It is also possible to cut across before 7 to reach 4, thus avoiding part of the Longchamp boulevard).
However, the end (4, 10, 11, A) is much less interesting (the road is quite busy in summer).
