Description of the walk

The walk starts from the sailing school car park, opposite the Étang du Vorlen.

(S/E) If the tide allows, go down to the beach via the slipway opposite the old sailing school, walk along the beach to the Coat Trédez stream, then go back up to the road via the slipway at the other end and follow this road uphill (option shown on the map).

Otherwise, take the road to the port, turn left between numbers 22 and 20 (Hent Gwaz ar Gouez) and continue uphill on this road.

(1) Turn left to follow Notigou Beach. This street soon becomes the customs officers' path, which also follows theGR®®34.

(2) Follow the path and pass Pointe du Dourven. Continue along the path following the coast and theGR®®34signs (red and white markers).

(3) Leave theGR®® by taking the path on the right. When it joins a track, take this to the right to reach a road.

(4) Turn right (Hent Lann Kerralig) and then, at the fork, turn left (Hent ar Vilin Awel).

(5) Turn right onto a path that initially heads south. Continue along this path, skirting a field with a standing stone, and continue until you reach the road.

(6) Turn left, cross the Coat Trédez stream again. Cross the hamlet of Kerdépot and continue south on this road, going straight ahead at the intersection.

(7) At Porz ar C'hoat Huellan, take the path on the right and follow the bed of a stream that is dry in summer. Continue along this path.

(8) Go around the Kervan lodge by turning right and take the path on the left in front of the entrance to the private property. Cross the D88 and take the path directly opposite. This turns left and then right before running alongside a football pitch and ending at a road.

(9) Turn left onto this road and, after 50 metres, take the path on the right. At the end, at a place called Kerespertz, turn left and continue for 100 metres.

(10) In a left-hand bend, take the path on the right and then immediately turn left onto the smaller grassy path. This ends at a larger path, which you take, turning right to reach Kersalic Braz. At the place called Lan Charlez, turn left and continue along the same road.

(11) At Lan Charlez, turn left. This street descends steeply and ends at a path on the left, which you take to reach the customs officers' path on the right. You are now on the cliffs of Trédez.

Head north, following the customs officers' path to the Étang du Vorlen, where you take the path on the left to reach the car park (S/E).

A beautiful hike, ideal with a dog as there are very few roads, and he was able to run free for most of the way. Please note, however, that access to the tip of Dourven Park has been closed since Storm Ciaran. There is a well-marked route that takes you around the tip via an uphill and downhill section through ferns. This saves you a good 15-20 minutes on the journey. The end of the hike along the cliffs is remarkable!

Nice weather, few clouds
short drive
Magnificent views, we saw dolphins between Pointe de Séhar and An Dourven.
We took a wrong turn at point 7, which allowed us to see Coat Trédrez Castle. Thank you to the people who trimmed the hedges. It just goes to show that a mistake can sometimes turn out for the best!
Thanks for the route.

Walk taken on a beautiful September morning at high tide.
A very beautiful hike, particularly worthwhile for its coastal route, both between the points of Sehar and An Dourven at the start and for the cliffs of Tredrez at the end of the route.
The eastern part of the loop takes you along beautiful, charming sunken paths.
No technical or topographical difficulties. A few hills, though!
It is best to do this walk at high tide. In autumn, the route is dotted with brambles bearing delicious blackberries, particularly near the hamlet of Kerespertz and along the cliffs of Tredrez.
Off the GR trail, don't miss the beautiful 16th-century church in Locquemeau.

A very beautiful hike along the Bay of Léguer, starting from the port of Locquémeau and heading towards the cliffs of Trédrez via some lovely cross-country paths. Despite the very rainy weather in January, the whole team thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you.

Very nice route, with alternating sun and clouds... Beautiful photos. And the old-fashioned charm of Saint-Michel en Grève.
And to top it all off, we spotted a seal, paddling tirelessly...

A very good hike for an average hiker. Just bring good shoes. Very pretty views and peaceful. Well marked. I recommend it. Follow the map carefully and note the turning points (you can extend the hike with GPS).
