Description of the walk

Departure from the Salle des Fêtes car park in Louannec.

(S/E) Walk up Rue des Écoles towards the town centre and admire the magnificent gate and carved stones that adorn it on your left.
Turn right (east) and walk 200 metres along the main road (D6) until you reach the first road on the left.

(1) Turn left and, after 50 m, turn left again onto Route de Nantoux, go around a roundabout and join a three-way junction.

(2) Take the path on the left (but roughly in the middle) and follow the yellow signs. Then go down a steep path through the undergrowth. Join Rue des Goémoniers and turn right next to a car park by the beach.

(3) Turn left and follow the coastal path to the campsite.

(4) At the junction with the D6, turn right and follow the coast and the Perros-Guirec road to the large roundabout.

(5) Turn left twice and follow a path that climbs into the woods. This is theGR®84A. Red and white markings. Cross two secondary roads and continue straight ahead to reach Roc'h Guen.

(6) After the housing estate, on the left, a small path will take you through the woods and over a bridge.

(7) You will arrive at the Stivel alleyway on the left. Immediately between the houses, a marked path will take you through this housing estate to a roundabout. Turn right. In front of the primary school, turn left and go downhill. The town hall car park is on the right. Go up the steps to find the Salle des Fêtes car park (S/E).

Nice hike at first, but it quickly loses its appeal. Loss of beautiful scenery.
Guidance perfectly suited!

It's impossible to do the hike without GPS; we got lost three times in the "town" section at the start and end of the hike: the description alone is not enough to find the right route.
The view is nice on the seafront and the forest path is pretty in autumn.

It has been six years since this route was posted online, which is more than enough time for new housing developments to be built and a roundabout with a traffic light to be installed at point 3. We did not use GPS location, so in this case it would be necessary to update the route directions.
This walk is well worth it.

Very beautiful landscapes, even if there are a few too many roads to take (very busy during the summer!)...

We did it the other way round, starting from Lenn, and extended the coastal section to the Nantouar slipway because the tide was right, passing by the (pebble) beach. Then we went back up to the route suggested by the road, which is currently the GR34 (following the landslides of recent winters).
It's also a shame that the "Truzugal" section is so short, because the valley is very pretty! But there's no other way to do it...

Start of hike: same comment as the hiker on 28 January 2019, in the housing estate, turn left at the two metal barriers, unclear at the end before reaching the school.
Thank you.

Hello,
We did the hike last week but we encountered a problem: we never found "After 50 metres, turn left again to reach a three-way junction (3)." Take the path on the left (but roughly in the middle) and follow the yellow signs." So we took the road on the right at the roundabout with the lighthouse towards Nantouar, and about 100 metres further on we found the famous path with the yellow signs. Otherwise, it was a beautiful walk by the sea.
Thank you very much.

Hello,
We did this route but couldn't find the right path in the village of Louannec, so we took a detour via the Nantouar lighthouse, which, incidentally, is well worth a visit. But to find the path again, we had to follow the pebble beach (luckily it was low tide!).
It was at point (3) at the three-way junction that we lost our way. We ended up in a residential area. The directions in the description are unclear, as is the route in a village with many streets.
It was a lovely walk nonetheless.
