The Route des Marins from Pléneuf-Val-André
The Route des Marins is a nature walk. This is partly due to its sections in the countryside and along the GR®34, but also because of all the sections passing through the town, mostly following flower-lined paths and lanes between the villas and neighbourhoods of Pléneuf-Val-André.
You’ll make your way around the harbour, between the GR®34, along the channel, Notre-Dame de la Garde and the chapel of Dahouët.
Welcome to the Route des Marins!

Tour of Cap d'Erquy via the beaches
This route goes around the tip of Cap d'Erquy via the beaches on the north side and passes by the old pink sandstone quarries on the south side.These quarries were in operation until 1974 and date back to the 18th century. A superb walk, especially in good weather, which is often the case. The route is lined with gorse and broom, which you may be lucky enough to see in bloom. The northern part of the route is a little wilder and more exposed to the wind, but at high tide the waves are a magnificent sight.

Saint Michel Chapel in Erquy
A pleasant little walk, but the chapel is only accessible at low tide, so you need to calculate the time available before crossing. The ford is a little difficult to cross due to large rocks. The chapel is open to visitors and an association called "Les Amis de la Chapelle Saint-Michel" is responsible for its renovation and maintenance.
