Pléneuf-Val-André walks
Pointe de Piégu
The Pointe de Piégu trail has two distinct aspects, alternating between heritage and panoramic views. On the one hand, there is the built heritage, with the old fishermen’s cottages and period villas lining the streets you’ll walk through. On the other hand, there is the natural heritage, with the Îlot du Verdelet and Plage des Vallées, whose silt cliffs come into view as you pass Pointe de Pléneuf.
Along the water’s edge in Pléneuf-Val-André
Cycle and discover the picturesque charm of the countryside and the remnants of centuries past, which punctuate this cycle route—entirely on roads, though not without its challenges. Once you’ve left Pléneuf-Val-André, charming little tree-lined roads and hedgerow-lined paths await you. Keep your eyes peeled, as it’s around the bends that you’ll spot old wash houses and chapels.
For cyclists, you’ll have even more time to take in these landscapes at your own pace.

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.

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.
