Description of the walk

Park at the seaside rest area north of Sarzeau.

(S/E) At the start of the hike, immediately after the small bridge, take the path on the right to follow the coastline.

(1) At the end of the cove "Anse de Kerollet", join the GR®34, which you follow around Port Brillac via the road "Route du Golf" for a few metres, then the dead-end street "Impasse de Kerollet"` on the right. Take the first track on the left, follow it to the end and turn right onto the path that joins the coastline. Go past the town called Beau-Soleil.

(2) Leave the GR® and continue along the coast to go around the tip "Pointe de Bernon".

(3) Join the GR® 34, pass the "Pointe de l'Ours: and reach Brillac. Follow the road "Chemin du Palud" and then the street "Rue Saint Maur", which turns right.

(4) Turn left up the street "Rue Abbé Drean" towards the church, leaving the cemetery on your left.

(5) At the cross, take the gravel road on the left and follow it to Kerdéquinet. Take the main street on the right for a few metres, then the first on the left.

(6) At the bend in the road, take the small path on the right between two houses and follow it south-east then north-west to join the GR®.

(7) Turn right to reach the car park (S/E).

We encountered around sixty hikers without any problems on an easy-to-follow trail on an exceptional day: blue skies, calm seas... https://www.pictures-cloud.fr/large-bf1d...

A very pleasant route along the gulf.
At the end of the loop, we changed the suggested route because we had to walk along the road (there were a lot of us with children). We easily found the coastal path again.

The route was taken in May, so the paths are quiet. In high season, it is undoubtedly busier.

Nice walk, mostly on the GR34, with some lovely views over the golf course.
On the way back, as some of the comments mentioned a return on the road that was of no interest, we turned left rather than right before point 4 in Brillac and followed the road (barely a kilometre on a wide, safe, little-travelled road) to point 1, and then took the path from the start in the opposite direction on the GR34 to get back to the car (same total mileage).

A very pleasant route along the golf course with magnificent views. The return journey is a little less pleasant, with a lot of road but you can't always find footpaths.

parish specific to Brittany. On the other hand, the return journey from point 7 to the start is by road, so we have looked for a route.

A very fine route, accessible to all, with varied scenery. A few gaps in the signposting on the Brillac side, but the route is still fairly obvious.
