Parking at Kérity harbour.
(S/E) From the car park, head right (east) towards the roundabout and turn left onto the main street, which is quite narrow. Turn left into Venelle des Mareyeurs, which leads to a grassy esplanade where you can see an old well. Turn right, then right again into Venelle Sainte-Thumette, which leads to the 16th-century church of the same name (worth visiting if it is open).
Go through the garden next to the church and continue straight ahead, ignoring the streets on both the right and left.
Yellow markings (very prominent)
(1) Turn right into Venelle Romain Rolland, passing in front of the former presbytery, a 16th-century manor house recognisable by its turret. Continue, cross a larger street and follow Rue Jean Moulin opposite until you reach the cycle path sign, the former Pont-l'Abbé - Saint-Guénolé railway line.
(2) Follow this paved cycle path for almost 2 km. It crosses a protected natural area.
No signposts.
Continue along Rue des Jonquilles.
(3) At the crossroads, turn right onto Rue Danielle Casnova, then left onto Rue de Pouloupry, which leads to the D53
(4) Follow it carefully to the left for about 100 metres, then turn right towards the Tour Carrée. Continue along Rue Frédéric Juliot Curie, ignoring a street on the right and then on the left.
(5) Turn left onto Rue Jeanne d'Arc, pass by the Church of Saint-Guénolé, cross Rue Jeaun Jaurès and arrive at Rue Lucien Le Lay.
(6) Follow it to the right, cross Place Auguste Dupouy diagonally to enter the port esplanade.
Please note: The port area is a working area. Please be careful and follow the various instructions posted.
(7) Continue to the end of the embankment: view of the harbour entrance.
(8) Turn back, walk along the fish market and turn right.
GR®34markings: White and red.
Go around this new esplanade and take the path that now runs along the coast to the port of Kérity.
(9) Follow this path, which offers a beautiful view of this vast rocky reef, and reach the 16th-century Notre-Dame de la Joie Chapel (worth visiting if it is open).
(10) Continue along the pavement built along the sea wall towards Pointe de Penmarc'h, dominated by the 60-metre-high Eckmühl Lighthouse. This site is also home to the 14th-century fire tower, the old lighthouse dating from 1835, now the Maritime Discovery Centre, and the semaphore (military site).
Pass the car park and take the passage between the old tower and the semaphore. On your left is the small Saint-Pierre Chapel, dating from the late 14th century. It hosts painting exhibitions in summer. Pass by the shelter that houses the "Papa Poydenot" lifeboat, built in 1900 (open to visitors).
(11) Continue along the shore, going around a house on the left that blocks the coastal path. You will find the path again on the right and pass a small point where there is a bronze bust bearing the inscription in Breton and French "To the brave sailors, our thoughts forever".
(12) Cross the small dyke. If the tide level does not allow this, look for a narrow passage between the houses just before it, which leads to the road. On your left, note an old windmill whose ruins still stand proudly. Continue eastwards, keeping your eyes on the large dykes that protect the port of Kérity, the end point of our maritime journey (S/E).
