Description of the walk

Park in the car park near the Perros Hamon Chapel.
You can visit this traditional chapel dedicated to those lost at sea.

(S/E) Take the street that runs from the car park towards the sea until you reach a Fork in the road.

(1) Leave the road and take the path between the houses. Throughout this section, admire Paimpol Bay with a view of the Kerroc’h Tower. Cross the Route de Toull Broc’ch and continue along the coastal path.

(2) Don’t hesitate to head down to the right to find, about 50 metres away, a wash house, then retrace your steps to rejoin the path. Pass Porz Even and arrive at the Chapel of the Trinity.

(3) Follow the path through the ferns; it’s uphill but easy, with several viewpoints over Launay Bay, until you reach a Fork in the road.

(4) Take a detour to the left to the Croix des Veuves, which offers a magnificent panoramic view of the sea, including a glimpse of part of the Île de Bréhat.

(5) Return to the fork in the path.

(4) Continue straight on along the road to reach the Chapel of Perros Hamon (S/E).

A pleasant little walk.

Beautiful views of Paimpol Bay first, and then of the Bréhat archipelago.

Don’t miss the viewpoint at the Croix des Veuves. (point 5)

The final stretch (between point 4 and the finish) is along the road...

⚑Departure from Ploubazlanec (Côtes-d'Armor)
This hike offers fabulous scenery from start to finish, with some particularly remarkable viewpoints. Requires two vehicles, one in the small car park at the start of Kerpalud, the other at the port of Loguivy de la Mer. Otherwise, return via country roads and an additional 4 km. The path is accessible in all seasons but requires a good level of fitness due to the five climbs involved.

This hike is worth doing in any season, given the rich heritage you will encounter. It is even better in spring and summer when the coastline is particularly flowery (agapanthus, hydrangeas, etc.).

From the port of Paimpol, once famous as the departure point for the Grand Cod Fishery with the Terre-Neuvas, and now known for its "Sailors' Songs" festival, we set off for Pointe de l'Arcouest, where the pier for the Île de Bréhat is located, and then on to Loguivy-de-la-Mer. We leave the shores of the English Channel for the mouth of the Trieux. Finally, after crossing the Pointe, we return to Paimpol to explore its pedestrianised streets.

⚑Departure from Paimpol (Côtes-d'Armor)
In Breton, "glaz" refers to a colour found in natural elements, between blue, green and grey. It accompanies us on this route. The grey of the granite houses at the start and the mudflats at low tide. The blue-green of the bay, depending on the weather and the tides, which can be admired from the Kerroc'h tower. After Paimpol, the seaside town, comes Paimpol, the vegetable garden. The green-grey of the cabbage and artichoke fields. The little paths take us back to the old town where we can stroll, refresh ourselves or enjoy a crêpe.
