A superb coastal walk towards a major tourist attraction: Pointe du Grouin. During this round-trip route, you’ll discover the beauty of this coastline from different angles, depending on the light and the tide. The view of Fort Du Guesclin, which becomes an island at high tide, perfectly illustrates these varied landscapes.

Departure from Saint-Coulomb (Ille-et-Vilaine)
A nice little walk, partly on the Sentier des Douaniers on the GR®34. Superb view from the headlands, especially at low tide when the rocks are exposed and covered with sea spray. In good weather, the view stretches as far as Cap Fréhel to the west and Pointe du Grouin and the Herpin lighthouse to the east.
