Promenade de la Guette

- By car, you can park at the Quai des Terres Neuvas car park or, as a last resort, at Dahouët Pond.
- By bus, the 202 Plévenon – Pléneuf-Val-André – Saint-Brieuc service stops at “Dahouët Le Port”, as does the Terre & Mer 3 service: Pléneuf-Val-André > Lamballe-Armor.
During the peak summer season (early July to late August), the “Les Estivales – 5” shuttle bus serves the same stop.

(S/E) From the Quai des Terres Neuvas car park, head towards the lock, cross the bridge and walk along the Étang de Dahouët to the small wooden bridge.

(1) Cross the Pont de la Flora and turn left towards the road. Cross the road opposite to the left and walk up Rue Haute de la Vigne to the Chapelle de Dahouët.

(2) Turn left to walk past the chapel and continue straight on along Rue du Corps de Garde. After about 200 metres, take Allée des Caps Horniers on the right.

(3) Carry on straight ahead along Allée du Champ de la Croix and continue straight on down to Rue de Lamballe. Turn left onto Rue des Vagues towards the seafront promenade.

(4) Walk along the seafront promenade to the left until, after 50 metres, you turn left again onto Rue des Sablons. Keep to the right before the steps to take the path leading to the GR®34. Follow this path along the coast.

(5) Once you reach the oratory, continue along the harbour until you return to the car park (S/E).

You will find picnic tables at Dahouët Pond, so at the start or end of your walk.

There are other toilet facilities along the route: there are some at the Dahouët Maritime Heritage Workshop Museum, at the Murs Blancs water sports centre and at Dahouët Pond.

At the start of your route, you’ll walk alongside Dahouët Pond, where the River Flora flows into the lake. It is home to a wonderful variety of birds, including ducks, cormorants and moorhens. Don’t miss our pair of barnacle geese, who have settled here for the year.

The harbour, now mainly a marina, was once a fishing port from which sailors set out for Newfoundland and Iceland in search of cod. If you’re lucky, you might spot the Pauline, an old sailing ship modelled on a vessel from that era, a legacy of that past.

The Dahouët Chapel, built to provide a place of worship for local residents, and the Notre-Dame de la Garde Oratory, dedicated to protecting sailors, are also reminders of this significant past that has left its mark on the town.
