A beautiful hike, the descent is indeed reserved for experienced hikers who are not prone to vertigo.
I did it with a small dog, who needed help on a few difficult sections with chains.

We set out to make a circular loop, following the directions in the guidebook. However, we can confirm that the descent is challenging, and even if you don't suffer from vertigo, it's still daunting because it's difficult to see where to put your feet when you're on the side of a cliff (let alone finding the path down). In our group, we had some people who were uncomfortable on this type of "terrain" and others who were very experienced (in climbing and mountaineering). However, we decided to give up and return by the same path we had taken on the way up.
Like others, it is probably better to do the circular in the opposite direction, as the climb is easier on technical sections like these.

Very beautiful hike, very difficult section (marked in the description) – not for those who are afraid of heights. The iron stairs leading down the steep slope are very far apart. Another negative point is access to the car parks, which are impossible to find, so you have to park along the road, but then you get an unpleasant surprise: a fine sticker on your windscreen.. Positive point: superb 360-degree view. Pleasant return to the starting point after struggling to descend the walls with chains fixed to the rock to help us move forward. Caution advised.

Very nice view from the three crosses.
Not to be attempted the day after rain! Today it was touch and go on the chained sections.

Very beautiful parish specific to Brittany hike, probably easier in the opposite direction.

The trail has recently been re-marked, so just follow the red and white markings. It was hot, but we knew that going in. Good shoes with good grip are essential. Once you reach the three crosses, the view is sublime, but you have to work for it. This is not a hike to do with children, as there are some technical and challenging sections. We'll do it again in the autumn when it's a bit cooler.

I went hiking with my dog (a 4-year-old Australian Shepherd, extremely agile on his feet as he is used to challenging hikes – a real mountain goat) very early in the morning to avoid the high temperatures. I remained sceptical about this route and the opinions of previous hikers, even though the view at the 3 crosses is absolutely magnificent.
This hike is extremely dangerous because it is very unsafe. The first part is great, quite fun if you like climbing and the difficulty that comes with a little adventure, but as soon as you descend and tackle the second part of this circular... Make sure you have a strong heart and sure footing on the descent! There are many, many passages along the rock face that I consider dangerous, with only a few chains to secure your grip and bars that serve as ladders in some places... My dog, who is very agile, young and in good shape, found himself in difficulty more than once on this second part. We found ourselves in some very technical and complex situations for those hiking with their dogs. This hike is absolutely not recommended for those who are not fit or healthy. I really regret that there are no warnings about the danger of the route. I am used to challenging hikes, but I came back feeling that I had been put in a situation of unnecessary risk. Nowhere is there any indication of the technical difficulty or danger of this steep descent. My two main pieces of advice would therefore be 1) not to go there if you are not used to it or feeling steady on your feet that day, and 2) to do the circular in the other direction. It is always easier to climb/ascend difficult passages than to descend them, especially without safety equipment.

We had trouble parking, but on the way back we saw that there is a large car park at point 4, and a few spaces between points 4 and 5. A beautiful, technical hike. A light rain began to fall during our descent. It remained passable even with the cables wet. Beautiful views, and the fact that it is circular makes the hike even more interesting.

A challenging route, reserved for experienced climbers, but what a thrill to "scale" the rocks! Magnificent 360° view.
Dangerous for children!

Very beautiful hike but difficult... in some places you have to use chains, no other choice.

A superb walk. Between points 2 and 3, you can extend the walk slightly by following the blue dots (be careful when you reach the foot of the cliff, do not go straight ahead, go down to the left... going straight ahead is dangerous without equipment).
There are a few sections with cables and chains, but nothing too dizzying, accessible to most people.
