On 6 June 2021, I hiked the Pointe de la Torche route to St Guénolé and back via the Lescors marshes with a group of 27 hikers. It wasn't too difficult to reach the small bridge that takes us into the Lescors marshes. Following the ditch on the right, we came across a herd of cows and an electric fence. We had to find the path further to the left, which took us off the original route. The long straight stretch from the roundabout to Pointe de la Torche is a bit dangerous, especially at the weekend. We joined the coastal path for safety reasons.
The passage by the square tower is a very interesting spot. The coastal path is very beautiful, but the marsh is not very attractive.

Some parts of the hike (leaving Saint Guénolé) were not very interesting, but the coastal path is very beautiful and the marshland area is surprising.

Thank you for your comments.
I looked at your suggestion on the map.
I think it should be possible, but I have only described the route I have tried myself.

There are many possible variations throughout this area; the difficulty lies in describing them clearly enough, as landmarks are not always easy to identify.

Personally, I have mapped out several routes in this area that may overlap to some extent.

Best regards

A beautiful hike, particularly along the dunes of Toul Gwin to the port of St Guénolé and in the Lescors marsh. The unmarked section (points 4 to 8) is not particularly interesting (apart from the Tour Carrée tower), but you have to go through it to reach the marsh. On the way back, to avoid the long, straight, fairly busy tarmac road, we preferred to take a path through the Palue de Kerloc'h and join the path along the dunes. Wouldn't it be possible, from point 9, to continue through the marsh to reach the crossroads of Rue des Tulipes, Port Dibord and Kerloc'h and take the Kerloc'h path on the right (NW), just crossing the long straight road to reach the Toul Gwin dunes through the Palue de Kerloc'h?

A very nice hike!
We didn't have any particular problems finding our way. We chose to park in the Pors Carn car park, not far from the prehistory museum.
I particularly enjoyed the walk through the marshes. Thank you!

Thank you for your comment.
My route does not go through the port because I offer another route that does go through the port.

Kind regards

Part 4-6 by 5 is a little dull: we might have preferred to go further south through the town centre and the harbour.
It's a beautiful walk, especially between 3 and 4 with the rocks of St-Guénolé.

Please note:
There are two car parks located at Pointe de la Torche.
To be even more precise, I have added "on the Porz Karn beach side"
Everyone will be happy

Hello,

You indicate that the start is at Pointe de la Torche (in the municipality of Plomeur!), but number 1 on the map is at the Pors Carn beach car park. It's not a big deal, but should it be corrected?

On the map, the Start/Finish (S/F) waypoint is indeed at the Pointe de la Torche car park (next to the restaurants, shops, etc.)

Best regards

Beautiful stretches along the coast and through the marshes, but the section in St Guénolé is not as good, despite the beauty of the square tower.
You indicate a starting point at Pointe de la Torche (in the commune of Plomeur!), but number 1 on the map is at the Pors Carn beach car park. No big deal, but should this be corrected?

Thank you for your comment.
I have revised the description of this hike, which is a bit old.
I have added some details and corrected an error (missing word).
I hope this will make it clearer for future hikers.

Best regards

The ballad is very beautiful, but some details can be interpreted in several ways. We managed to get to stage 7 with a few errors, but we never found stage 8. Thank you, however, for suggesting this ballad.
