Departure from Perros-Guirec (Côtes-d'Armor)
While the GR®34 or "Sentier des Douaniers" is one of the best-known walks in the region, impressive with its piles of pink granite, some of which reach 20 metres in height, the Vallée des Traouïéros is more secret but remains a magical world with the Maison des Korrigans, the Auge du Lépreux, the Trou de l'Enfer and its caves. The route proposed here takes you "from pink to green" as close to nature as possible, with a touch of grey from the slate roofs of Breton houses. This is definitely a hike that will show you all the colours of the rainbow!
