Description of the walk

_ Start _: At the top of Saint-Suliac (La Ville Neuve). Easy parking outside tourist season.

(S/E) Follow the road towards the ocean (west), leaving the houses on your left, then continue on the path in its continuation as far as La Vierge. The path bends slightly to the left.

(1) Go downhill under the chapel, turn right and follow the path with the Rance on your left, following the yellow markers. Walk along the coast, between beach and path depending on the tide, to the Pointe de Garel, then on the path only to the Pointe du Puits: ''an ideal place to take a break with a beautiful view.

(2) Continue North-East on the path to the fishponds. Walk along them to the beach, then along the beach to rejoin the path a little further on.

(3) Follow this path quickly to get past the smell of the sewage treatment plant... Return to the end of the bay, with a view of the old Beauchet tide mill.

(4) Continue right on the D117 through Saint-Suliac to the harbour.

(5). Take the dike on the right to the end and continue along the beach. A path leads up to the Vierge.

(1) Return to the car park, following the path in the opposite direction (S/E).
