Starting car park: Place des Trinitaines (behind the Tourist Office).
(Start/End) Head north-west through a passageway between the shops, which leads onto Rue du Général De Gaulle; follow this road to the right. Opposite the church, on your left, you’ll find the town hall and, in front of it, the bust of Alain-René Lesage, a writer born in Sarzeau. Continue via Place Richemont, then turn right into the tiny Place Lesage, which leads onto Rue Saint-Vincent.
(1) At number 17 on this street, a plaque marks Lesage’s birthplace and its garden, which is open to the public. Continue to the left as you leave the garden, go past the roundabout and turn right onto Chemin du Patis.
When you reach Rue de Beg Lan, turn left, pass the sports centre on your left and go under the D780 bridge via a designated underpass.
After Cohfournic, leave the track on your left and carry on towards Calzac Bas.
(2) Turn left onto the track and do the same at the next junction. Carry on straight ahead along Chemin Kloz Kerbleiz until you reach the D198.
(3) Opposite, you’ll see the Croix de Kerblay and a picnic table. Cross this road with care, take the small road opposite, then turn left straight away to follow Chemin Ar Vroel Vihan. Continue for about 1.8 km; this is the right-of-way of the old railway line.
At the crossroads, near Kerhouët-Saint-Comlombier, turn left, ignoring the dead-end on the left and taking the next turn.
(4) Follow the wide, shaded path which runs alongside the wall of the Château de Kerlévenan estate, which is not visible from the track. At the next road, turn left, then take a slight detour to the left to admire the splendid façade of the Manoir de Kerbot.
(5) Return to the road on the left and pass under the D780 through a tunnel. At the exit, turn right, then veer left to join a small road before the hamlet of Le Duer and follow this road for a few metres.
(6) Turn at a right angle to reach the coastal path. Ignore the path on the right leading to an observatory, which is not part of this route.
GR®®34Tour du Golfe signposting: White and red.
After about 200 m, there is an option to visit a viewing point on the right. This entire area is designated a quiet zone for the birdlife of the Gulf of Morbihan. (A beautiful viewpoint offering interesting sightings depending on the season – do not hesitate to go up there).
(7) Return and continue along the path which leads to the Pointe de Duer.
Continue along the path, which turns south-west. This section of the path has been fitted with wooden duckboards to make walking easier. The maritime pines also provide welcome shade. On your left, you’ll see Kergorget Castle.
(8) The path leaves the coast and climbs up to go round Kerbodec on the left.
(9) Then follow the wide path heading west. Ignore the paths on both the right and left.
No signposting.
(10) At the junction, about 100 m before the gate, leave Truscat Castle on your right (not visible from the path) and take the stony path leading uphill to the left. Walk alongside a pond and continue until you reach the cemetery.
Pass between the two sections of the cemetery and carry on straight ahead. At the next street, turn right then left to go round a car park. Carry on straight ahead along Ruelle Cavalin and cross the Place de la Mairie.
(11) Take an alleyway that goes round the chancel of the church. This leads to Rue de Poulmenach; follow it to the left to reach the car park on the right (S/E).
