_ Start _: Follow the D201 coastal road to the Rafale campsite and Touesse beach.
The car park is located 300m from the main road.
(S/E) Leave the car park by the access road and, after 50m, at the crow's feet, turn right onto the road closed to all traffic.
The road soon becomes a gravel path. Follow it around a bend to the left, then to the right, and you're on the Route de la Guimorais.
Turn right and continue around the bend to the left towards the entrance to Camping des Chevrets.
(1) Leave the campsite entrance on your right and take the gravel path on your left.
Follow the foreshore to the road. At this point, depending on the height of the sea, either descend onto the foreshore or continue along the road or its left-hand side (a path may be visible along the fence).
(2) At the car park, return to the road and, after a chicane, enter the Île Besnard protected site. Follow the path around the peninsula, skirting the coastline as closely as possible.
The tour of the island ends at the car park. In the middle of the car park, turn left up the log staircase that leads to the path running alongside the road and beach.
(3) Go round it, leaving the bar/restaurant on your left, then, as the road bends, take the coastal path on your right.
Ignore all paths and tracks on the right.

(4) Follow the path as it turns South-East then South, always keeping close to the shore.
(5) Take the left-hand path and follow the meandering path.
No waymakers
(6) Leave the GR® and turn right up the log and sand staircase to the car park (S/E).
