On the south coast of the Pointe du Croisic, on the D45, park at the junction with Rue de Brocéliande, opposite the small beach of Baie des Sables Menus.
Please note ! This circuit is not signposted.
(S/E) Cross the D45 to join the coastal path and, facing the ocean, turn left, heading east. Follow the winding path between the road and the rocks. Pass behind a house. Further on, find the Parc de Penn Avel on your left.
(1) Enter the park for a short loop, a Mediterranean interlude, then exit and return to the coastal path. Head south-east along Port Lin beach. You will then come to the Baie du Crucifix and its small beach. The path comes out opposite the cross at a crossroads between Avenue Henri Becquerel, Rue Verdi and Avenue du Crucifix.
(2) Turn left onto Avenue du Crucifix. Continue to the end of the street to find the Chapelle du Crucifix on your right. Turn left onto Rue Emmanuel Provost and continue to the traffic circle.
(3) Turn right onto Boulevard Général Leclerc, arriving opposite the station. Cross Rue du Traict, then Rue des Poilus, and follow the latter to the left for a few meters before forking off to the right, below Mont Esprit. Paths on the left take you up to the Mont Esprit spiral lookout, where you can enjoy views over the Traict du Croisic and the Presqu'île de Guérande.
(4) Return to the path and head north, soon reaching the port. Turn left onto the street and follow the harbour on your right. You've reached the city center. Continue along the harbor, either as close as possible to the water, or on the other side of the road along the stores, restaurants and art galleries.
(5) At the end of the harbor, continue along the coast along Mont Lénigo. Keep your left to climb to the top of this small hillock, then descend on the other side and follow Allée Jacques Guilleux to the lifeguards' hangar and the Tréhic jetty.
(6) Weather permitting, walk back and forth along the jetty to the lighthouse. Then continue straight ahead to the street and turn right. Shortly afterwards, pass to the north of the Océarium, then cross the Saint-Goustan district to get back to the Côte Sauvage and the coastal path.
(7) Continue along the coastal path, as close as possible to the rocks. The path turns south to reach the tip of the Pointe du Croisic.
(8) Back on the south coast, continue along the path, pass the Fort de la Pointe, then continue eastward along the coastal path to the Rue de Brocéliande crossroads (S/E).
