(S/E) Start: car park at the end of the harbour, opposite the beach
GR34: White and red markings.
Turn left onto the Jim Sévellec esplanade, which continues along the coastal path (markedGR®34and orange dot for the path). Follow it towards Pointe du Grand Gouin.
(1) Continue towards Pointe du Toulinguet, passing close to Porzh Naye beach.
(2) At the car park, turn left onto a small road leading to Anse de Pen Hat. Do not continue along the path that climbs towards the semaphore enclosure (military terrain, no access). The IGN map is inaccurate at this point.
(3) Walk along the dune, following the path that climbs towards Pointe de Pen Hir. Shortly before the Battle of the Atlantic Memorial Museum, turn right to cross the Kerbonn battery and climb the steps to the left of the museum.
(4) Go around it and head towards Pointe de Pen Hir, passing close to the Free French Memorial.
(5) At the point, you can enjoy a superb view of the Tas de Pois.
(6) After going around the point, head down towards Plage du Veryac'h, following the coastal path.
(7) Cross the car park and take the stony path overlooking the large beach.
At low tide, it is best to walk along Plage du Veryac'h and Lam Saoz beaches. This will take you along the cliffs, which are classified as a Geological Nature Reserve. A path leads back up to the car park.
(8) Pass above the small Lam Saoz beach and continue along the path that climbs steadily towards Pointe de la Tavelle.
(9) Continue towards Pointe de Portzen, which you will leave on your right. Shortly after this point, leave theGR® and the coastal path (barrier or what remains of it).
PR® signposting: Yellow.
(10) Turn left onto a new trail that leads to a small road at the village of Kerguélen.
In this village, turn left and continue along the road that crosses the village of Lannilien, where you turn right.
(11) At the exit, on the left, is the small Saint-Julien Chapel, an ideal place for a break in the shade. Return to the road and continue left to join the D8 near a picnic area.
(12) Follow this road, turning left. This road is very busy in summer, so take care! Continue for about 300 m and after a house, turn right onto a grassy path and follow it. It joins a road which you cross and continue straight ahead.
(13) Cross another road, the D55, and continue straight ahead to reach the hamlet of Rigonou. Go around it on the right, then turn left and then right onto a small shaded path which you follow until you reach the D355 road to Quelern.
GR34: White and red markings.
(14) Turn left and follow this road for 100 metres until you reach the junction with the coastal path andGR®34on your right. Follow it to the left to reach the Port of Camaret.
(15) Follow Quai Kléber along the harbour to return to the starting point (S/E).
