Description of the walk

Parking available on the quay at the rear of Moguériec harbour (caution, work zone).

GR®34 trail markers: White and red

(S/E) With your back to the quay, return to the access road, take the stairs on the right and continue along the path overlooking the port. Turn right to continue along the quay. On your left, you will see a stone marker indicating the starting point of the Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle trail. Head towards the jetty, crossing a small sandy beach.

For safety reasons, access to the jetty is prohibited (sign). Go around a large house at the tip and join the access road to the port (be careful, the GR® sign can be misleading, as it directs you along the seafront, which is not always accessible). Follow the road to the right for about 300 metres.

(1) Turn right into the street, which continues as a path above a rocky reef, and arrive at the tip of Théven (Tévenn on the map) and go around the two houses on the left. You will reach a car park (with a view of a large pebble beach bordered by Pors Misclic Beach) popular with surfers.

(2) Turn right towards the entrance to the "Le Théven" outdoor hotel (marked as a campsite on the IGN map) then turn right. Continue along this path lined with tamarisk hedges, which now offers beautiful views of the English Channel. You will reach and walk along a fenced-in moor where a bench invites you to take a break facing the open sea.

The path continues along the rocky coast, turns left at a small sandy beach and continues along a small road following the Port Neuf cove, a haven of rest for a few boaters and a white sandy beach.

(3) Ignore the access to the cove on your right, pass the car park and continue along the path that runs alongside the ria to its end, where you turn right.

(4) Cross a small stone bridge over a stream to continue along the path on the other side of the cove. You will arrive at a large isolated house surrounded by rocky outcrops covered in flowers.

No signposts

Turn left onto the small access road to the house, continue left at the three-way junction and you will come to a new road. Follow it to the left, ignore two roads on the right, cross a road bridge, leave the access to Port Neuf cove on your left and you will reach a three-way junction.

(5) At the Port Neuf sign, turn left and follow the small road that leads to the Port Neuf beach car park.

(3) Just after the car park, turn right onto a driveway that goes uphill. Leave a northbound path on your left (large rock serving as a landmark) and continue straight ahead until you reach the Créac'h al Lia housing estate junction.

(6) First turn right then left and continue straight ahead along the road that goes around the housing estate. Continue along the road between the fields until you reach another group of houses. Turn left twice to continue along Rue du Vilar until you reach a triangular crossroads.

(7) Cross over, keep to the right and take Rue des Marins-pêcheurs, which descends towards the harbour. At the junction with the path you took on the way there, turn right and retrace your steps to the car park (S/E).

An easy route with beautiful views. The unmarked section on tarmac was particularly fast, so caution is advised.

Moguériec is a charming little port, and the Port Neuf cove is magnificent; the seaside route offers breathtaking views.

A lovely walk, preferably returning via the coastal path and continuing on to Tevenn Braz. The colours and landscapes vary depending on the tide.

A lovely, easy walk along the coast, which we extended to Tévenn Braz.

To clarify: I would add at the top with duration, distance, etc.: GR trail markers from 1 to 4, and for the return trip, it is actually from 5 to 1. As for the closed section on the coastal GR, it wasn't an issue for me because I didn't see it. Naturally, you continue along the path and can either cross the lawn to reach the Théven hotel or continue along the path. Anyway, thank you for this lovely route. Anne

Thank you for your opinion and clarification.

I don't understand your comment:
"At the top: on the descriptions, indicate the GR markings from 1 to 4 and no markings from 4 to 1". The markings are clearly indicated and the return route does not go via 4 and 1.
A GR is always marked in both directions.

Regarding point 1, on both of my visits, it was not possible to go around the houses on the right, i.e. by continuing along the coastal path. The passage was blocked when I reached the first house.
I therefore went around on the left towards the car park.
The GR route remained on the map via the coastal path, but in reality it was not possible to pass.
Has this changed?
If so, I can indicate this in my description.

Best regards

There are some points to discuss: At the top: in the descriptions, indicate the GR markings from 1 to 4 and no markings from 4 to 1. Next, the first lines for the start are not clear at all. It is sufficient to indicate: at the port, look for a marker on the left-hand side...
1) Inaccurate: because the GR route is correct, the GR is closed at the end of the lawn and joins the main path, avoiding crossing the car park.
