Through the port of Perros-Guirec and the beach of Trestraou, arrival at the charming beach of Saint-Guirec and its legendary oratory, which testifies to the passage of the abbot Saint Guirec in the 7th century. Between the beaches of Trestraou and Saint-Guirec, you will discover a sumptuous landscape where the rocky chaos of Ploumanac’h can be heard on more than 25 hectares.

Day 4

Day 5

Kerenoc – Trébeurden (20.5 km)
From the golf course, where it is interesting to see the covered alley and the dolmen facing the sea, you reach the Renaissance church of Saint-Samson, then the Christianized menhir of Saint Uzec. The nearby Ile Grande, which you reach by a path that crosses the foreshore, invites you to visit its ornithological center. To the north, the pebbles and sand offer an alternation of beaches where the dunes shelter you from the wind.

Day 6

Trébeurden – Lannion (20 km)
From the estuary of the Léguer to Lannion, a new landscape, not quite terrestrial and no longer really marine: a towpath which, before they were equipped with engines, allowed boats arriving from the open sea, pulled by horses, to reach the commercial city of Lannion. The rich half-timbered houses bear witness to the flourishing past of this city which, in the 20th century, adapted to become the Mecca of telecommunications in France.
