From Saint‑Brieuc port to Cap d’Erquy, via Pléneuf‑Val‑André

From Saint-Brieuc to Hillion

Departure : Légué Port

Arrival : Maison de la Baie

This lively port is the perfect place for starting your adventure! On the quays in Légué Port, between pretty shipowner’s houses and local street art, take a little coffee break.  When you get to Pointe de Cesson and the bays in the Nature Reserve, the landscape becomes wilder. The colours change constantly with the tides. At Grève du Valais, in front of the huts on the cliff side, you’ll feel like a castaway. Keep moving east, to the bays of Langueux and the salt meadows. At Pointe d’Illemont, get your binoculars ready: you’re in the front seat to observe the 112 bird species that live here!

No rushing

On Hillion beaches, the walk ends gently and wonderfully: a tour of the exhibitions at Maison de la Baie, a dip in the sea, and a sunset to finish.

From Hillion to Pléneuf-Val-André

Departure : Maison de la Baie

Arrival : Port of Dahouët

Head to Pointe des Guettes for some height: Hillion bay and the mussel farms stretch out before your eyes, before the GR drifts to Bon Abri dunes, at the heart of the Nature Reserve. An incredible natural heritage awaits you here, teeming with life! Start with the “bouchot”, the stakes where mussels quietly spend their life. With the company Mytilus, you can discover them on-board the “myti’bus” and enjoy a tasting session. Or you could wait at Jospinet port until it’s mussels and chips time? After your batteries have charged, you’ll arrive at the little port of Dahouët, tucked behind the large Val-André beach.

Sailors for a day…

In Dahouët, hop on board La Pauline*: a traditional sailing boat to discover Saint-Brieuc in a different way. Hoist the sails (red) and glide elegantly through the sea, but don’t forget to reserve in advance!
