walking

Hiking on the GR 34 footpath, you'll find walking, cycling, riding tours with the scanned maps. These maps will be easily printed.

You have the choice to walk wherever you want: on the seaside, in the countryside, in the woods. There are nice and varied landscapes everywhere.

On the shore:
The GR34 footpath goes along the town of Etables/Mer, it used to be a lane for customs to watch the goods coming by boat.
You can only walk, it is forbidden to go cycling for safety reasons and not to spoil nature.
Walking along this path, you'll find out our fine sand beaches ("plage des Godelins" and "plage du Moulin"), the Chapel "Notre-Dame de l’Espérance", that overlooks the sea. You'll have a nice view on the St Quay Isles and the Bay of St Brieuc.
