Wild hike on the GR34 from Douarnenez to Audierne

From the small port of Tréboul, you join the GR34, which alternates between steep cliffs and secluded coves. The path follows the curves of the coastline, offering ever-changing views of the ocean, between wave-battered rocks and vegetation typical of the Breton coast. The sea air accompanies your steps through gorse, heather, and pebbles polished by time. At the end of the day, the hike concludes at Pointe du Millier, where the lighthouse stands guard over the vast expanse of the sea. Return to Douarnenez for the night.

This day hike plays with the terrain: steep cliffs and descents to the ocean punctuate the route. You'll cross the Cap Sizun nature reserve, between wild moors and sweeping views of the Atlantic. Depending on conditions and your preference, a break is possible on the unspoiled beaches of Pors Péron or Beuzec. Along the way, the Pointe de Kastel Koz and the Castel-ar-Roc'h promontory offer breathtaking panoramas of the rugged coastline. At the end of the day, transfer to the Baie des Trépassés for the night.

You continue your journey along the GR34, still in the heart of the Cap Sizun nature reserve. Your first stop is at Ti Félix, a typical Breton coastal house, before reaching Pointe de Brézellec, perched above the waves. After passing Théolen beach, the path climbs towards Pointe du Van, often compared to Pointe du Raz, but wilder and more secluded. At the end of the trail, the Baie des Trépassés (Bay of the Dead) is revealed, open to the ocean and swept by westerly winds. Overnight stay.

At daybreak, the Pointe du Raz, a designated Grand Site National, reveals itself in a peaceful atmosphere, punctuated by the cries of seagulls and the flight of cormorants. Opposite, the Île de Sein appears on the horizon, dominated by its lighthouse. The path then follows a gentler coastline, bordered by coastal meadows, a stark contrast to the rugged landscapes of the previous days. Upon arriving in Audierne, a stop at the local fish farm offers the opportunity to discover over fifty years of expertise in seafood: lobsters, brown crabs, sea bass, and turbot are carefully raised there.

The stay ends after breakfast at the hotel. A former cod-fishing port oriented towards Newfoundland, Audierne has evolved while preserving its maritime identity. Today, its quays welcome fishing boats and pleasure sailboats in a lively yet peaceful atmosphere. Before departing, enjoy the morning ambiance with a final coffee overlooking the harbor.
