Singletrack Along the Stream

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Narrow path along the stream, which leads idyllically through dense vegetation. The path is also popular with walkers, so drive slowly and be considerate.

Marais des Salines Wooden Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Marais Bridge is a reinforced concrete bridge built at the beginning of the 20th century for the Yffignac-Matignon railway line of the Petit Train des Côtes du Nord. It was designed by the architect Louis Harel de la Noë and is part of a series of works which have made it possible to develop tourism in the department. The bridge has been recently restored and hosts the greenway and the Euro Vélo 4.

The bridge offers a view of the Plurien lagoon, a marsh that lives to the rhythm of the tides and is home to lush vegetation. It is an ideal place for walking and observing nature. The GR®34 also passes over the bridge and leads to fine sandy beaches and pink sandstone cliffs.

Saint-Michel Beach and Saint-Michel Islet

Highlight • Beach

The small, picturesque chapel on the island is a landmark of the region and is visible from afar. It can be reached via a headland at low tide. There is more information and pictures about it in my travel documentary from 2018:

Guen Beach

Highlight • Beach

Plage du Guen is part of the protected landscape surrounding Cap d'Erquy. Nestled between gently rolling heathland slopes, this unspoiled beach reveals its tranquil, pristine side. Fine, pale sand and the changing colors of the sea dominate the landscape, while heather, broom, and pine trees grow in the hinterland. At low tide, rocks and small tidal pools emerge, and the expansive view across the bay extends all the way to Cap Fréhel. Since the beach is only accessible via narrow paths and lacks any tourist infrastructure, it remains a quiet spot—ideal for hikes, nature observation, and moments of tranquility by the sea.
