Hiking
This wonderful circular hike, around 16 kilometers long, first takes you through a lot of forest. You hike through the dense deciduous forest of the Bois de Beauport and often walk along streams and water bodies. The paths are often deeply cut or bordered by dense fern hedges. Sometimes you also go through tunnels formed by the ivy that is rampant here everywhere.
Even by the sea, on the GR34, you still walk through the forest in places. And this section is actually quite strenuous, as it goes up and down stairs.
The Abbaye de Beauport offers the most beautiful imaginable conclusion at the end of the hike. For a small entrance fee you can visit the facility and the exhibition. Which in turn is very appealing and the essential descriptions are available in six languages. Let yourself be surprised - the monastery and the garden are simply overwhelming.

Church of Notre-Dame de Kerfot
Highlight • Other
According to legend, the chapel was the site of many wonders in the Middle Ages.
During the pinnacle of fishing in the 19th century, fishermen in particular invoke the Mother of God of Kerfot.
A typical church for this area. The car park next door is also a good starting point for an extensive exploration of the natural forest, which extends to the monastery Beauport.

Trail Reviews
Varied hike including part of the Sentier des Douaniers, but unfortunately with poor views of the coast. The ruins of Beaufort Abbey were impressive.
The recommendation for this successful forest hike came from Anette https://www.komoot.de/tour/74591854 - thank you! Everywhere real juicy May green - nice 🤗 The ground is very soaked in places, but usually a path succeeds at the edge. We don't meet any other hikers- weird. Komoot offers a weather forecast, today it is 100% wrong - it was 0% rain instead of 100%. Which was ok- predictions on the coast are difficult. Finally, a green piece on the GR34. I get interested in oyster farming and learn that as early as 2,000 BC. the Greeks farmed oysters...
