SPLENDID: I did it against the original route.
We bring you the hike not to be missed under any circumstances! By parking in the Cap d'Erquy car park, follow the signs which will take you up to the blue lakes. The old pink sandstone quarries in which they were formed give way to a moor where heather rubs shoulders with …

April 8, 2025,Boucle Les Plages Sauvages - Erquy

A fairly easy loop with good physical condition. Very well marked (yellow arrows - Les Plages Sauvages) except that we did it in reverse and therefore may have been a little more difficult. Having done it at the beginning of April, the heathers were not yet in bloom to be amazed. But even without that, the landscapes are splendid.

This time, on the other side of the bay of Saint Brieuc in Erquy where we meet friends on holiday here and to discover another aspect of the fantastic Breton coast. Short loop but great impressions and swimming in the rollers of the raging English Channel today.
