Parking de l'église Saint Pierre, Ploumoguer.

The circuit is clockwise.

Completely isolated, almost right on the shore, this pretty little chapel owes its existence, according to legend, to a shipwreck that took place opposite it in the 11th century. Sailors from an English or Irish ship miraculously reached the nearby cove despite the storm, as their ship was sinking. The captain then vowed to build a chapel to Saint Méen on the coast, and from then on he lived in a nearby farmhouse. As always, there is no historical record to support this legend. But it is nevertheless plausible.

The beach at Illien lies in the heart of a valley, a peaceful spot that calls for relaxation.
Set between two hills, the beach is generally sheltered from the wind.

The rocks on this part of the shore are very different from the others: instead of the usual "Kerhornou" gneiss, and over a width of some thirty meters, blackish-gray vertical slabs appear.

This is an exceptional vein, visible only in a few rare places on the coast.
