This morning at sunrise we went on a hiking tour with my daughter again. This time we were on the GR34 near Cancale around the Pointe de Grouin. Absolutely worth seeing 👀👍.
You can find the film about the tour here:

The water would have been even nicer with the sun, but it was also such a great tour. Paths very alpine and varied. Great views, even as far as Jersey and Mont Saint Michel. As a highlight two dolphins 🐬🐬😁

A few days in Brittany are on the agenda. Our hostess names the Pointe du Grouin as a worthwhile destination. A nice hike leads along a steep rocky coast and past the bird sanctuary of Île des Landes. Beautiful bays and sandy beaches invite you to swim.

From here, we repeatedly had impressive …

Very nice hike. Not too difficult but to do with good shoes. D + about 300 m.

Nice walk with great views and some slight ups and downs. You could see the (very small) Mount St Michel at the beginning. Don't park directly at the beach (pretty expensive). There are free parking spots along the short road down.
