The stages of your journey:
1️⃣ Station Bee's → Plouharnel
As soon as you leave the Toul-Garros area, take the paths and small roads towards the South-West. You pass near the Chapelle de Locmaria and reach Ploemel , the first town crossed on this route.
You then head towards Plouharnel , and enjoy a well-deserved break at the site of the Dolmens of Mané Kerioned on the edge of the Auray-Quiberon axis which you cross while remaining vigilant.
A few more kilometers in the heart of the Breton countryside where you pass through many villages. As you approach Plouharnel, you will discover the Abbey of Saint Michel de Kergonan , a Benedictine monastery, with its majestic buildings. You then cross the village and here you are already at the entry point to the Peninsula, along the Anse de Plouharnel .
2️⃣ Plouharnel - Quiberon
As soon as you enter the Peninsula, you take the V45, also called La Littorale, at the level of the Remains of the Atlantic Wall of Bégo and its numerous concrete structures bearing direct witness to the role of the Peninsula during the Second World War, but also of the Chouannerie Museum where numerous pieces are exhibited retracing the history of the Western Wars from the French Revolution to the first third of the 19th century.
You will then follow the road leading to Quiberon for about 7 km on the secure cycle path, with just a small deviation at the level of the town of Penthièvre allowing you to admire its Grande Plage. You will also pass at the foot of the Fort de Penthièvre which today serves as a commando training and initiation center for the French army.
Once past the isthmus, you quickly turn right to reach the west coast of the Peninsula. You will admire the pretty little port of Portivy , the entry point to the Côte Sauvage with its countless viewpoints. You are off for more than 10 km of breathtaking landscapes but where vigilance is still required: even in calm weather, the numerous cliffs and currents of the rare beaches of the Côte Sauvage can be dangerous. The Pointe du Percho offers an exceptional view of this stunning nature. Don't miss the opportunity to admire the sumptuous Arch of Port-Blanc at low tide. Take a break at the superb spots of Port Bara or Port Rhu, take the time to enjoy the view and the invigorating air from the small beaches and overhangs that shape the coast up to the Turpault Castle which marks the separation between the wild coast and the town of Quiberon . A few more pedal strokes and you will arrive in the heart of the town in front of the Grande Plage or near the Port-Mara pier from where the shuttles and ferries leave for the islands of Houat, Hoedic and Belle-Ile. Following the coast, you will quickly reach the east coast of the Peninsula and you will go up to Port Haliguen , an ideal place for a lunch break after having traveled 43 km.
3️⃣Quiberon → Bee's Station
After this well-deserved break and having enjoyed Quiberon and its treasures, head to the station to board the emblematic train of the Presqu'île, the Tire-Bouchon which will take you back to the Ploemel-Belz station , a stone's throw from your starting point.
