About us

Departing from the historic town center, the Pointe de Rosmelec trail runs alongside the River Daoulas. The river is gradually revealed along the way. The scenery changes with the tides and the weather.
From the pointe de Rosmelec, a full view to the west! The port of Kersanton and the Logonna-Daoulas peninsula come into view. A bucolic place where it's good to stop for a picnic and why not take a dip at high tide.

Towards the small cove

The path then climbs to the left and enters the undergrowth overlooking the shore. Continue along the shoreline (caution: do not approach too close to the banks due to rock erosion). This part of the RiviĆØre de Daoulas is renowned for its rich birdlife.

Along the riverbank

The trail passes through an old Kersanton granite quarry (caution: wood and stone steps) before arriving at the Pointe de RosmƩlec beach. This "remarkable" area (

In Rosmelec

Walk to the embankment of the departmental road to Logonna-Daoulas, go up along the field and turn left onto the small road leading to the hamlet of Vernuec.

Daoulas

Turn right and follow the road. Go past the gƮtes (large restored farmhouse) to
KernĆ©ĆÆz (farm buildings on the left). The local path runs between the buildings, but for your convenience, the owners suggest that you take a blue signposted route around the farm. Then join the coastal path down the sunken path (sometimes slippery). At the fork in the road, turn right and return to the village.
