About

In Piriac-sur-Mer, this loop gives pride of place to the ocean, from the sand of the beach to the coastal path above the cliffs. Your gaze sweeps over the streaked rocks rising from the water, from the most monumental to those covered by the waves. Seabirds huddle against the gusts. The path leads to the dune, covered in low vegetation battered by sea spray, before the little harbour appears behind the rocks. The route passes Saint-Michel beach and the centre of Piriac. The loop is 10 km long; allow about 2 h 30 of walking. The stated level is easy. Start: the point marked on the map, in Piriac-sur-Mer. The waymarking is yellow. The official route, published by the Loire-Atlantique département, is shown on the map and can be downloaded as a GPX file to follow on your phone.
