small passage with a nice view, and on a car-free road

Difficulty finding the start of the hike, so we chose the bay house.

The Viaduct des Ponts-Neufs is an impressive historical structure in Hillion. The viaduct was built between 1913 and 1914 by Louis Auguste Harel de La Noë for the Chemins de Fer des Côtes-du-Nord. It is an arch bridge that spans the Gouessant Valley and offers a magnificent view of the waterfalls below. The viaduct is 27 metres high and 237 metres long, including a pedestrian walkway.

Bridge is currently being renovated, otherwise a good route by bike or on foot 🦶

Today, La Grève des Courses is part of the GR34, a coastal hiking trail that allows you to discover all of Brittany’s coasts. From here, you can enjoy magnificent views of the Anse d’Yffiniac. The area is also home to mussel farms, known as “bouchots”, which are a local specialty. The Réserve Naturelle de La Baie de Saint-Brieuc itself is the largest nature reserve in Brittany.

In the 19th and 20th centuries, La Grève des Courses was a festive place where horse races and aviation meetings took place. However, it later became a wild dump where waste was thrown directly onto the sand, polluting the bay. Thanks to the efforts of environmental associations, it was transformed into a nature reserve.

The site is exceptional because it is located in the Nature Reserve which is home to a very varied fauna and flora. It can accommodate up to 40,000 migratory birds in winter. The site is also remarkable because it is located in the heart of the bay of Saint-Brieuc, the fifth bay in the world for the amplitude of its tides. The sea can recede more than 7 km! It is this natural heritage that the Maison de la Baie, classified as Maison Nature, lets you discover through its museum, its temporary exhibitions, its educational activities, its walks and its nature outings. Actions that show the richness of biodiversity, raise awareness of environmental protection and develop eco-citizen behavior. https://www.saintbrieuc-armor-agglo.bzh/sortir-et-decouvert/proteger-notre-environnement/preservation-de-la-baie/la-maison-de-la-baie

Wild and secret, the Yffiniac cove is the most advanced part of the land of the Bay of Saint-Brieuc. Located in the heart of the largest Nature Reserve in Brittany, it can be discovered along the Chemin des Grêves.
