The route
To reach Quiberon Peninsula from Erdeven, small, maintained country paths lead you through big dunes via the historic village of Sainte-Barbe, Le Bégo Dunes and the Fort of Penthièvre.
There is a cycle track along the D 768 road between Penthièvre Fort and Penthièvre village.
Do take great care cycling down the Penthièvre Isthmus along the D 768 road.
At the end of the cycle track, at the entrance to Penthièvre, follow a stretch of road along the seafront.
At Kerhostin village, get onto the greenway alongside the ‘Tire-Bouchon’ railway track, then, after 1km, you join the Côte Sauvage coast, following it via a mix of stretches of road shared with traffic and of greenways leading into Quiberon town.
