Thanks AJ, I have been looking at the other book and I can see that route is quite a bit longer but it is useful to look at them both so I can decide on my route.I was planning to do this a couple of years ago but didn't. As well as the Lepere guide I got "Le Guide du Tro Breiz" by Association Les Chemins du Tro Breiz et Bernard Rio.
The two routes differ, so you might like to get the other guide as well.
Thanks , I will.Hi Pilgrim 122,
Do post after you have done this walk. It is definitely on my list.
Would love to hear how you make out!
Good luck!
has anyone walked this pilgrimage route in Brittany?
Thanks NavyBlue, I was wondering whether there would be any other pilgrims. It would be nice if I met one or two on my journey.Hello Pilgrim 122,
I started walking the Tro Breiz last year, between Quimper and Saint-Pol-de-Léon. I will resume this year between Saint-Pol and Tréguier. All this within the "marche d'été" (collective organized walk, with some 1,000 to 1,500 pilgrims or walkers), beginning of August, with (optional) religious and/or regionalist features. Solves all the logistic problem. But you need 7 years for looping the loop.
Must be quite solitary in the meantime.
I will be glad to help as far as I can.
Hello,
I have no pilgrim passport, which is not delivered to the "marche d'été" participants.
But there is a passport for individual walkers : http://www.pelerin.com/Pelerinages/...-pratiques/Balisage-budget-conseils-pratiques, as well as a "compostella" equivalent for all.
The association has recently moved from Saint-Pol to Carnoët, which might slow any answer from them.
Can you tell me how the section you did was , in particular the monts d'arree? How steep was this section?Hello Pilgrim 122,

Thanks!The section is globally easy. Some limited ups and downs, all of them manageable. We "climbed" the "Roche de Feu" (Rock of Fire...) in the Monts d'Arrée, an easy path, nice landscape around : 1st minute of this video https://www.youtube.com/embed/0c8GPGxe3DQ?rel=0&autoplay=1
A short descent was equipped with a rope, just for the fun of it. You could use stairs alongside instead...
A couple of questions on logistics:
How many people in group each day?
What accommodation is available for all those people?
What are the daily distances?
It is a very different experience than most of us have experienced.
I completed the Tro Breiz as planned this spring following mostly the route suggested in the Lepere guide.Hi Pilgrim 122,
