Hiking the GR34: Conquering Brittany’s Mythical Custom Officers’ Path

The GR34, better known as the Custom Officers’ Path (Sentier des Douaniers), is much more than a simple hiking route. Voted several times as France’s favourite long-distance trail, it allows you to explore and discover the entire Brittany coastline over more than 2,000 kilometres. From the rugged cliffs of Finistère to the hidden coves of Morbihan, walking this path offers an unforgettable holiday filled with ocean views, diverse landscapes, and fresh sea sprays.

Whether you are an experienced hiker looking for a multi-day challenge or a casual walker in search of breathtaking scenery, the Custom Officers’ Path can be enjoyed at your own pace. And after a great day of walking, what could be better than returning to the comfort of a warm and welcoming accommodation?

Where to Stay Along the GR34: Your Terres de France Stops in Brittany

To avoid the stress of planning and to travel light, the ideal solution is to choose a comfortable and strategic base. At Terres de France, we have several holiday residences and apart-hotels ideally located near the most beautiful sections of the GR34. Discover our havens of peace to recharge your batteries:

Domaine de la Baie in Audierne (Finistère)

After exploring the wild trails of Cap Sizun or watching the waves crash against the Pointe du Raz, you will love returning to the peace of our cottages and relaxing in our heated indoor pool, or our outdoor pool during the summer. Located at the tip of South Finistère, this is the perfect spot for lovers of an authentic, raw Brittany.

As a bonus, check out our travel guide for Audierne.

L’Appart’hôtel Brest

Looking to combine coastal hiking with a vibrant cultural scene? In just a few minutes from our apart-hotel, you can reach the GR34 trails that border the magnificent Brest roadstead, the Pointe Saint-Mathieu, or the wild coastline of Le Conquet. In the evening, enjoy the flexibility of an apartment with a fully equipped kitchen right in the heart of the maritime city.

L’Appart’hôtel Quimper

From our apart-hotel in the cultural capital of Cornouaille, you are less than 20 minutes away from the beaches and coastal paths of Bénodet, Fouesnant, or the sublime Concarneau Bay. It is the perfect option for easily exploring several sections of the GR34 while enjoying the charm of Quimper’s pedestrian streets and traditional crêperies in the evening.

Discover Quimper with our travel guide.

Domaine de Kerioche & Domaine du Moulin Neuf (Morbihan)

Nestled in the heart of a lush green park on the edge of the Moulin Neuf lake, just a stone’s throw from the medieval village of Rochefort-en-Terre (voted France’s Favourite Village), these two estates offer a complete nature disconnect. Although located slightly inland, they provide an idyllic and restful base for day trips to explore the GR34 trails that wind around the Gulf of Morbihan or the Vilaine estuary.

Our 4 Expert Tips for a Successful Hike on the GR34

  • Pack for all weather conditions: In Brittany, the saying goes that you can experience beautiful weather several times a day! Always take a windproof and waterproof jacket with you, even under bright sunshine.

  • Respect the environment: The Custom Officers’ Path is a fragile natural area to be preserved. Stay strictly on the marked trails to prevent cliff erosion, and always take your rubbish back with you.

  • Plan your stages in advance: The GR34 can be physically demanding with many short, steep slopes (“ankle-breakers”). Do not overestimate your strength; ensure you have good hiking shoes and plenty of water.

  • Always leave a little extra time for your walks: to fully enjoy your days, take time to observe the local wildlife and flora, relish a well-deserved break, or simply rest. The joy of holidays is also about not looking at your watch, right?

The great Breton outdoors is calling you! Whether with family, as a couple, or with friends, plan your next coastal getaway today and book your stay in one of our Terres de France holiday residences in Brittany.
