Hiking the GR34 starting from Mont St-Michel
hi there,
besides the fact that campsites aren’t always very close to the coast, they can also be pretty expensive—up to 10 € for one night, even if you arrive around 5 PM and leave by 7 AM. That’s a bit much. For showers, the harbor master’s office is often a good option—they’re usually cool about it, and the showers aren’t too pricey.
To cross estuaries (like the Vilaine or Lorient roadstead, etc.), just ask who can take you across. I crossed with fishermen, sailing schools, and others. The same goes for getting to the islands—hitching a boat ride works well, especially on weekends.
For food, I’d buy enough for about three days. The issue is the same as with camping: it’s not always close to the coast. Couscous is really handy because it expands even with cold water and is easy to store. Then I’d pack cans like sardines or corned beef—they’re high in calories and hold up well in the heat—plus figs, raisins, and dates. Still, I lost 6 kilos in two weeks.
Which section are you interested in? If you need them, I had a few maps of the area. Here’s my email: annd@hotmail.fr

Hiking the GR34 from Mont Saint-Michel
hi there
I hiked the GR34 (customs officers' trail) from Le Croisic to Brest in June 2003 during the heatwave with a poorly packed backpack—it was brutal.
Camping spots vary; they're handy when near the coast, but after 20 km, including 4 or 5 km of dry sand, you won’t want to walk another 5 km to sleep and then 5 more the next day.
If you'd like more details, feel free to contact me—I’d be happy to help.
cheers
