GR34 - Portraits et paysages sur le sentier des douaniers en Bretagne | S.Millier

GR34

Le chemin des douaniers

Le vent qui secoue la pinède, le vacarme sourd venant parfois du rivage tout proche, les paysages semi-lunaires et le chemin devant soi, toujours.

Puis l'éternelle marée, qui transforme le littoral du tout au tout.
De l'écume à la fange, du trop plein au vide sidéral.
Et vice-versa.

Mais, malgré toute cette beauté sauvage, le plus important se situe ailleurs: aller à la rencontre de l'autre...

Sans grand plan ni préjugé, j'ai parcouru à pied un tronçon de 493km sur le sentier des douaniers en Bretagne (GR34).
Pas de recherche de performance ici mais le bonheur simple de profiter, pas à pas, des aléas du chemin.

Merci à celles et ceux qui ont partagé mon aventure et accepté d'être photographiés.
Merci sincèrement, vous m'avez ouvert grand l'esprit.

Walking the GR34: A portrait of Brittany.

Created from paths used by customs officers in centuries past, the GR34 is a hiking trail that snakes along the coastline of Brittany for over 2,000 kilometres.

When I set out to walk a section of the trail, my goal wasn't a place or a particular level of performance. It was the simple pleasure of putting one foot in front of the other and letting the path be my guide.

Step after step, for 493 kilometers, I savoured the sights and sounds around me – the breeze in the trees, the dull roar of the sea – with the ever-present path always winding ahead.

Thanks to the ins-and-outs of the tide, the view was constantly changing, from quasi-lunar landscapes to water, water, everywhere.

And yet, it wasn't this wild beauty that made my journey so enriching but the people encountered along the way.

Thank you to everyone who shared my adventure and posed for my camera. You broadened my horizons. And for that, I am truly grateful.
