Renoir`s south coast

Renoir’s south coast
N
Self-guided walk
It’s easy to see why Pierre-Auguste Renoir was so
captivated by Guernsey’s stunning south coast scenery.
The French impressionist painter spent a little over a month
in the island in the late summer of 1883. He is thought
to have painted 15 small pictures while on the island, all
showing views of the bay and beach of Moulin Huet.
The paintings are varied and include panoramic views from the
track leading down to the bay, scenes with groups of figures
among the rocks on the beach, and simpler sketches of rocks
and sea. His pictures present the island as a refuge, a place
of escape from the modern world, something walkers can still
experience today.
WALK INFO
This walk starts at Jerbourg point, which offers spectacular views across the
neighbouring islands of Herm, Sark, Alderney and Jersey and, on a clear day, as
far as the Normandy coast of France. Once on the cliff path, your route will weave
around a series of pretty bays until you reach Moulin Huet.
Start Point: Jerbourg headland Approximate distance of walk: 1.5 miles
Terrain: Varied, from flat to slopes and steps Finish point: Moulin Huet
Approximate time: 1 hour 20 minutes
Go the extra mile!
Continue on from Moulin Huet to
see more of the well trodden path
that Renoir enjoyed. The south coast cliffs
arguably offer the most spectacular views the
island has to offer at every turn. Saints bay,
Icart and Petit Bot all offers fabulous vantage
points to stop and take photographs, there are
also plenty of tearooms and restaurants dotted
around the coast to stop for a break.
Useful information: This extra walk is just over
two miles. Allow up to two hours to complete
this at a leisurely pace.
Walk up from Petit Bot and you will join the
main road (opposite Forest Stores) which offers
good bus links, back to the start of your walk or
elsewhere. Route 11, changing to 81, takes you
back to Jerbourg. Route 91 also stops here and
is a round the island service.
USEFUL INFO
Bus route 81 travels between La Fosse, next to the Bella Luce hotel, just inland
from Moulin Huet, to Jerbourg. For alternative routes, go to www.buses.gg

Jerbourg Point: Uninterrupted views of the
smaller islands. Here there are remains of
Batterie Strassbourg, a German fortification.
Look closely and you will also see banks and
ditches which are ramparts dating back to the
Bronze Age (2000 BC)

Bear left along La Moye Lane before turning left
by Seaplane Bungalow, signposted for Petit Port.
Camping
On the headland stands La Moye Battery. Many
of the fortifications along the coast, which include
a gun emplacement and earthworks at La Moye, a
watch house at Les Sommeilleuses and the castle at
Corbierre, were adapted during the Occupation of
World War Two.
As you make your way around the bay,
the paths weave around the edge of the coast,
occasionally crossing back onto tarmac paths
and roads before returning to a track.
Tour operator
Map
Petit Port: With 294 steps, getting down to this
bay is not for the faint-hearted – but well worth
the walk. A little inland is Doyle Monument, built in
memory of Sir John Doyle, a Lieutenant-Governor of
Guernsey, and restaurant The Auberge.

At the southern end of the bay the path meets a paved road and switches
back sharply, with a walled garden on the right before becoming a path once again.

Across the bay to the east you will see the Pea Stacks (Les Tas de Pois d’amont).
This distinctive set of rocks just off the coast offers a popular habitat for nesting seabirds.

Moulin Huet: Like many of the south coast bays, this
beach is transformed from a pebble to a sandy beach with
the rise and fall of the tide. Renoir painted here in 1883
and it was a favourite of French author Victor Hugo when
he lived here in exile in the 19th Century.

Built in 1788 / 1789, all 15 were built in a very short time in response to the
perceived threat from France. Like the others, this would have been manned
by the militia and acted as guardhouse, watch house and also a barracks for
the men on the battery.

St Clair Battery: The Battery was associated with Tower no. 13 and was one of more
than 60 such batteries dotted the coastline. In 1816 there were two 24-pounder
guns mounted there which had the capacity to fire more than 2,000 metres.
From here, it is a short walk up to the main road, Le Bourg, where buses go to
St Peter Port and elsewhere.
