What to visit in the Côtes d'Armor?
This Breton département has a varied landscape that is sure to appeal to lovers of nature and authenticity. Here are five places to explore during your stay in Saint-Brieuc!
A popular must-see site, the Pink Granite Coast is awe-inspiring with its immense pink rocks. Don't miss the Ploumanac'h lighthouse, a real Breton postcard image. Just a stone's throw from these natural attractions, Perros-Guirec is a charming seaside town with a lively atmosphere all year round. Here you can take a cruise to the 7 islands, another emblematic, unspoilt site.
With its cobbled streets, timber-framed houses and local craft stalls, Dinan is like stepping back in time! Don't miss the famous Rue du Jerzual. This steeply sloping street leads to Dinan's pretty port. The English Garden offers a superb panoramic view of the town and surrounding countryside.
Created in 1930, Lac de Guerlédan is the largest man-made lake in Brittany, measuring 12km in length and covering 304 hectares! Hiking trails around the lake and numerous water sports options make Lac de Guerlédan a great idea for a visit in any season!
Off the coast of Paimpol, the island of Bréhat is a paradise where you can only get around on foot or by bike. Its small size (3.5km long and 1.5km wide) means it can be explored in a day. You can visit the Verreries de Bréhat glassworks in the old citadel, for example, or head off in search of secluded coves and beaches.
Here's a site that's unique in France! The Valley of the Saints, nicknamed "Brittany's Easter Island", is home to 150 granite statues up to 7 metres high. They all bear the effigy of Breton saints. The site's goal: to eventually reach 1,000 statues!
