Côtes-d'Armor walks

Bréhat, an island known for its flowers; it has its own micro-climate that favours the growth of amazing, abundant and exotic flora. Bréhat is 3.5 km long and 1.5 km across at its widest point and consists in fact of two islands attached by a single stone bridge. Its proximity to the mainland, 15 minutes by boat, makes it a major destination for a day trip for walkers.

This beautiful route starts from the beach at Erquy, first taking in the narrow streets of the village and then the quiet lanes, before leading back to the sea at the end of the Anse des Sables d'Or. After that, it runs along the coast, from beach to beach, taking us back to the port, crossing the moor and skirting the rocks. From the top of the cliffs or at wave level, this trail offers breathtaking and varied views of this magnificent coastline.

An emblematic site in the Côtes d'Armor region, the Pink Granite Coast stretches roughly from Trébeurden to Paimpol. This hike in Ploumanac'h offers a chance to discover part of it. Winding through the "chaos" and following the Douaniers trail and the GR®34, you'll discover one of Brittany's most magnificent landscapes, shaped by majestic pink granite rocks of all shapes and sizes. There are only three places like it in the world: Brittany, Corsica and China.

An easy coastal walk. A short return trip toward the center of the island leads to a viewpoint and a superb covered walkway.

Located between the beautiful white sandy beaches of Trégastel and the "chaos" of Ploumanach, this short hike explores the Pink Granite Coast going around Renote Island. Among the majestic pink granite rocks and vegetation you will discover beautiful landscapes sculpted by erosion.

Between the communes of Penvénan and Trévou Tréguignec, the circuit takes you from Port Blanc to Plage du Royau, where you'll discover a beautiful coastline and local history.

Ploumanac'h, "France's favourite village in 2015", is a small touristic harbour linking up with Perros-Guirec. It's the city of pink granite, as visitors can discover in the sculpture park (being redeveloped in 2016). The "sentier des douaniers" (GR®34), the "Tertre de la Clarté", the small sandy beaches of "La Bastille" and "Saint-Guirec" with its oratory and chapel, and the chaos of granite heaps are the main sights.

Hike to the Pointe de Saint-Cast-le-Guildo, its harbour and the seaside town.

The Pointe de Plougrescant is recognised around the world due to Castel-Meur: the house between the rocks. The hike starts at Saint-Gonery Chapel, equally famous for its crooked lead bell tower. The hike continues via the Baie de l'Enfer where you can admire the Jaudy estuary, then on to Pointe du Château - the most northerly point of this route - to see Castel Meur (private property) and finally to discover the gulf before returning to the departure point along the west coast of the point.

Short discovery hike around Fréhel cape and across its moorland.

A beautiful hike, much of it taking place along the seafront corniche. Along the way, you can add a visit to a Gallo-Roman site and take a refreshing dip!

This route takes you on a tour of the different faces of the Plougrescant coastline, with a variety of landscapes. The islands of Loaven and Er, which punctuate the Jaudy estuary, are the scene of major oyster-farming activity at low tide. At high tide, the islands are popular for water sports, especially kayaking.Then there's the rugged coastline of the northern tip, where raw nature and moorland take on their full character.

Wind your way along the banks of the Rance, stopping off at the Abbaye Sainte-Magloire-de-Léhon to visit the fortified heights and historic heart of Dinan.

This hike was completed and written during the summer of 2015, an exceptional period when the lake was drained for dam maintenance.We invite hikers to do this walk in spring, when the colours and scents are at their best, with the clear waters of the lake as a backdrop. Since 2024, major work has been underway between points 3 and 4 with a view to building a free Himalayan footbridge for crossing the Blavet, which cuts the complete tour of the lake in two. This will still be possible for the most experienced walkers. (See note in "Practical information".

Loop along part of the Trieux river towards the sea and back through the countryside.
