Côte de granit rose walks

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.

This circuit takes you almost all the way around the commune of Trégastel. Trégastel is the second commune that, together with neighbouring Perros-Guirec, forms the pink granite coast. From the start to the (5), the route follows theGR®34and therefore the customs officers' path, known here as the coastal path, with a short detour around Île Renote. Special feature: as it runs along the coast, the circuit has very little elevation gain.

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.

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.

Along with the pink granite chaos, the Vallée des Traouïéro is the region's second most popular tourist site. It consists of two steep-sided valleys through which the Kérougant river winds its way before separating and joining the natural harbour of Ploumanac'h. This stream forms the natural boundary between the municipalities of Perros-Guirec and Trégastel. The Petit-Traouïero flows into the Ploumanac'h ice mill (Milin Ru), while the Grand-Traouïero flows into the Trégastel wheat mill (Milin Glaz).
