Brittany : visit the Côtes d'Armor
Brittany is a holiday destination and a place in which to dream, a region full of majestic beauty spots and tiny, forgotten villages, an area of superb cathedrals and humble chapels. Yet it is no place for travellers in a hurry : it takes time to visit Brittany, this enchanted part of world's end !
Ploumanac'h, in Perros-Guirec, is famous for its amazing piles of old rose-coloured rocks. These large blocks of stone have taken on the most fantastic shapes.
The best way of discovering Ploumanac'h is to follow the coast in an East-West direction. From the end of the coastal footpath from Perros-Guirec, you will see the rocky outcrop of Pors Rolland then the "Devil's castle", and further Norh the beautiful Pointe de Squewel. From there, go on to Pors-Kamor cove and Ploumanac'h lighthouse from which there is a panoramic view of the Sept-Iles Archipelago in the North. The main group of rocks that have been sculpted by the elements are to the South-West. Napoleon's hat, for example, is near St. Guirec Beach.
