The maritime facade on the English Channel is the main tourist attraction of Côtes-d'Armor. It features a wide variety of fine sandy beaches bordered by hills and cliffs. They are particularly known by the evocative names of Emerald Coast or Pink Granite Coast.

However, Côtes-d'Armor also has many historical sites (medieval towns, castles, abbeys, cathedrals…). Let yourself be tempted by the hinterland that has a thousand and one stories to tell you!

    Die Wanderung war sehr sbwechslungsreich und ist auch bei sonnigem Wetter gut zu Laufen. Wenig Asphalt. Die meisten Wege im Inland sind im Schatten und am Küstenweg gibt es mehrere Bademöglichkeiten. Tolle Tour, vielen Dank an den Autor.

    Sehr schöner Weg. Es gibt allerdings zwei Problemchen mit der Wegfindung: 1. Der Zipfel nördlich des Plage de Saint-Guirec ist anscheinend ist mit einem Zaun abgesperrt. Man geht stattdessen links durch das Wäldchen. 2. Den Abzweiger von Plage de Saint-Guirec Richtung Plage de la Bastille habe ich nicht gefunden.

    Great hike through sunken lanes mostly following VTT11. Very easy to follow. Mostly dry but a couple of areas could be muddy after more rain. Surprised to find a herd of goats on the path!
