Oyster beds

Highlight • Other

Off the coast, the oyster beds are exposed every time the tide goes out. Then it's time for the oyster farmers to go out in the tractor and tend or harvest the farm.

Farm path

Highlight • Other

Here you hike over hedge-lined farm roads and pass small hamlets, pastures and groves. Every now and then you'll discover a few old relics like an old laundry sink or an overgrown tractor.

July 24, 2024,Gouffre & Pointe du Chateau – Côte de Granit Rose

A beautiful hike along the coast with pink granite. Unfortunately it was cloudy the whole time so the pink color didn't really show. However, it would have been difficult to walk if the sun had come out as there was hardly any shade on the route.
All in all a wonderful walk.
As we read that there were no restaurants …

Today we went on foot along the pink granite coast.
As you are not allowed to cycle on the coastal path and you cannot see the beautiful views, we put on our hiking boots. It was a very long walk through the country along the road.

Today's excursion takes us to one of the most photographed sites in Brittany: the house between the rocks. At least that's my impression, because even on a weekday in the pre-season there are an incredible number of people out and about here.

About 1.2 km of road towards the end are not so pleasant to walk, but otherwise the rest makes up for it! Great tour.

In the immediate vicinity is one of the most photographed subjects in Brittany, a cottage wedged between two gigantic blocks of granite. With the help of a lawyer, the owner …

September 23, 2022,Bretagne: Le Gouffre

This tour goes partly along the Pink Granite Coast around Plougrescent. The coast is very original and makes a rough impression with the many large granite rocks. This is reinforced by the cloudy weather today. You always have great views of the sea. On the way in the hinterland some small hamlets with a lot of agriculture, especially vegetable cultivation. …

Since we had rented a holiday home near the GR34, this tour was of course an option for us. Slightly modified in terms of crossing the headland, the route along the coast was of course identical. The views are gigantic, whether at low or high tide (so we walked twice). It is actually quite easy to walk
