Baie de Locquirec
Highlight • Beach
At high tide, you can admire the sand and the sea; at low tide the sea is so far away that you can barely see it, instead you can marvel at the stretch of sand with beached boats.

Douron Estuary
Highlight • Other
At low tide, the mudflat is a resting and feeding area for many birds. The estuary is extended by volcanic cliffs of very ancient origin which opens the perspective on the bay of Lannion.

Kerguntuil Megaliths
Highlight • Historical Site
Here is the translation of the information panel:
The stone monuments of Kerguntuil are remains from the late Neolithic period (around 2000 BC). The passage grave, consisting of several stone slabs, and the dolmen are two very fine examples of megaliths (assemblies of large stones) erected in Western Europe during this period.
Did you know that these passages were rediscovered in the 1930s thanks to the dedication of local volunteers who excavated and restored the monument? It is very likely that our ancestors used these monuments as collective burial sites. Today, these remains bear witness to the architectural genius of these prehistoric people, but also to their worldview. Look at the engravings inside, on the pillars of the mound foundation burial: These pairs of raised protrusions, engraved in relief, are said to represent breasts and the Great Mother Goddess of the Neolithic period.
