Côte de Granit Rose

The Pink Granite Coast stretches along the Trégor shoreline, in the Côtes-d'Armor, over an area where erosion has sculpted for millions of years granite blocks of that very particular pinkish tint. These rocky heaps, with sometimes strange shapes that have earned nicknames for some of them, make up a rare geological landscape, considered one of the most remarkable on the Breton coast.

The Ploumanac'h lighthouse and the little château on the island of Costaérès, built in the nineteenth century on a private islet, are among the most photographed landmarks of the area, which extends from Perros-Guirec to Trégastel. The Sept-Îles nature reserve, offshore, completes the coast's natural interest by sheltering important seabird colonies.

The Customs Officers' path, laid out on the old coastal patrol track, lets you follow the coast as close as possible to the rocks between Perros-Guirec and Trégastel, on a route of about five kilometres accessible to most walkers. Spring and summer, with low light at the end of the day, particularly enhance the pink tints of the granite.
