Discovering Brittany’s natural sites

Taking a trip to the Côte de Granit Rose without visiting its natural sites is a bit like sitting down at a crêperie without ordering a crêpe: unthinkable.
Put on your hiking boots and grab your backpack, and Brittany’s wild and natural landscapes are waiting for you! During a family hike in Trégastel, children will marvel at the immensity of the pink granite boulders and cliffs that seem to plunge into the sea in changing shades of blue. A place like no other in France. It’s the promise of a great start to your vacation!
