Arrival late in the day in Lannion, a dapper historic town nestled at the bottom of the Leguer estuary and located only a short distance from the sea.
Installation at hotel and dinner.
From the historic heart of Lannion to the banks of the Leguer
With your suitcases set down, set out to discover the historic center of Lannion. A maze of cobbled streets and alleys awaits you. Look up and admire the superb wood or slate panelled houses, witnesses of the medieval past and the wealth of the city during the Renaissance. Place du Général-Leclerc, the “Maison aux Chapeliers”, entirely covered in slate, and its neighbor, rich in decorative details, are ultra photogenic!
Before lunch, you will unlock the secrets of whiskey making Amorik in the oldest distillery in France. In a brand new building of wood and steel, Gianni welcomes you and immerses you in the world of Breton whiskey. At the end of the visit, he takes you to the middle of the cellars for a commented tasting in search of the subtle aromas of this multi-awarded beverage.
Lunch.
At sea, be head in the air!
Off the Pink Granite Coast, continental dust emerges flush with the water. By embarking on board a boat, you can enter this magical kingdom of seabirds. An incessant ballet of wings and a fanfare of cries accompany your cruise between feathers and foam.
At the end of the day, a lovely 2 km walk on the Renote Peninsula will allow you to move through a protected natural area that is home to many spectacularly shaped pink granite chaotic rocks, as well as characteristic seaside fauna and flora.
Prepare to experience a morning “life-size”
Cross for about sixty kilometers, the wild peninsula of Plougrescant where the sea shows that it knows how to do everything. A wild and preserved coastline, rocky and jagged by storms, is revealed at the bends of the tourist road.
Lunch.
Tréguier: Follow the arrow!
Laced by the Jaudy and the Guindy, Tréguier floor of seductive alleys and squares, soaring from the port to the top of the hill. Under the protection of the delicate spire of the cathedral, half-timbered houses testify to the intense intellectual and artistic influence of the Petite Cité de Caractère®.
The Gardens of Kerdalo, the most beautiful painting by Prince Peter Wolkonsky
In the hollow of a valley plunging into the Jaudy River, the gardens were designed as a living painting, with a strong chromatic bias and water as a common thread. Ponds, waterfalls, water staircase, grotto, pavilions, shell bas-reliefs… let yourself be charmed by the soul and the magic of this romantic place, both natural and fashioned, where around the manor house, Italian terraces, English garden and meadow are mixed. An unclassifiable treasure, rich with 5000 local species.
But what is this big white ball?
At a short distance from the sea and Lannion, the Cité des Télécoms offers you a dive into the ever-changing world of telecoms and digital.
Meet these men and their inventions that are part of the great history of telecommunications that allow us today to communicate ever faster, ever farther.
Lunch in a crêperie.
