Vélektro le vélo facile. Le vélo à asistance électrique de la Côte de Granit RoseOn a 3-day stopover at the Trébeurden campsite, when we saw with friends that they were renting out electric-assist bikes, we booked straight away. Discovering this part of Brittany without a car, with the freedom of a bike but without the hassle of steep climbs, was a real treat…
And what’s more, it’s eco-friendly!

You soon get used to the electricity taking over from your calves! The guy at the campsite warned us that battery life would depend on our motivation to pedal. We’ll see who’s bravest at the finish line!
At the top of the point, the panorama is simply sublime. The first chaos of pink granite, and the islands punctuating an oily sea. On the horizon, you can see the silhouette of the Île de Batz, opposite Roscoff.

We get away from the coastline (and the cars!) for a while, and follow small, undulating roads between granite houses, undergrowth and meadows. Some lovely surprises await us along the way, including the chapel and menhir of Saint-Uzec. We leave our mounts for a moment to improvise a few “Leaning Tower of Pisa”-style souvenir photos.
Soon we’re back on the coast. The path skirts the bay from Sainte-Anne to Trégastel, passing between ponds where a few birds rest. Peaceful.
The château de Costaérès on its pink granite islet, the Ploumanac’h lighthouse emerging from the chaos… We’re speechless! As for our stomachs, they make themselves heard. We leave our velek’tro on the available racks, looking for a quiet spot to picnic. We find a little beach almost just for us, tucked away behind a few rocks. Luxury, peace and quiet and our taste buds satisfied!
But soon the tide calls us to order. It’s time to start the return journey!
Is it digestion, or is it going up a bit more in that direction? Energy levels are starting to drop, and it’s with a touch of suspense that the last few kilometers are covered. Who’s going to stall before the finish? But in the end, everyone made it back to the campsite without a hitch, delighted by this day in the fresh air of Brittany and won over by electric bikes!
Suddenly, as we begin to skate in the sand that has taken over the path: THE postcard view!
