Plage de Cherrueix
What an interesting way to spend the time on the beach! Of course we booked the "char à voile" for the next day :-) -
Plage de Cherrueix
The beach seems endless. Especially at low tide. -
Plage de Cherrueix
Such an impressionist view! Hot air and water reflections do their magic. -
Baie des Trépassés
Paradise. -

Le Fort du Guesclin
As everything in Brittany, this place is also full of history. Romans, destroyed, fortress in 800s, destroyed, fortified castle built by Bertrand du Guesclin in 1100, destroyed in 1598, this one built in 1756... -
Cap d'Erquy
What a beautiful beach this is. -

Of all the beaches I've been to, this one has the purest and most homogeneous sand. Wonderful! -

It was insanely hot walking here, no shadow in sight. But it was worth it. -
Côte de granit rose
A walk along the Côte de granit rose at sunset, somewhere between Ploumanac'h and Trégastel. -
Côte de granit rose
I think this is Plage Quo Vadis. Because Henryk Sienkiewicz wrote his Quo Vadis in the neighbouring castle, overlooking this beach. -
Côte de granit rose
In Port de Ploumanac'h, close to Tourony. At low tide, obviously. -

Château de Costaérès
Another spectacular place. A neo-medieval style manor on one of the islands. Built by a Polish engineer Bruno Abakanowicz, later Sienkiewicz wrote Quo Vadis here. Now owned by the comedian Didi :-) -
Côte de granit rose
What a vibrant colour! -
Côte de granit rose
Every interesting rock has a name, I'm sure an interesting name was given to this one as well. This one is close to La Plage Saint Guirec. Update: it's called Napoleon's hat :-) -
Côte de granit rose
Oratoire de Saint-Guirec dating from 11th-12th century. Apparently sticking needles into the saint's nose (and the needle remaining there during the high tide) would guarantee you getting married within a year. No wonder it's so eroded :-) -
Côte de granit rose
A stunning bit of French coast indeed! -
Phare de Ploumanac'h
Phare de Ploumanac'h on the Sentier des Douaniers. The weather wasn't the best... oh well. -
Côte de granit rose
Just about every rock is beautiful! -

So so so beautiful! Why don't they grow in my garden? -

I've seen many beautiful houses but this one might be my favourite. It looks good even in rain. -

The lonely Tévennec Lighthouse on the horizon. -
Serpent d'ocean
... to see the Serpent d'ocean. Made by Huang Yong Ping in 2012. -

Unfortunately, there was high tide so we could not walk to the serpent.
