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. - Côte de granit rose
An old tidal mill at Grand Traouïero. The mill's been here since 1375, the current building is from the 18th century. If I remember correctly, it was used to crush ice for the fishing trade. - Côte de granit rose
What a lovely place for a house! - Côte de granit rose
Port de Ploumanac'h. 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! - Côte de granit rose
View of the sea rescue ramp hidden in a well protected cove. - Côte de granit rose
So so so beautiful! Why don't they grow in my garden? - Côte de granit rose
I've seen many beautiful houses but this one might be my favourite. It looks good even in rain. - Pointe du Raz
Pointe du Raz overlooking Plage de la Baie des Trépassés at sunset. - Baie des Trépassés
The lonely Tévennec Lighthouse on the horizon. - Pointe du Raz
The Tévennec Lighthouse as seen from Pointe du Raz. The lighthouse was inhabited from 1875 to 1910. - Pointe du Raz
Finistère. Where the land ends. Or begins :-) Interesting clouds approaching from the Ocean. - Pointe du Raz
The word "raz" means a strong current of water. Well, yes. I've never seen such strong *tidal* currents in the sea. Two lighthouses, La Vieille and La petite Vieille can be seen. And the Île de Sein in the background. - Le Croisic
What a lovely place Le Croisic is. - Serpent d'ocean
... to see the Serpent d'ocean. Made by Huang Yong Ping in 2012. - Serpent d'ocean
Unfortunately, there was high tide so we could not walk to the serpent.
