See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: cliffs and wind. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Viewpoint
Cap Fréhel
Cap Fréhel imposes the power of the coastline both in the view and in the wind: cliffs, hard roads, guard lines. The panoramas open quickly but gain to be cut into repeated stops. Morning time often gives the most balanced light.
Fortress
Fort La Latte
Fort La Latte reads like a high architectural piece, with angles that cut the coastal landscape. When you take the internal paths before the high points, the fort becomes more than a symbol. A visit at the end of the day offers a beautiful depth to the shadows of the ramparts.
Seaside resort
Erquy
Erquy combines an active fishing port, clear beaches and pink sandstone cliffs that take beautiful shades in the sun. The port gives a daily scene, with boats and lockers, while the nearby paths open quickly on the moor and views towards Cape d Erquy.
Seaside resort
Sables-d'Or-les-Pins
In Sables-d'Or-les-Pins, the beach, the promenade and the adjacent streets form a clear triptych: water, traffic, urban breaks. The place understands by walking diagonally, not in a straight line. Hours with low pressure leave more room for detail.
