is the prow of France, jutting into the Atlantic Ocean it has some of the
best scenery around. The pink granite coastline offers an infinite variety
of landscape - rocky headlands, tall cliffs, secluded coves, fine sheltered
harbors, countless islands and wide sandy beaches. Resort towns with stately
granite villas alternate with charming fishing villages of modest whitewashed
houses. Tremendous tides recede hundreds of yards, laying bare broad sandy beaches,
oyster beds and small fishing ports. For people interested in out of season holidays the coastline is magnificent to walk we have also five different walks from the gites ranging from an easy half hour to a two hour hike through beautiful countryside and woods. The local beach at St Efflam has an excellent water sports centre where you can hire dinghies, sand yachts or try your hand at wind surfing. Tennis and horse riding are within 5 minutes drive. For the real French flavour we recommend Lannion market which is every Thursday morning and Plestin market which is every Sunday morning. For Places to visit in the region see here... |

is no shortage of superb restaurants in the Côtes-d'Armor . Meals here will highlight the many local delicacies and abundance of fresh seafood, shellfish above all - lobster, langostines, mussels, oysters, clams and scallops. Local cheeses, artichokes, early potatoes, lamb and crepes have also helped make Breton cuisine famous. The favorite local beverages come from the orchards rather than vineyards. Cider is produced everywhere, along with its pear equivalent and the well known Norman Calvados (a potent apple brandy). Of particular note (and value) are restaurants in Locquirec (5 mins), Ploumanac'h (nr Perros-Guirec - 20 mins away) and or and lunch time eating at the "Chateigner" restaurant in nearby Plouégat-Guerrand (10 mins away) where a five course meal costs just £6 per person, probably the best value meal anywhere!
