Plérin (Côtes-d'Armor, France)
Plérin, a coastal commune located west of Saint‑Brieuc, stretches along the Bay of Saint‑Brieuc. Its coastline alternates small beaches, low cliffs and port areas, offering a setting suited to walks. The commune combines an active neighborhood life with nearby protected natural areas. There are nautical activities, hiking trails and viewpoints over the bay.
Heritage and history
The urban fabric of Plérin illustrates its evolution from a fishing village to a suburban town. You can see civic and religious buildings centered around the village, witnesses of the 19th–20th centuries, as well as facilities related to fishing and maritime trade. Local history is closely linked to that of the bay and the neighboring port of Saint‑Brieuc.
Nature and landscapes
The Bay of Saint‑Brieuc, rich in biodiversity, dominates Plérin's marine landscape. Tides strongly mark the coastline; mudflats and saltmarshes attract migratory birds and observers. The coastal path GR34 runs along varied panoramas, from sandy beaches to rockier areas offering wide views over the estuary.
