Port de Ploumanac'h

Perros-Guirec (Côtes-d'Armor, France)

Perros-Guirec is a seaside resort known on the Côte de Granit Rose, in northern Brittany. The coastline is distinguished by granite blocks with pinkish hues, shaped by the waves and wind. The town combines a lively harbor, accessible beaches and residential areas that extend around the seafront. It is a popular stop for coastal tourism, hiking and seaside walks.

Heritage and history

The village of Ploumanac'h, integrated into Perros-Guirec, retains a traditional character with granite houses and old coastal paths. The Phare de Ploumanac'h marks the entrance to a series of picturesque rocks. The port testifies to the historical importance of fishing and navigation in the region.

Nature and landscapes

The rock formations of the Côte de Granit Rose offer changing panoramas depending on the light. The coast alternates coves, low cliffs and sandy beaches such as la plage de Trestraou, often frequented by families. Marine life and coastal birds can be seen from coastal paths and viewpoints.

Outdoor activities and leisure

The Sentier des Douaniers (GR34) passes through Perros-Guirec and allows long coastal walks. There are also boat trips to observe the islands and rocks, as well as seasonal water activities. The beaches provide areas for swimming and sand sports.
