  • Itinerary
    • This bike itinerant trip offers you the possibility to discover the Pink Granite Coast in a few days by passing through charming towns. Your stay starts in Lannion, capital of the Trégor, a city with traditional and original architecture. You continue to Perros-Guirec, one of the most famous seaside resorts, where you will have the choice between a walk along the famous GR34, more known as Sentier des Douaniers, or a swim at the crossroads of la Manche, the Celtic Sea and the Atlantic. Finally, your itinerary ends in Paimpol, a small coastal town. Your last day gives you the chance to discover an extraordinary natural site: the Island of Brehat, the first classified natural site in France.
