Have very fond memories of one or two holidays taken with extended family when the next generation were children – did that actually happen! – in this part of northern Brittany, when the weather didn’t perform like british Cornwall. I wanted to see whether it was still as beautiful as I remembered.
So Perros-Guirec and Tregastel – you are. I love the rocks and boulder formations, along the coastline and in the villages, the coves, inlets and beaches of the crystal clear sea. Recollect being in the water amongst the rocks when the tide came in very fast, and it’s one of the many places we’ve been fortunate to enjoy with our family which would have been paradise for me as a child. As an empty-nester – what could be better – fantastic for walking, cycling, kayaking, exploring the coastline – assuming sunshine, and not drizzle or sea mist which also happens.
For those who know Brimham Rocks in North Yorkshire, UK, then it’s like that up and down the coast of pink granite, and the houses, street pavings, flower planters, etc are built from it. Unfortunately just a one-night stop here this time as part of the 5-day road trip from Benodet back to the ferry port at Le Havre, and the weather did its job – clear skies, low twenties.
Pink granite boulders everywhere 
Tide’s out
