We spent the Easter weekend at Ploumanach on the northern Brittany coast.
The pink granite coastline is very dramatic with plenty of headland paths to
explore and we visited several picturesque ports and beaches around the
Côtes-d'Armor.
Ploumanach
We arrived with our friend, Phil at lunchtime, so we enjoyed some traditional
seaside fare including fish soup and moules marinières with chips.

Then we walked along the headland clambering over the amazing pink granite
boulders.

The lighthouse at the Pointe de Squewel.

The rocky coastline was spectacular.
The headland paths winded through some gorgeous woodland and the bluebells
were out in full force.
We even ventured into the English Channel for a brief time

and we always like to fit in some frisbee practice whenever we
visit the seaside.
Exploring the Côtes-d'Armor
Driving along the surrounding coast roads we discovered some stunning fishing
villages and ports.

Loguivy
The Sillon de Talbert is a 3km long sandy spit jutting out to
sea.
Tréguier is a medieval town with a busy harbour.
The tide was out when we visited the wide sandy beach at Plestin-les-Greves
and the sudden appearance of a sea mist evoked a real smugglers cove atmosphere
from centuries ago.
