North Brittany by van: 5 must-see spots you can’t miss

This one-of-a-kind natural site gets its name from the pink hues its granite rocks take on at sunset. Marked trails, like the one at Ploumanac’h, offer unrivalled views over the sea and the wave-sculpted rock formations.

Perched at the tip of Penmarc’h, this iconic lighthouse is one of France’s tallest at 65 metres. Climb its 307 steps for a 360-degree panoramic view over the Atlantic Ocean and the Breton coast.

This ruined medieval castle, perched on a rocky spur, overlooks the Bay of Morlaix and offers a mysterious, photogenic setting. Its ties to the Lords of Léon make it a place steeped in Breton legend and history.

This long stretch of fine sand, bordered by dunes and pine trees, is the perfect spot for a relaxing break or a leisurely walk. The view over the Bay of Perros-Guirec and the Sept-Îles adds a magical touch to an already stunning landscape.

Though it sits on the border between Brittany and Normandy, this architectural marvel is a must-visit. A UNESCO World Heritage site, the abbey and its bay offer a breathtaking sight, especially at high tide.

This legendary trail runs along the Breton coast for over 2000 km, but the northern stretch between Perros-Guirec and Trébeurden is particularly spectacular. With hidden coves, cliffs and moorland, it’s a chance to walk through wild, untouched nature.
