The Armor Coast

The 19th century in the Paimpol region was the era of ‘big fishing’. Fishermen would set sail for several months to the coasts of Newfoundland and Iceland. They were known as “Newfoundlanders” or ‘Icelanders’.
Many ships disappeared at sea, and every family in the region knew of at least one sailor who had died. This era forged Paimpol’s strong identity and the character of its inhabitants.
Your hotel is located near the port.

This first day of walking can be spent visiting the island of Bréhat.
Head to the Arcouest pier to catch the boat that will take you there.
Once there, lose yourself on the little paths, admire the flora, search for small coves and head north towards the Paon lighthouse.
Be careful not to miss the last boat at the end of the day!

At the start of the day, a taxi will take you to the Talbert furrow, which will be the starting point for the day’s walk. This geological curiosity is a little paradise for shore fishermen. You will then walk along the magnificent coastline to reach Tréguier, located on the Jaudy river.

The route to Perros-Guirec is delightful. You will be charmed by the splendor of the seascapes, the numerous villas with gardens blooming all year round with mimosas, geraniums, camellias… And the wild beds of broom, heather, and orchids.

Perros-Guirrec is a popular seaside resort on the Côte d’Armor. From your hotel, facing the sea and the 7 islands, you may find it difficult to choose:
A morning trip to the 7 Islands bird sanctuary? Created in 1912, you can see northern gannets, Atlantic puffins, razorbills, guillemots, shag cormorants, northern fulmars, and more.
The excursion is by boat (21.50€ per adult).

We also offer a 17km (10,5 miles) loop to discover Ploumanach and its famous pink granite rocks, as well as the more discreet Traouïéros valley and its enchanting world, populated by legendary places such as the Maison des Korrigans, the Auge du Lépreux and the mysterious Trou de l’Enfer and its caves.

One last idea for your final day: relax on the beautiful Trestraou beach!
