The Armor Coast

Guingamp is one of Brittany’s Cities of Art and History. You will enjoy discovering this as you visit its historic monuments such as the Prison, the Castle, the Plomée, the Basilica, and the half-timbered houses. Over the centuries, the city’s military, religious, and commercial history has given it its authentic character.
Your hotel is located in the center of Guingamp, allowing you to discover all these treasures on foot.

Distance to cover: 44.5 km ( 27,6 miles)

Starting from Guingamp, head north to reach the deep Trieux valley, which you follow to Pontrieux, passing numerous mills spanning the river along the way.
You then leave the Trieux and cross the countryside to reach the Jaudy valley. Follow the river to Tréguier.
Encircled by the Jaudy and Guindy rivers, Tréguier is full of charming narrow streets and small squares, stretching from the port to the top of the hill. Under the protection of the cathedral’s delicate spire, half-timbered houses bear witness to the town’s intense intellectual and artistic influence.

Distance to cover: 48 or 62 km ( 29,8 or 38,5 miles)

Start the day by crossing the Jaudy, then follow it until you reach the Sillon de Talbert, a real geological curiosity that juts out 3 km into a sea dotted with rocks.
Cross the Trieux river and circle the peninsula. On your way, pass through the pretty fishing village of Loguivy de la Mer. Crab, spider crab, lobster… The place is best known for the “bleu de Loguivy,” a true Breton lobster.
The longer option takes you to Paimpol. Narrow streets, small squares, shipowners’ mansions and pretty half-timbered houses from the 15th and 16th centuries bear witness to the region’s past prosperity. Head back towards Tréguier after sampling the “La paimpolaise” oyster, the town’s specialty.

Distance to cover: 44,5 km (27,6 miles)

Leave Tréguier via the north, follow the Jaudy river up to Pointe du Château. Continue west along the coast. Keep your swimsuit and towel handy because from Buguélès onwards, the beaches are so beautiful that it’s hard to resist!
You will finally arrive at Perros Guirec, a magnificent seaside resort.

Distance to cover: 35 km (21,7 miles)

First stop of the day: Ploumanac’h and its beaches lined with pink sea lavender !
Continue west to Île Grande with its wild and varied landscapes. A 7 km coastal path will take you around the island in about 2.5 hours. You will discover the dunes of Toul Gwenn, legendary islands, Celtic ruins, and an ornithological station where you can immerse yourself in the wonderful world of seabirds.
After enjoying a delicious galette, return to Perros Guirec for a boat trip around the seven islands or simply relax on the beach from your hotel.

Distance to cover: 59 km ( 36,6 miles)

Enjoy the sea air one last time before leaving Perros Guirec and heading inland. Your first stop is Lannion, the charming old capital of Trégor. Continue south along the Léguer River, through the heart of authentic Brittany with its isolated hamlets, old chapels, and intersections marked by beautiful granite crosses.
You finally arrive in Guingamp, the last stop on this cycling trip.
