Bike tour in northern Brittany : Côte de Granit Rose, Paimpol and Île de Bréhat.
Discover a bike tour in northern Brittany. Among the many coasts of Brittany, the Pink Granite Coast – by bike – located north of Lannion, is certainly the one with the strongest personality, with its fishing ports like Perros-Guirec, Trégastel, Pleumeur-Bodou and Trébeurden. There, the pink granitic chaos, formed over 300 million years ago, and sculpted by the combined action of wind, rain, salt and frost, is today an extraordinary landscapes…, a natural jewel of Brittany.
After a first night in Lannion, you reach the Armorican coast and the “Pointe de Bihit”. Already a breathtaking panorama! After a nice warm-up on the “velomaritime” road bike in the Breton countryside and along the wild coast, you will reach the Ploumanac’h lighthouse. The spectacle of pink granite blocks then begin! You reach the village of Perros-Guirec.
The journey takes the eastern route and changes of style. The pink colore loses its intensity, but remains wild and chaotic until Treguier, a small town of character where you will spend the night. Few surprise on this ride such as the tip of the castle and the famous house of Castelmeur.
The next day, you will succumb to the charms of Brittany’s historic fishing ports. This bike ride takes you to one of the most famous, Paimpol. Place of marine songs festivals or old rigging, sailboat races, the city offers many festivities on the port. A rich history with Newfoundland and the ardor of the Paimpolais sailors who left there for several months every year. Cod cuisine is still a specialty here that we invite you to taste.
From paimpol, we suggest a loop journey towards a flowered island, a little gem of the northern coast, Bréhat island.
Finally, you will complete this loop by biking through the inland, cycling through the village of Pontrieux, a small listed historic town in Brittany, before reaching Lannion, the end of your cycling trip in Northern Brittany.
