Day 48 Sunday 21 June 2026
We find ourselves in the very picturesque area of the north of Brittany, the Pink Granit Coast. Spending the morning in Tregastel enjoying this beautiful place. We then drove to my cousins’ place in Port Lazo for a lovely afternoon and evening together.
We were only 15mins away from last nights sleepy spot to Trégastel , located in the heart of the Pink Granite Coast . It is known for the 17 km of rugged coastline, where fine sandy beaches, coves, and rocky formations alternate, with islets being revealed at low tide.
Being early we were able to park at the marina (2013, 2015). We went to have a stroll around
The Renote Peninsula. It is a protected natural area that features many pink granite formations, as well as coastal fauna and flora. We enjoyed some stunning views along the Customs Officers’ Path (GR34) which is a 2000km path that follows the coastline from St.Malo to St.Nazier.
From here we drove straight to my cousins, Patrick and Pierrette, place in Port Lazo, the harbour for Plouézec, just near Paimpol. Like most of the Brittany coastline it is surrounded by oyster beds.
We were spoilt with a yummy bbq lunch.
Later Pascal and Jacqueline joined us too. We then went for a walk along another part of the GR34 to the Mill Craca which has been restored. From here we had great views across the bay and Paimpol Bréhat Island. This mill is still a landmark for boats.
Although we have been here before, today it was surrounded by gorgeous fields of hydrangeas.
Then we had another delicious meal for dinner on the terrace with views of the harbour and watching the sun set over Paimpols’ church spire.
