don't forget to play in stones!
guiiillaume Says: as everywhere on the north coast, you're supposed to take "chemins de doiniers" but it's also very nice to stop in the middle of big stones and admire view.
Sinjoor Says: About ten miles to the north off the "Côte de Granit Rose" the seabird reserveof the "Sept Îles" warrants a visit. Leaving either from the port of Trégastel or Perros-Guirec the tour boats head for the rollercoaster ride towards the collection of seven islands that comprise...
glass jewelry, palm trees and delicious "crèpes"
Sinjoor Says: A short carride away from Pleubian, by way of the cities Lézardrieux and Paimpol, lies the "Pointe d'Arquest". This point is the embarcation point for a boat trip to the nearby "Île de Bréhat". One can either choose for a direct ferry that takes only a few minutes or a 45...

Sinjoor Says: Cap Fréhel, on Brittany's "Côte de Penthièvre" is about 1,5 hours away from Pleubian by car but well worth a visit. On the cape a lighthouse guards the safety of the ships passing it with a beam that reaches 100 kms or 60 miles into the sea. It is open for visits and offers...
Sinjoor Says: At Trégastel, on the coast of pink granit, the "Aquarium Marin" can be found. It's attarction lies not in the extensiveness of its colection because it is a rather small aquarium, but in the fact that it has been build among a accumulation of massive graniet boulders. Each...
Sinjoor Says: On the northern end of the "Presqu'ile Sauvage" (the wild peninsula) lies a strip of land that reaches out into the sea for about two miles or 3,5 kms, the "Sillon de Talbert". At high tide a walk along this remarkable geological feature, made up out of tons upon tons of...

Sinjoor Says: This house, situated on the edge of the sea among a collection of impressive boulders, is probably one of the most visited tourist sights in the area. When coming up to the house one walks along the shoreline of a magnificent bay, with the house across the water in the back....
Le Bar: An accessible snack close by
Sinjoor Says: If you're not looking for any fancy cuisine or want to drive far, the restaurant of campground Port la Chaîne is the closest by. It's menu is rather limited, but the food and the service are more than good. Simple, honest cooking for a reasonable price. Live music sometimes...
Bigouden Blues: "A room with a view"

Both these supermarkets arte located in the town of Pleubian, U-Marché being the closest to the campground at only a few minutes by car. Both offer an extensive array of products, which aren't available at the campground itself.

When visiting the Brittany coast, especially as a novice where the tidal movements are concerned, it is wise to keep out a watchful eye. The tide goes out far at certain locations , offering an opportunity to venture far out among rocky outcrops, for instance looking for fresh seafood, but it tends to rise fast. This might cause you to get caught, because it's not always visible at first glance and only becomes apparent when you find yourself in deeper water than is advisable.

Luggage and bags: a back pack (and maybe a camelbag) might come in handy on the long and beautiful walks that can be done here
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Apart from the obvious stuff you take to the coast, in view of the great rocks lying around on some places along the beaches (see travelogues and sports tip), climbing shoes and maybe a crashpad might be handy if you want to try your hand at climbing. Good hiking shoes will be handy on the hikes along the coastal path.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Sun tan lotion!!!!!
Photo Equipment: If you're into wildlife photography, a camera with a zoom lense is a definite must to observe the colonies of seabirds that nest on the cliffs ( see travelogues and must see tips)
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: If you have kids, bring buckets and fishing nets. They will have a ball scouring the beach and seaweed clumps at low tide looking for shrimp, crabs (watch your fingers and toes!), oysters etc...

Sinjoor Says: Along the "Sentier Littoral" or coastal pathway from Pleubian to the Sillon de Talbert, a small orientation point, Creac'h Maout, offers silent testimony of events that happened there during WWII. It can be reached by a narrow and at times steep path leading up hill from the...
Sinjoor Says: Although it does not appear obvious climbers might also find themselves pleasantly surprised. In several locations along the coast they will encounter magnificent pink granit boulders of a very rough texture. Most of these can be and some are climbed. Near Plougrescant, at...
Sinjoor Says: When you like a walk in the countryside, the GR34 is what you're looking for in Bretagne. GR stands for "Grande Route" and this particular one will lead you along the entire coast of Bretagne. In some places is it is referred to as the "Sentier du Littoral"(coastal pathway),...
