Brittany's Northern Coastline

Arrival in Paimpol

Take time to walk in Paimpol in its animated and historical center along its little paved roads, or on its fishing port and marina.

Paimpol – Perros-Guirec (via La Vélomaritime) | 46 km (elevation gain +388m)

The Vélomaritime takes you in little rural villages along Brittany’s countryside roads. Cross the Trieux and Jaudy estuaries and finish in Perros-Guirec, a well-known sea resort town.

Pink Granite Coast excursion | 44 km (elevation gain +436m)

Cycle in the heart of the Pink Granite Coast, a surprising coastline: if you look towards the sea, you will see the Sept-Iles (Seven Islands), a birds’ nature reserve and the Costaeres castle, nestled on a little island visible from Ploumanach.

Perros-Guirec – Tréguier (along the coast) | 46 km (elevation gain +671m)

Leave Perros-Guirec and go along the coast, its ends and beaches, in direction of the Plougrescant chasm. There, the sea surges in a fault between two rocks. Then stop in Tréguier, small historical town known for its cathedral and its timber houses.

Tréguier – Paimpol (along the coast) | 43 km (elevation gain +463m)

Cross the Jaudy and cycle towards de Sillon du Talbert. Unique in Europe, this pebble and sand arm goes in the sea for over 3 kilometers and protects the Bay of Paimpol from wind and sea currents. Continue cycling and cross the second estuary of your day, the Trieux.

Excursion on Bréhat island | 13 km (elevation gain +134m) + free stroll around the island

Just a few pedal strokes and you'll be on your way to the Arcouest pier, and in just a few minutes on the Vedette, you'll be on your way to Bréhat! Forbidden to cars, enjoy free walking on this timeless – while so close to the continent – island. Nicknamed the « Flower Island », contemplate camellias, mimosas or agapanthus, the symbol of the island. Return to Paimpol by bike.
