This is a another remarkably beautiful coastline just across the water from England, quite different from the rest of Brittany. Famous for its 'chaos' of pink granite, there is plenty to enjoy on this holiday from a short cruise around the Sept Iles and the beaches of the artist town of Perros-Guirec to the sea-mill at Tregastel and the charming town of Lannion. The area also has a rich biodiversity and one of the first clinics to help birds affected by oil slicks was opened at Trébeurden.
