Tour highlights

  • The Pink Granite Coast and its surprising colors
  • The variety of landscapes: islands, estuaries, countryside…
  • The historical cities of Paimpol and Tréguier

Day 1Arrival 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.

Day 2Paimpol – Perros-Guirec (via La Vélomaritime) | 46 km


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.

Day 3Pink Granite Coast excursion | 45 km


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 Ploumanac’h.

Day 4Perros-Guirec – Tréguier (along the coast) | 49 km


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.

Day 5Tréguier – Paimpol (along the coast) | 42 km


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.

Day 6Excursion on Bréhat island


After a few kilometers by bike and some minutes by boat, you will arrive on 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 symbole of the island.
Return to Paimpol by bike, then departure at the end of the day.

Possibility to plan an extra night in Paimpol.
