Our usual morning routine started with a morning walk to Saint-Maurice chapel, where Bronco and me discovered a nice sandy beach. After the breakfast our first destination was to see the Castel Meur house, trapped between 2 rocks and its surroundings. In Perros-Guirec, we tasted the local Crêpes and Cider and after the visit of the Westernmost point of continental France, we settled near the Saint-Corentin chapel.
Tréguier is a port town at the confluence of Le Guindy and Le Jaudy.
The Parish Church of Notre-Dame of Plouguiel is built in the neo-Gothic architectural style, which was popular during the 19th century revival of Gothic architecture.
Bar on the way.
Hope drove past The Église Saint-Pierre de Plougrescant, or the Church of Saint Peter in Plougrescant.
Towards The small house between two rocks in Castel Meur.
The small house is also known as the "Gouffre" or "La Maison du Gouffre," and is indeed a unique and iconic landmark.
It is nestled between two massive granite boulders, giving it a dramatic and picturesque setting. The house was built in 1861 by a local fisherman named Théodore Jacobsen.
The Côte de Granit Rose, or Pink Granite Coast, is a stunning stretch of coastline.
The coastline of the Pink Granite Coast is known for its rugged beauty, with dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, and sandy beaches, all framed by the striking pink granite formations.
Exploring the rocks with Bronco.
Bronco wants an ice-cream.
Like many coastal areas, the cape is subject to erosion caused by the relentless force of the sea.
There are more or less three pink granite coasts in the world, one in Brittany, one in Corsica and one in China, which therefore makes it a fairly popular holiday destination.
Photo session.
In Perros-Guirec we stopped for Crêpes and Cider. Crêpes originate in the Brittany and we have two main types of crêpes in French cuisine: sweet crêpes (crêpes sucrées) and savory crêpes (galettes). In France, February 2nd is celebrated as "La Chandeleur," also known as Crêpe Day.
After another 2 hours in the van, we reached the farthest point of our trip, westernmost point of continental France, 48°24′52″N 4°47′40″W.
Digging the sand on Plage de Corsen.
Buddies.
Well, I confess, we didn't go swimming here, although we should.
Corentin is one of the "Seven Saints" who evangelized Brittany. The Saint-Corentin Chapel is dedicated to him.
The chapel was built between 1898 and 1900, on the site of a primitive 15th century chapel. Above the main altar, there remains a statue of Saint Corentin dating from the old chapel.
