Starting from Saint-Brieuc, this trip is resolutely turned towards the sea. You ride along the English Channel, near the cliffs of Goëlo, the Ajoncs coast and the Pink Granite Coast. This trip takes you to a geological miracle: Ploumanac'h’s Pink Granite chaos. Composed of enormous blocks of pink granite with evocative forms, they offer a real moment of wonder. They are among the most amazing landscapes in Brittany. On a dented coast, orned with shoals of pebbles, closed bays and peninsulas beaten by the swell, it offers a magical spectacle that emphasize the changing lights of Brittany. The cliffs offer beautiful coastal roads with stunning wild landscapes. The island of Bréhat and the archipelago of the seven islands can be reached by boat. Embark on short but beautiful cruises to these places of surprising exoticism!

You ride through Paimpol countryside, and cross the Trieux river. You reach Lézardrieux, set back from the sea, bathed by the waters of the English Channel and perched on the edge of the estuary. The route then takes you to Tréguier, a small town of character located at the confluence of the Jaudy and the Guindy, the two rivers that entwine it. We suggest you ride around the Pointe du Château and stop for a few moments at the Gouffre de Castel Meur. On stormy days the rocks vibrate, the wind and the unleashed elements howl with a rare intensity the force of the nearby ocean. The rest of the route offers more surprises as you ride through Port-Blanc and its sentinel. You enjoy many panoramas with a breathtaking view of the horizon. The shorter version of the itinerary brings you to Perros-Guirec by small rural roads through the countryside.

With its fairy style it looks like it is coming straight out of a 1001 night’s tale. It has been watching the coast since the 18th century. The route takesyou to The port of Trebeurden. After the end, you will discover Lannion. The historic center of the city still has beautiful half-timbered façades.
