Cote D Armoir

Cote D ´Armor - The North Coast in Breton


Beautiful but extremely difficult to approach from the sea because of the vast amount of off lying rocks and the tidal water that empties totally the fairways. Calculating is essential and local knowledge is highly evaluated.

The beauty is hard to describe in words and shows better on photographs. Our 5-day journey consisted of beaches and long walking tours on the sand as well as cultural events on the coast. Ark Angel Michael was also present in many churches we visited. The farmhouses were prosperous and even a groundhouse ( earth ship ) was found on the hills of Montagnes Noires. St Malo stays still number one of the cities in Breton and of course Mont St. Michael is great.
Some stones to look after.







Here the most beautifol harbour of Plouguerneau.  There is one fairway but some knowledge is better to be in hand.



Some photographers I met on the sand of St. Malo beach on a misty morgning. The group were photographing the lighthouses of the coast.



The water disappears totally here. Like Perros Quirec almost every harbour is not possible to enter with the low water.




Brest is lively town and even a new tram line is opened here recently. Only Quay Eric tabarly is no more like it used to be with Tour de monde mussel restaurant. A new complex Chateau  Marina is here to serve several hundred boats.
