The “Côte de Granit Rose”, the pink granite coast of Brittany.

In this post, I invite you to explore the mystical beauty of Brittany’s Pink Granite Coast, a place where I spent countless enchanting summer months as a child.

The Côte de granit rose or Pink Granite Coast is a stretch of coastline in the Côtes d’Armor departement of northern Brittany, France. It stretches for more than thirty kilometres from Plestin-les-Grèves to Louannec, encompassing Trégastel. It has become a popular tourist destination due to its unusual pink sands and rock formations.
