Here we are at what is probably the most famous rocky coastline in northern Finistère. The Côte de granit rose. It wasn’t easy to edit the crowds out of the picture. We were lucky that the weather was changeable that day and the rain shower from the north drove the tourists away. Permalink: flickr Location: […]

The Ile de Callot can only be reached at low tide (unless you have a boat). Before the tide reveals the road, it exposes a sandbank that allows you to walk to the island. The Channel leaves seaweed on the beach. These plants are highly ionised and have a rather strong smell, but they were […]
We actually wanted to go swimming, but it turned into a hike. The surreal landscape on the shore of the bay makes the low tide look like a moonwalk. Here you can see the bay of Pnte de Perharidi without water.
