Named for the pink color of the rocky coastline, this marvelous seaside route runs between Perros-Guirec and the port of Plumanasche. Côte de Granit Rose is famous for its incredible rock formations Rochers de Ploumanac'h. These impressive weather structures are located between the beaches of Trestrau and Saint-Guirec. Some of the formations reach 20 meters, and many seem to take the form of recognizable figures such as a witch, Napoleon's hat, and a rabbit. One of the highlights of this coastal area is Perros-Guirec, a popular seaside resort in Brittany (France) and a favorite among Breton families. Perros-Guirec has three sandy beaches with kids' clubs and sports opportunities in the summer.
