Côte de Granit Rose

.

Briac has left early, as we were still asleep. He has to get back to work. With only a couple hours of sleep, I guess his day shall not be the very productive…

We wake up pretty late and enjoy the morning. Time for some tourism. Since this is Boris’s first time in Brittany, we want to show him around and do some tourism. Hard choices, there are so many things to do in the region. We decide for the Cote de Granit Rose (the Pink granite coast) so called because of the colour of the stones in this part of Brittany. The weather is slightly less nice today, and we fear some showers will spoil the day. From home to Paimpol, it’s an hour’s drive through some roads. We reach the coast and picnic on the beach. As we finish, it starts raining, so we drive around, showing Boris the countryside. We reach Tréguier, a city full of character with a superb traditional architecture. The Cathedral is stunning and not to be missed. We wander around the city a bit and then drive to Perros Guirrec. This is where one can find the world famous pink rocks. The weather is now superb, it’s late so very few people are around and we can enjoy the place at our own pace.

Back home, we prepare Brittany’s speciality (there aren’t many anyways…): galettes (buckwheat pancake) and crêpes. Not to forget Brittany’s equivalent to water: Apple cider!

Lovely evening by the fore again. But we’re all pretty tired so do not last long.
