Idea #1: Family weekend

An assault on the flora and fauna!

So you’ve decided to take your family on a green getaway? Well, we’ve put together the perfect programme for you. In Brittany, the Pink Granite Coast is a real life-size playground!

On the hunt… for Brittany’s treasures!

To get your brains working as a family while enjoying spectacular views, start your nature weekend on the Pink Granite Coast by discovering the Goariva site. Perched over 300 metres high, its wind turbines will make your head spin! While the panoramic views over the Trégor and Monts d’Arrée provide the perfect opportunity to take some lovely family photos, there’s also a treasure hunt for everyone to enjoy along a splendid trail! Will you be able to solve all the riddles? Good luck, adventurers!

Like a fish in water

During your family weekend in Brittany, head up the Léguer valley and try your hand at fly fishing! Here, the rivers sparkle and are home to magical wildlife, like the otters you might be lucky enough to spot…

Underwater, salmon and trout may be approachable, but here, we fish… and release! An activity that will thrill young and old alike!

To discover another aquatic environment, why not take a walk in the Quellen marshes? A veritable treasure trove of flora and fauna, you’ll be able to witness the life of frogs, dragonflies and certainly the habits of Camargue horses. They’ll be poking their noses through the reed beds… Keep your eyes peeled!

A holiday in Brittany on wheels

The ideal way for young and old alike to get some exercise, how about a ride on a Velek’Tro? This electrically-assisted bike is available for hire by the day or week throughout the Pink Granite Coast. It’s an environmentally-friendly and fun way to explore the natural riches of our French region. So saddle up!

Immerse yourself in nature

During this weekend in Brittany, explore the Forêt de Beffou by taking to the forest tracks. Thanks to its electric assistance, you can (easily) discover the natural gems hidden away in this historic forest. The Forêt de Beffou covers more than 630 hectares, and at its heart lies Le Pavé, the highest peak in the Trégor region at 322 m. It’s a climb!

Sleeping with the birds of Brittany
After playing the role of budding adventurer, a good night’s sleep is in order for your family weekend in Brittany. To continue in an exploratory mood, opt for unusual accommodation! What do we think? On the Pink Granite Coast, spending a night in a yurt or a cabin perched in the forest is an experience that will delight everyone! Children will be amazed by the flora and fauna all around them. This trip promises to be unforgettable!

Tip #2: A weekend with girlfriends

Chatting and gossiping

When you’re off for a weekend with your girlfriends on the Pink Granite Coast, are you hesitating between beach sessions, oyster tasting and one of our many walks or cycle rides?
To help you make the choice that’s right for you, here are a few ideas for your annual weekend get-together… and chat!

An unusual and environmentally-friendly activity!

Looking for a weekend of cocooning, chatting and… cosmetics? To get your relaxing weekend with your girlfriends off to a great start, we’ve decided to organise a workshop where you can make your own beauty products! This is your chance to get together with friends and learn about emulsifiers. At the end, you’ll leave with your own blush or night oil! Depending on the date and theme, this workshop takes place in a different town: Trégastel, Trébeurden or Pleumeur-Bodou. A great opportunity to take a little tour of the most beautiful villages on the Pink Granite Coast, don’t you think?

Islands and girlfriends for lunch

To continue the day in town, head off for a seafood and oyster tasting in the Trégor region. At an inn in Trégastel or a restaurant overlooking the sea and islands of Trébeurden, you’ll be spoilt for choice! Here, periwinkles and crabs celebrate with fine wines… and so do you!

Tailor-made accommodation!
For a weekend away with your girlfriends in Brittany, stay in a seaside hotel where you can put your towels down in the morning on the Coz-Pors beach, opposite Ile Ronde! If you prefer fresh rather than salt water, opt for one of our hotels with a swimming pool! It’s the perfect place for all your friends to get together and debrief the day’s activities!
If you’re more into fresh grass, spend a night inland, in Plouaret or near the Beffou forest. It’s the perfect opportunity to book a bed and breakfast and share a convivial dinner with the host and learn all the secrets of the region!

Tip #3: Wellness weekend

Absolute relaxation
for young seniors!

It’s time to take a deep breath of fresh air by organising a weekend on the Pink Granite Coast! On the programme: relaxation in a spa hotel on the coast, a solo or duo massage, lunch by the beach in Trégastel with a view of the 7-island archipelago and a frenzied round of golf. A holiday all your own, where the key words are serenity and pleasure.

Brittany at the table

What would an exceptional weekend in Brittany be without crêpes, galettes and seafood platters? Head for the many restaurants on the Pink Granite Coast, where you can feast on langoustines, cheeses and delicious sparkling nectars! To take your taste experience even further, head for the oysters of Trégor, the jewel in our crown. Sit back and enjoy these iodised specialities with a salty breeze, a squeeze of lemon, a glass of white wine – always in moderation – and a splendid view of the beach or harbour!

Dining with the stars

Did you know? The Côte de Granit Rose reaches the top thanks to its Michelin-starred restaurants! During your relaxing weekend in Brittany, treat your taste buds to exceptional dishes at a 100% Michelin-starred lunch or dinner. On the menu for this gastronomic extravaganza: top-quality produce, expertly cooked and flavoured with iodine. We love it!

To whet your palate, head to Lannion or Trébeurden!

A 100% Green weekend

What would a relaxing holiday be without a game of golf? To spice up your relaxing weekend in Brittany, opt for a round of golf in the heart of the moors and pine trees! Overlooking the Pink Granite Coast, the Saint-Samson golf course is undulating, giving it an amazing variety of kicks* (ball bounce)!
And of course, after the effort, the comfort, and for that, the restaurant of the Golf awaits you on its hill to taste lobsters, abalone or still local products between earth and sea!

Relaxation & Spa in Brittany
A 100% relaxing weekend on the Pink Granite Coast, without a stay in one of our spa accommodations? You can’t do that! This is your chance to let your thoughts wander during a massage, a hammam or a jacuzzi session: close your eyes, it’s almost like being on a desert island!
When it comes to choosing your room and accommodation, we’ll let you choose the view? Do you prefer a view of the beach, the sea or the forest?
We’ll let you find your ideal accommodation!
