Step 1
Kernivinen orchard
From Lannion, a bicycle path takes you along the old railway line to the Lenn marine pond, next to the port of Perros Guirec. Shortly after joining La Vélomaritime, you’ll pass by the Kernivinen orchard. Take the opportunity to stop off and visit the farm and discover some of the secrets of farm cider-making.

From Trestraou beach to Les Sept Iles
From the Vélomaritime, access to Trestraou beach is signposted. Here you can embark on a guided cruise to the Seven Islands. This nature reserve is famous for its seabirds, in particular the Atlantic puffin and the Northern gannet, which establishes its colony on Rouzig Island between February and July. The trip can be made with or without a stopover on Île au Moine, and will also allow you to discover the landscapes of the Pink Granite Coast from the sea, in particular the famous Ploumanac’h rocks.
Step 3
Ploumanac'h site
If there are any sites on the Pink Granite Coast that are not to be missed, Ploumanac’h is certainly one of them! With its moorlands and its famous pink rocks, with their sometimes evocative shapes, as well as its famous Mean Ruz lighthouse, it offers you the opportunity to put your bikes aside for a moment for a short walk with a view of the sea and the 7 Islands archipelago.
To learn more about the richness and fragility of this remarkable natural site, visit the Maison du Littoral.
The site is signposted from the Vélomaritime itinerary you’re following.

Step 4
The Tourony peninsula
At the end of the day, after passing the Trégastel tide mill, you reach the Tourony peninsula. Here too, the pink granite boulders offer a breathtaking landscape, and a charming beach invites you to take a refreshing dip.
In front of you, in the middle of the bay of sainte Anne, you can see the château de Costaérés, resting on its islet, its towers jutting out of the pine trees.
Step 5
The megaliths of Kerguntuil
Shortly after the start of this second day, you’ll pass by the Kerguntuil site. Here you’ll find one of the largest dolmens in the Trégor region, as well as a 9-metre-long covered walkway. Inside, on one of the pillars, you’ll find small engravings apparently referring to the mother goddess.

Radome Park
Just a stone’s throw from La Vélomaritime, in the commune of Pleumeur-Bodou, stands the imposing Radôme. This large white sphere houses the satellite antenna that picked up the first live transatlantic television signal on July 11, 1962. Now converted into a museum, the Cité des Télécoms offers visitors the chance to learn more about the history of telecommunications and discover this famous antenna. Right next door, you’ll find the Planetarium de Bretagne and the Village Gaulois, a magical place to escape, have fun and learn.
You can also visit the Ecocentre du Trégor, which unveils its creative and playful universe with its permaculture-inspired garden and educational spaces, or take a walk in the treetops at the Vivons Perchés tree-climbing park.
Step 7
The Menhir of Saint Uzec
The imposing menhir of Saint Uzec, standing at the side of the road, has the particularity of having been Christianized. This explains the presence of the cross at the top, as well as engravings representing various symbols of Christ’s passion. The monolith protrudes over 7 metres from the ground, and also features large grooves on its back. This is the result of erosion, which suggests that the boulder may have lain for a long time in the distant past.

The Oyster Workshop
Feeling peckish this late afternoon? Then let yourself be tempted by an oyster tasting at l’Atelier de l’huître, facing the sea! Located on the Toëno peninsula, less than 2 km from the Vélomaritime, l’Atelier de l’huître offers you the chance to taste the oysters grown just a few hundred meters away, all comfortably installed with a view over the bay and Île Grande.
Step 9
La Pointe de Bihit
Climbing up the corniche de Trébeurden, you arrive at one of the most beautiful panoramas of the Pink Granite Coast. From the orientation table, you can overlook the Pointe de Bihit, with Île Milliau on your right and a view of the whole Bay of Lannion on your left. Get your cameras ready!
You can also walk around the pointe via a steep path.

Arrival
Historic town of Lannion
Before getting on your bike, take time to discover the town of Lannion, a Cité d’Art et d’Histoire, set on the banks of the Léguer estuary. As you stroll through its narrow streets, you’ll notice the rich architecture of its monuments and enjoy the charm of its timber-framed houses. Before heading into the Stanco valley, you can also climb the steps of the famous Brélévenez staircase for a superb view of the town.
