Vélektro le vélo facile. Le vélo à asistance électrique de la Côte de Granit RoseOn a 3-day stopover at the Trébeurden campsite, when we saw that our friends were hiring electrically-assisted bikes, we booked straight away. Discovering this part of Brittany without a car, with the freedom of a bike but without the hassle of steep climbs, was a real treat…
And what’s more, it’s environmentally friendly!

You soon get used to the electricity that takes over from your calves! But it’s all a question of dosage, as the guy at the campsite warned us: the battery life will depend on our motivation to pedal. We’ll see who’s bravest at the finish!
At the top of the point, the panorama is simply sublime. The first chaos of pink granite and the islands punctuating an oily sea. On the horizon, you can see the silhouette of the Ile de Batz opposite Roscoff.

We’ll be moving away from the coast (and the cars!) for a while, following small, undulating roads between granite houses, undergrowth and meadows. Some lovely surprises await us along the way, including the chapel and menhir at Saint-Uzec. We leave our bikes for a moment to improvise a few “Leaning Tower of Pisa”-style souvenir photos.
Soon we were back on the coast. The route skirts the bay from Sainte-Anne to Trégastel and passes between ponds where a few birds are resting. Peaceful.
The castle of Costaérès on its pink granite islet, the lighthouse of Ploumanac’h emerging behind the chaos… We’re speechless! But our stomachs are making themselves heard. We leave our velek’tro on the available racks, looking for a quiet spot to picnic. We find a little beach almost just for us, tucked away behind some rocks. Luxury, peace and quiet and our taste buds satisfied!
But soon the tide called us back to order. It’s time to start the return journey!
Is it digestion, or is it getting a bit stronger this way? The energy levels are starting to drop, and it’s with a touch of suspense that the last few kilometres are covered. Who will stall before the finish? But in the end, everyone made it back to the campsite without a hitch, delighted with this day in the fresh air of Brittany and won over by electric bikes!
Suddenly, as we start skating in the sand that has taken over the path: THE picture-postcard view!
