Welcome to Trégor and ‘les Côtes d’Armor’

Trégor is one of the nine historic provinces of Brittany and covers the north-west of ‘les Cotes d’Armor’ and the north-east of Finistère. Its principal towns are Lannion, Morlaix, Perros-Guirrec, Guingamp and Tréguier. Its magnificent coastline on the Bay of Lannion (between Mont St Michel and la Pointe du Raz), is bordered by the rocky outcrops of the Pink Granite Coast and rugged cliffs.

Our campsite is in Tredrez-Locquémeau which is bordered by the sea to the north and the west. The village of Locquémeau itself lies just beneath the Pointe du Dourven. On one side there is a large beach (Notigou) and on the other side is a small beach (Kiriou), the harbour and the Pointe de Séhar. The cliffs at Trédrez to the west are a classified site. To the south lies the pretty seaside resort of Saint Michel en Grève, well-known for its long sandy beach, and historic buildings, particularly the mariner’s cemetery.

There are plenty of things to do in the area :

- Walks along the GR34 and ‘Voie Romaine’ coastal footpaths

- Sports including sea-kayaking, sailing, sand-yachting and windsurfing at Plestin les Grèves watersports activity centre.

- Places of interest to visit such as Rosambo, Kergrist, Tonquédec, the mill at Crech Olen and also numerous chapels, churches and churchyards.

- A wide range of cultural and leisure activities at very reasonable prices are available at the Cap Armor Centre.

Make the most of your stay in our beautiful area!.
