An impressive bridge – restored. At low tide, the view from the bridge isn't so nice – there's a lot of silt to see.

The Plage de Trestraou in Perros-Guirec developed into a popular seaside resort as early as the 19th century. With the advent of the Belle Époque, magnificent villas were built along the coast, which still characterize the seaside resort's charm today. The connection via the then railway line encouraged an influx of holidaymakers from all over France. Today, the villas, the jagged granite cliffs, and the numerous hydrangea bushes make the bay a wonderfully photogenic destination.
