Sillon de Talbert Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

A quite unique pebble promontory (sillon) which juts out into the sea by about 3km. Giving you the unique perspective of having the sea on both sides of you. An important nature reserve for nesting sea birds.

Mer Melen

Highlight • Other

Another vantage point for taking in the coastal views. Interesting both at high tide and low tide where a pair of binoculars are useful for watching the birdlife.

MEGA natural spectacle : 💖

The Sillon de Talbert, a promontory that protrudes about three kilometers into the sea, forms a kind of exclamation point on the Pays du Trégor peninsula. The narrow promontory of stone and pebbles, only 35 meters wide, was formed by the opposing currents of the Trieux and the Jaudy. (Excerpt: Bretagne-Reisen)
‼️At the beginning there …

A walk along the unique Sillon de Talbert. Very peaceful to be cut off from the land to a certain degree with just the sea breeze and sun (if your lucky) for company.
Be careful regarding the tides as at high tide the breech in the sillon cuts you off from the mainland. At low tide you can walk further …

June 16, 2023,🇫🇷 Sillon de Talbert

Hiking on the Sillon de Talbert headland is only possible at low tide because a tideway has to be crossed.
You walk over sand and lots of pebbles. It's very tiring, but beautiful.

One of the age-old curiosities of the Côtes d'Armor.
To do according to the tides, find out on the town hall website which indicates the times where hiking is possible.
The most beautiful view is when walking on the top of the furrow but it is tiring because you walk on pebbles almost the entire way.
At high or low …

A remarkable place to visit, with a very strong contrast in the landscape between high and low tide, especially when the tidal coefficient is above 100, as it was today. But you have to like stones! 😉

Today hiking was on the agenda again. Sillon de Talbert - a unique peninsula. About 4km long and only a few meters wide at high tide. We were there at low tide, so it sometimes seems infinitely far 😳. The subsoil varies from sand to pebbles of various sizes to rock. You have to pay attention to the little …
