Saint-Uzec Menhir

Highlight • Historical Site

The Saint-Uzec menhir (in Breton: Kalvar Sant-Uzeg) is a menhir located in the town of Pleumeur-Bodou, near the Saint-Uzec chapel towards Ile-Grande. The menhir was Christianized in 1674 during a mission of the "apostle of Brittany", the Jesuit father Julien Maunoir who had it inserted in a plasterwork with access by stile, had it painted, sculpted and surmounted by a cross. The Christianization of the “standing stones” testifies to a desire to assimilate previous religious signs. It shows the Church's desire to integrate the pagan worship of stones into religious syncretism.

Sentier des Douaniers, Île Grande

Highlight • Trail

The Sentier des Douaniers on Île Grande is a must-see route for lovers of the sea and wild landscapes. This coastal path offers breathtaking views of the turquoise waters of the English Channel, fine sandy beaches and rocky coves. All along the way, heather and gorse colour the landscape, while the sound of the waves and the cries of seabirds create a soothing atmosphere.

Île-Grande

Highlight • Settlement

Endowed with wild and varied landscapes, Île-Grande, surrounded by a string of islets, two of which are legendary, welcomes tourists in summer in search of calm and beauty. Rock on the beach, outcropping in the fields, extracted from quarries, or even worked by the hand of man, granite has been omnipresent here for centuries, and will remain so forever.

LPO Bird Protection Center Les Sept-Îles

Highlight • Rest Area

The building of the old quarry now houses a bird protection center run by the LPO organization, comparable to the BUND in Germany. There is a lot of information and also a television screen that constantly shows current images of a colony of "Fou de Basse" - "Northern Gannets" on one of the "Seven Islands". This means that the animals can be observed without being disturbed.
The protection center for injured or oil-contaminated animals is not open to the public.

Île-Grande

Highlight • Other

Explore the beautiful Île Grande on your touring bike for a ride full of coastal charm. The island is connected to the mainland by a bridge, making it easily accessible. You’ll ride along quiet roads that wind past charming stone houses, heather-covered landscapes and rugged coastal paths. As you ride, you’ll be able to admire panoramic views of the English Channel and stop at one of the many rocky coves or sandy beaches for a break.

Chapel of Saint-Uzec

Highlight • Religious Site

The chapel of Saint Uzec was erected in the 14th century, on the boundary of parishes between Pleumeur-Bodou and Trébeurden: the old path, with an east/west axis, still exists, and the Calvary would be the exact boundary between the two parishes. Located on an imposing rock, subsequently largely carved out to provide passage for the road, it faces the menhir of Saint Uzec, visible on the opposite side of the valley. It is adjoined, as is often the case, by a fountain recalling old rites of water worship. It was partially destroyed by lightning in 1974, and gradually restored thereafter, at the initiative of the residents of the neighborhood and the municipality.

Kerguntuil Megaliths

Highlight • Historical Site

A large, a really large stone slab as a cover – I was really astonished.
Here is the translation of the information panel:
The stone monuments of Kerguntuil are remains from the late Neolithic period (around 2000 BC). The passage grave, consisting of several stone slabs, and the dolmen are two very fine examples of megaliths (assemblies of large stones) erected in Western Europe during this period.
Did you know that these passages were rediscovered in the 1930s thanks to the dedication of local volunteers who excavated and restored the monument? It is very likely that our ancestors used these monuments as collective burial sites. Today, these remains bear witness to the architectural genius of these prehistoric people, but also to their worldview. Look at the engravings inside, on the pillars of the mound foundation burial: These pairs of raised protrusions, engraved in relief, are said to represent breasts and the Great Mother Goddess of the Neolithic period.

August 24, 2025,Bike tour west of Perros-Guirec

A wonderful tour to experience some beautiful and impressive places on the Pink Granite Coast of Brittany. Even away from the big paths, but also through the hotspots, taking a few inclines. At the Plage de Pors Mabo you can go bathing and freshen up yourself before it goes up again. Back through bumpy but beautiful natural paths, past the …
