Bonaparte Beach

Highlight • Beach

Bonaparte Beach, named after the code name given to this historic site during World War II, is also known as Anse Cochat. It has the unique feature of being accessible via a tunnel carved into the rock.

From this stretch of beach, now known as "Plage Bonaparte," members of the French Resistance smuggled 135 English and Canadian pilots—including Jane Birkin's father—whose planes were shot down to England during World War II, past the Nazis. Commemorative plaques in the tunnel still bear witness to these events.

Bréhec

Highlight • Other

Despite its small size, the town of Bréhec has many shops. Isolated from the large crowds of Paimpol or Saint-Brieuc, it constitutes a first choice refuge for itinerants who walk the GR 34 (customs officers' path).

As the equinoxes approach, the ocean recedes into the distance and reveals a large and languorous beach. Don’t be surprised by the onlookers who go there armed with a rake. They came for sand lance, a fried food very popular in the region.
