Discover Brittany's wild emerald coast and its mysterious
Celtic traditions by bike
Jutting into the Atlantic, Brittany sets itself apart from the rest of France in
more ways than one. Strong Celtic traditions and rites of worship are evident
in the prehistoric monuments and vestiges explored on this itinerary.
The indigenous language of Breton, discernible on signs and buildings,
conveys the proud sense of identity found within this region. Brittany's
1100km of wild coastline is home to spectacular medieval villages that
are best explored on foot and by bike. There is plenty of time to take in
the breathtaking wonder of Mont St Michel, along with the 'pirate's town'
of St Malo, quaint seaside villages and oyster and mussel farms along the
way. Following canal towpaths into Brittany's interior of Argoat (meaning
'Land of the Woods') you can discover the ancient fairyland of Dinan and the
picturesque fortress of Combourg, complete with the Lac Tranquille.

Discover on foot the charming coastline between St Malo
and Mont St Michel
From the pirate town of St Malo to the French marvel, Mont St Michel, a
walk along the Emerald Coast in Brittany offers active travellers a chance
to absorb the highlights of the region at a relaxed pace. Beginning in the
harbour town of St Malo whose lively cafes and bars rest in the shadow of
the citadel ramparts, the route follows the GR24, one of France's principal
long distance walking trails. With stops en route at Cancale, famous for its
oysters, and the birdlife‑rich Point du Grouin, the final stage to Mont St
Michel is quite spectacular. Located on a rocky tidal island, the impressive
abbey of Mont St Michel has a colourful history and an imposing position
on the coastal landscape, representing an ideal end to this journey on foot.
