Camping de Roguennic

Walking and cycling trails start from the site: hire a bike from the team or take off on foot to investigate the spectacular Breton coastline all around, past sandy beaches, peaceful coves and protected dunes. A tourist office with info on the lengthy heritage and sizeable historic attractions of the region is in Cléder. The port and seaside resort of Roscoff, with its handsome alleyways, decorated houses, Gothic-style church and botanical gardens, is 25 minutes' drive north-east kilometres from the site. This is also the setoff point for the 15-minute ferry to the Île de Batz, to see its beaches, lighthouse and exotic gardens. Bob around in another boat from Carantec, a little further along the coast from Roscoff, to have a look at the Château du Taureau, spectacularly set on one of the tiny rocky islands of Morlaix Bay. Morlaix town, in the foothills of the Monts d'Arrée mountains, should also be on the must-see list, for its handsome viaduct and splendid overhanging houses. If you're after something really remote, or keen to get in a bit of birdwatching, take another boat trip from Perros-Guirec, well worth the hour and a half drive to access the beaut surroundings and flocks of birdlife of Les Sept Îles, off the Pink Granite Coast. Puffins, guillemots, fulmars and kittiwakes are among the many species that live here, among a rocky and green landscape where humans have rarely lived.
