Guided by experts and storytellers, we’ll immerse ourselves in the lives of the people who inhabited this land over 30,000 years ago.

Marvel at the Pink Granite Coast:

After a stop at the local market for fresh seasonal produce, cheese, charcuterie, and more, we’ll embark on a hike along the Sentier des Douaniers (Customs Officers’ Path). Originally created in 1791 for customs officers to patrol the coast and prevent smuggling, the path is now a favorite among hikers exploring Brittany’s dramatic shoreline.

This scenic route winds through massive, rose-colored granite boulders—sculpted by wind and sea into surreal shapes—set against a rugged coastline interspersed with sandy beaches, pine groves, and tidal pools. The hike offers sweeping views of this uniquely colored and dramatic seascape.
