Perros-Guirec is located at the western end of our journey, in the heart of the pink granite coast. Arriving by sea, you can contemplate the archipelago of Sept-Îles (seven island) which hosts the largest colony of puffins, a small marine bird with a colorful beak, emblem of the city. We will stop at Trestraou which is one of the two sandy beaches of this seaside resort. The Grand Hotel is typical of the Art Deco style of the 1920s, the great time of development of sea bathing.
