Hiking Guide - Brittany, Vol. 2: Côtes d'Armor and Ille-et-Vilaine, the most beautiful hikes | Glénat

Brittany is a land of hiking. Its paths, whether coastal or inland, offer a wide variety of landscapes, a rich and varied history, an authentic heritage, and an inimitable charm. This second volume offers 26 day itineraries in the Côtes d'Armor and Ille-et-Vilaine regions, as well as five 2- to 3-day excursions.

Brittany in the Côtes-d'Armor and Ille-et-Vilaine regions boasts a prestigious coastline: the famous Pink Granite Coast shares it with the seaside resort of Dinard, and the ramparts of the city of Saint-Malo are among the must-sees. In terms of superlatives, it is on its coasts that the highest cliffs in Brittany culminate, in Plouha.
The most famous of its island beauties, however, is found by chance on a small, capricious coastal river, a few meters from its borders, in Normandy. The elegant silhouette of Mont Saint-Michel, nonetheless, constitutes a charming setting and a focal point for hikers who walk through the grassy marshes surrounding the area.
Each of these two departments has a canal along which it is pleasant to unwind: the Nantes-à-Brest Canal and the Ille-et-Rance Canal. Both offer hours of leisurely strolling to the slow rhythm of the channeled water.
Here are 26 day itineraries (with variations) as well as five 2- to 3-day itineraries to discover the must-sees as well as the secret treasures of Côtes-d’Armor and Ille-et-Vilaine.
The first volume is dedicated to Finistère and Morbihan.
