Walking the coastal path

Today we set our sight's on Ploumanac'h an hour & half from Riscoff in the Cote d'armor region of France. This area is known as the pink granite coast and so we planned to walk part of the Sentier des Douaniers (coastal path) to explore the red granite bolders which have been sculpted by the sea.

On arrival it was drizzling and the clouds look ominous. We decided to walk anyway and started out towards the town of Trestraou. By the time we had arrived the cloud was clearing and so we had our sandwiches on the beach.
