Fréhel and its famous cape are certainly among the most beautiful natural sites in Brittany. With nearly a million visitors each year, this magnificent corner of the Côtes d'Armor is the ideal destination for a holiday under the sign of escape, which will surely please lovers of breathtaking landscapes.
Nestled between Saint-Malo and Saint-Brieuc, the commune of Fréhel, famous for its cliffs and its cape of the same name (located on the commune of Plévenon) face an endless emerald sea. Overlooking the sea from more than 70 meters, these rocky spurs made of pink sandstone and schist will offer you panoramas among the most beautiful of all Brittany. A jewel of undefinable beauty, Cap Fréhel overflows with unforgettable views. When the sun rises or sets and its warm rays caress the cliffs, they are tinted the same color as the horizon, for a perfect picture worthy of the most beautiful canvases. Both mystical and relaxing, Cap Fréhel is one of the most beautiful sites you will see during your stay. Full of history, the Cape lighthouse is worth a visit : rebuilt after the Second World War, it is one of the 5 most powerful French lighthouses. With its lantern over 100 metres above the sea, it is visible from 53 kilometres away. Another visit not to be missed under any pretext : Fort La Latte. Classified as a Historic Monument, it is one of the most visited castles in Brittany. Built in the 14th century, this magnificent feudal fortress built in pink sandstone is an amazing place, which will make you leap in time. With its drawbridge, its walls, its keep, its dungeons and its medieval garden, Fort La Latte is ideal for those looking for a little freshness in summer. Because yes: in spring and summer, you need beautiful and even hot in Brittany, no matter what you say !
A paradise for hikers, Fréhel is dotted with a multitude of itineraries for all levels. Via the GR34 (the famous "customs trail"), follow the coast to admire its sumptuous landscapes, changing to the rhythm of the tides and the seasons. 17 kilometres of marked tracks cross Fréhel and its commune of Plévenon, through rocks and coastal paths. Several hiking loops, ranging from 6 to 22 kilometres for the most sporty, will be appreciated by holidaymakers : from Cap Fréhel to Saint-Malo, passing by the mysterious Chaos du Gouet, Cap d'Erquy, Île de Bréhat, through the moors of Cap Fréhel, the cliffs and the ornithological reserve of La Fauconnière, the old quarries as well as the beaches of Fréhel and Sable d'Or les Pins, you will discover unique landscapes, inviting to contemplation and totally changing landscapes. Our good advice : to not miss any itinerary, remember to download on your phone the application "Rando Baie de St Brieuc" which will give you access to a multitude of circuits for young and old. Mountain bikers, Fréhel will make your happiness since the road-bike linking Brittany to Great Britain crosses the commune of Fréhel on more than 20 kilometres. Thanks to this green route, you can quickly connect some of the most beautiful sites in the region, from Cap d'Erquy to Cap Fréhel.
In terms of sporting activities, you can go horse riding on the beaches of Fréhel, but also fishing, diving, flyboarding, hoverboarding, towed buoys, kitesurfing, surfing and paragliding. For long relaxation breaks under the sun, the Anse du Croc beach is ideal. Offering one of the most beautiful views over Cap Fréhel, it is totally preserved and stretches over 800 metres along the GR34. Surrounded by dunes, rocks and maritime pines, this crescent-shaped beach is one of the most beautiful in Brittany. Children can collect a whole collection of shells and take advantage of the shallow waters to swim and play in the water. During the summer, you can even attend concerts with your feet in the water.
Finally, in addition to being a wonder for the eyes, Fréhel is undeniably a treat for the taste buds of gourmands : scallops from Erquy, mussels from Bouchot, oysters from Fréhel, seafood platters, cocos from Paimpol, local beer, artichokes, cider, far breton, crackers and cakes from Brittany will be in the spotlight on your plates during this Breton stay !
