Brittany's Emerald Coast
It's almost impossible to resist the appeal of the spectacular Emerald Coast with its pink granite cliffs and clear turquoise seas. Gastronomic delights are easy to come by in this coastal area, not least the the region's signature dish: a seafood platter, piled high with shiny pink lobster, king prawn, silver oysters, scallops and clams. The cycling itself takes you past beautiful sandy beaches and through quaint, colourful Breton fishing villages that have been unchanged since medieval times.More Information
