Experience the rugged nature at Cap Fréhel: the headland on the Côte d'Émeraude forms the northernmost point of a promontory that protrudes into the Gulf of Saint-Malo. Admire the different colored cliffs made of reddish sandstone, black slate and the well-known pink-colored granite. Up to a height of 70 m and steeply sloping, they are a special natural spectacle. Especially in spring, countless flowers such as wild hyacinths, daffodils and carnations bloom on the meadows that form the roof of the cliff. The Cap Fréhel is also a bird sanctuary that is home to a number of breeding birds. With a bit of luck, you might see a few: Herring gulls, oystercatchers, herring and kittiwakes, puffins and fulmars. Two lighthouses also complete the overall picture. Enjoy the gallops on the well-trained horses until you reach the coastal town of Erquy. This has ten fine sandy beaches in the immediate vicinity that invite you to take a walk.
