Trestrignel beach & Pointe du Château headland

Perros-Guirec

About

This rocky outcrop, which marks the entrance to the natural harbour of Perros-Guirec, long played the role of strategic defensive outpost against enemy attacks. Since then, the area has changed significantly. Far from repelling invasions, today it welcomes a large number of tourists, who come to admire the views and enjoy the sandy beach. The area is home to some beautiful villas built from the end of the nineteenth century onward. Be sure to take a look at the villa in which the avant-garde painter Maurice Denis lived. Its neo-medieval style and Spanish influences are very unusual.
