The sea is never far away, with dramatic cliffs, sandy beaches, and fishing harbors that feel authentic and lively.

#holidayitinerary Quimperlé is a small, tranquil town in Brittany that whispers rather than shouts. When I visited, the main cathedral was closed, and the streets were nearly empty — just the occasional passerby and the soft rustling of leaves. Yet there was something deeply peaceful about the quietude, as if time itself had slowed. As the day faded into dusk, the golden light cast a warm glow over the old stone buildings, making the empty town feel like a living postcard. It may not be bustling, but Quimperlé’s stillness is its own kind of beauty. #travel #trip #france #brittany #quimperlé #smalltowncharm #myitinerary

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 【#Tréguier Town Walk #France Does Not Hide Private Secrets #Brittany Slow Travel】 During this trip to France, I deliberately avoided big tourist cities and chose to go to Tréguier, a quiet town on the coast of Brittany. This small town full of medieval charm is truly a paradise for art lovers and slow-paced travelers. Walking in the cobblestone alleys, there are old wooden-framed houses and balconies with flower windows on both sides. Every photo looks like a postcard. The most eye-catching landmark of the town is the Cathédrale Saint-Tugdual, a magnificent Gothic building. Inside, you can also see the reliquary of Saint Yves's relics, which is of great historical significance. When you are tired of shopping, go to the open-air cafe next to the square, order a cup of fragrant hot cocoa or local cider with fresh crepes, and leisurely bask in the sun and watch the pedestrians coming and going. In addition, there is the magnificent Pink Granite Coast (Côte de Granit Rose) near the town. It is recommended to rent a bicycle or drive there. The sea views and rock shapes along the way are super dreamy. You can choose to stay in a local family inn (chambre d’hôte) in the evening and experience French dinner and warm hospitality. Although Tréguier is not noisy, it is the tranquility and purity that allows people to really slow down and enjoy the true meaning of traveling without rushing. Highly recommended to those who like culture, scenery and in-depth travel! Tréguier is a medieval town in Brittany, France, famous for its historical heritage and architectural heritage. The town originated as a settlement of monks in the 6th century and there are many well-preserved medieval buildings. The core landmark, Cathedral Saint-Tugdual, is one of the most famous churches in Brittany. Its Gothic exterior and the exquisite carvings on the cloister showcase the architectural art of the 14th and 15th centuries, and the stained glass windows inside create a dreamy atmosphere. The town's buildings are mainly made of stone, and residents paint their shutters in colors. Combined with the cobblestone streets and traditional timber-framed houses, it creates a typical Breton style. As for celebrities, the former residence and statue of 19th-century scholar Ernest Renan can be found in the area, and his ideas had a profound influence on French culture. Geographically, Tréguier is located on the northwest coast of Brittany, with a deep-water port and convenient transportation. Recommended places to visit in the surrounding area include the medieval city of Lannion, while La Garba Hotel & Spa offers tourists a comfortable accommodation option. The town attracts a large number of tourists every year and is suitable for travelers who love history, architecture and a tranquil atmosphere.

#Hydrangea Brittany offers a land of extraordinary diversity and astonishment: fine sandy beaches, coves, breathtaking mountain peaks, wild islands, vast bays, it has everything. This Breton land offers you a vast expanse of natural beauty. The countryside of northwestern France is famous for its elegant hydrangea hedges, particularly around traditional stone houses in the Brittany region. The Brittany region's humid climate is suitable for the growth of hydrangeas, and hydrangeas can often be seen blooming on both sides of the coastal road near Saint-Malo. The best viewing period is from June to July. It is recommended to use the coastline and blue sky as the background, and capture the contrast between the sea of ​​flowers and rocks from a low angle. In terms of transportation, take the TGV high-speed train from Paris to Rennes, and then rent a car to Saint-Malo, which is about a 1-hour drive. If you drive yourself, you can stop at multiple viewing points and enjoy the scenery along the way.

#côte de Granit Rose# Côte D'amor# Bretagne it is also known as the pink granite, I was astonished by the pink granite and the color of the shore.

On the French highways and on the country roads, the cars are noticed, and the French are generally speeding. If you walk at the speed limit, they will cling to you behind the ghost like a ghost, and don't push it by the horn. It is close to you. But there is no such problem in the urban area of Paris, because everyone is not going to get up. Sometimes it takes 30 minutes to walk and 30 minutes to drive.

What do you buy from Brittany in France? It must be a sea soul shirt. The sailors here have been wearing blue and white striped shirts since the 1920s, and later became popular in the fashion world. The most authentic sea soul shirt is produced in St. James's clothing workshop, and the factory store will have a 10% discount. Striped T-shirts, striped knitwear and raincoats are worth buying. In the words of a small partner, it is not only clothes but also history.
