The Cotes d'Armor region occupies a large part of the northern coast of Brittany, running from beyond Lannion in the east, to just east of Dinard in the west.

It is for the coastline - impressive sandy beaches, cliffs and rock formations etc - that most people visit this region of Brittany. See Brittany seaside which includes in particular the Cote de Granit Rose that falls within the Cotes d'Armor department (as does part of the Emerald Coast).

'Non-beach' attractions

The town of Lannion is a large and busy port, while Dinan is an interesting historical walled town.

Some of the towns in Cotes d'Armor include the cathedral town of Tréguier and also Paimpol, with the inland port town of Pontrieux to the south towards Guingamp. Futher inland, Quintin features some medieval buildings and a 17th century chateau, in a pleasant setting overlooking the broad waters of the river Gouet.

Inland slightly along the valley of the river Arguenon is Plancoet.

Lannion / Paimpol

A little way inland from Saint-Brieuc (another cathedral town) you will find Moncontour, town with an interesting historical centre that was once the centre of Brittany's linen production. West of Saint-Brieuc is Guingamp, best known for the chateau and basilica.

Beauport Abbey (one of just 33 listed 'Grand Sites of France') is also in the Cotes d'Armor department, as is the cistercian Abbey Notre-Dame de Bon-Repos. Note that Cap d'Erquy (coast next to Cap Frehel) is another 'Grand Site' also to be found in this department of France - visit Fort-la-Latte while you are there.
