Hike on the customs path in Perros-Guirec

A very nice hike to admire the pink granite coast in Northern Brittany.

A beautiful, pleasant and easy hike, that's how to define the customs path. Certainly one of the most beautiful hiking trails along the ocean in France.

The site is very touristic and very well maintained. It is possible to make a loop to avoid coming back by the same way but the way back is not very interesting. One will prefer to redo the inverse way with a different schedule of tide because the site changes completely of aspect between the high tide and the low tide.
