La Roche des Poètes (The Rock of Poets) is an iconic site on the Pink Granite Coast near Ploumanac'h in Brittany, France. It pays homage to the writers and poets who were inspired by this place, including Gabriel Vicaire, Anatole Le Braz, and Charles Le Goffic. A medallion bearing the image of each poet adorns the rock, symbolizing a literary pilgrimage and an annual festival that has been held there since 1910.

The Syndicat d'Initiative de Perros-Guirec and some writers decided in 1910 to make a rock located between La Clarté and Ploumanac 'h, a place of remembrance for writers inspired by the site. The placement of a medallion bearing the effigy of the commemorated character gives rise to a festive day called the Feast of the Songs of the Trégor which is intended to be a pilgrimage. The first celebration took place on August 28, 1910, with the installation of the medallion of the poet Gabriel Vicaire, designed by the sculptor Pierre Lenoir. On September 2, 1928, the medallion of the writer Anatole Le Braz produced the same year by Armel-Beaufils was inaugurated. The Charles Le Goffic medallion made by Louis-Henri Nicot in 1933 was affixed on August 26, 1934. The rock successively took the name of Rocher du Dante, Roche des Soupirs, Roche des Martyrs and Roche des Poètes. patitage.bzh/gertrude-diffusion/dossier/monument-dit-la-roche-des-martyrs-ou-la-roche-des-poetes-ou-le-rocher-du-dante-ou-la- rock-of-sighs / 0385cae0-539f-4757-9624-845bac94d1fa
