Saint-Lunaire Seafront and Villas

Highlight • Beach

The history of Saint-Lunaire goes back a long way, from its beginnings to the 6th century. But the aura of the fashionable seaside resort that the city still has today is more recent and owes much to the initiative of Sylla Laraque, a wealthy entrepreneur who financed the construction of the casino at the end of the 19th century, the Grand Hotel and many of the build magnificent villas, a power plant and tennis courts. Aristocrats, manufacturers and statesmen, writers, painters and artists come to Saint-Lunaire.

Separate cycle path - is good - as more traffic

Highlight • Other

It's very convenient that the bike path is completely separate here.
There's more traffic on the road here on the coast.

Old castle walls

Highlight • Historical Site

Today serving as a garden terrace with great sunset viewing (and to hold the raised gardens of the Villa above), the historic walls are in part what pushed the road construction out to build a 'balcony' along the rocks above the beach, that's now nice for biking.

View of Béchet Beach

Highlight • Viewpoint

As we approach Saint-Briac-sur-Mer via the mouth of Frémur, the bay with the long arc of the Plage du Béchet lies before us. The Balcon d'Émeraude, the shore road of Saint-Briac-sur-Mer, offers plenty of space (and priority) for pedestrians and cyclists.

Saint-Briac-sur-Mer

Highlight • Other

Saint-Briac-sur-Mer offers an alternation of seaside and countryside landscapes, beautiful jagged coastlines, white sand beaches and coves... which have made it one of the most popular seaside resorts on the Coast. Emerald. The historic center, made up of pretty alleys full of flowers in summer, has beautiful architectural ensembles: sailors' houses (many date from the 18th century), with beautiful engraved lintels: crosses or date of construction. Throughout the walk, we also discover beautiful sea captains' houses (18th century), more imposing and reminiscent of the Malouinières of the region. The current church (1867 – 1877) has retained the old bell tower which dates from 1688. It evokes the architecture of Finistère. Inside, there is a magnificent font. Outside, some stones display sculpted mackerels which bear witness to the contribution of fishermen of the time to its construction...

Napoleon Rock

Highlight • Other

Short trail to a historic lookout rock with great views of the rugged cape jutting out from the little coastal town into the sea, overlooking two romantically named caves, the Grotte des Sirenes to the north and the Grotte des Hirondelles to the west.

Unfortunately, many of the beautiful trails here are reserved for hikers, so it's probably worth planning a mix of cycling and hiking.
