Trédrez-Locquémeau: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

In Trédrez-Locquémeau, the Falaises de Trédrez form an approximately 4.5-kilometre-long rocky coastline from the Lagune du Vorlenn to Plage de Toul-ar-Vilin. They can be explored along the customs path; at low tide, geological formations become visible there.

Coast and Nature

Below Pointe de Dourven lies Plage du Notigou, a sandy beach offering views, in clear weather, of the port of Locquémeau and the Bay of Lannion. It is located on the GR34 and offers hikers on their way to the Falaises de Trédrez an opportunity to rest.
