Plévenon: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

On the coast of the English Channel, Plévenon extends across a small peninsula covered with heathland and heather.

Coast and landscape

The sandstone cliffs of Cap Fréhel are up to 70 metres high and offer views of the roadstead of Saint-Malo. In Plévenon, Plage les Grèves d’en Bas is a sandy beach bordered by rocks.

Hiking

The GR 34 runs along Plévenon and leads through the landscapes of Cap Fréhel. “Plévenon hors des sentiers battus” is a signposted circular walk between land and sea with eight stopping points. The route from Cap Fréhel to Fort La Latte follows the coastal path as an out-and-back trail.

The local hiking trails also lead to a 16th-century calvary cross.

Nature

Seabirds can be observed at the La Fauconnière ornithological reserve; ambassadors of the Grand Site can accompany the observation on request.

Culture and history

Fort La Latte dates back to the 14th century and includes structures from the 13th and 14th centuries. It was classified as a Monument historique on 11 August 1925 and 28 February 1934.

The modern lighthouse at Cap Fréhel was built in 1950 after the previous tower had been destroyed by German troops on 11 August 1944. The Cap Fréhel peninsula is closed to the public; the Château de la Roche Goyon, also known as Fort La Latte, is open to visitors again.
