It is its enchanting atmosphere which makes Brittany unique. It is a feeling which is hard to describe but one which you will understand fully when you go there and one which you won't forget when you leave.


About the Cotes D'Armor -

With the rhythm of the waves, the sea reaches deeply into land, immersing Armor in Argoat, leaving richly coloured scenery in its path. It is said here that the sea has made a pact of love with the earth. The green and the blue are in harmony, they care for each other, they revel in one another, and they attract each other. There are even times when they unite and embrace, giving birth to the colours of history, the culture of the land, the yield, and of the heritage of the Côtes d'Armor.
