This is the Château des Tesnières’ departement .
We have mentioned a great deal of its places of interest, but we didn’t mention yet the Côte d’Émeraude. This name is given to the part of the coast between Pointe du Grouin and Le Val-André., which includes some famous beaches : Dinard, St-Lunaire etc. and the city of the privateers St-Malo .The Emerald Coast is rocky, heavily indented and very picturesque. We also shouldn’t forget Dinan and Mont-Saint-Michel.

The other northern departement of Brittany , famous for its Côte de Granit Rose. CapFréhel is one of the grandest on the Breton Coast . Its red, grey and black cliffs rise vertically to a height of 70 m and are fringed with reefs on which the swell breaks heavily. The coastal panorama is vast in clear weather : from Pointe du Grouin, on the right, with Cotentin in the background, to Île Bréhat, on the left.

Not only the most western part of Brittany but also of France , where the people still speak the Breton language.
Dividing the Cornouaille and the Léon and extending eastwards as far as Huelgoat, the Arrée Mountains are the highest in Brittany . Unique are the parish closes, the most typical monumental grouping in Breton communities. Famous towns in this part of Brittany are Roscoff in the north, Concarneau in the south and, of course, Quimper.

The Golfe du Morbihan is very popular in summer for its beaches and scenery, not to forget the Belle Île. Of course the other famous place of interest is Carnac . The considerable number of megaliths surrounding Carnac has made it the symbol of prehistoric Brittany , just like Stonehenge is the symbol of prehistoric Britain.
