Things to see and do Côtes-D'Armor

This particular place symbolizes the meeting of the past and present: the building renovated and reinvented for modernity dates back to the nineteenth century! In this former tuilery-brickyard, there is now a museum documenting the history of the bay: fishing on foot, gardening and the activity of the brick of course, but also a space dedicated to temporary exhibitions of contemporary art. Much more than a museum, Briqueterie offers many animations during the summer: giant games for the young public, musical siestes, sculptures of sculptures, street art, multimedia facilities, art workshops, treasure hunts… The easiest thing is to go there.

Ferme de Kémo is an educational and animal mediation farm located in Corseul.

La Pauline is a ship built in 1901, and resembles the first lobster vessels from Loguivy, rigged in bocq or sloop. Dahouët and Saint-Jacut are probably the only ports in the bay of Saint-Brieuc where you can still find flambarts, in the first half of the 20th century. After the First World War, the port's activities slowed down and these boats gradually disappeared. It is on board a replica that it is possible to go for a walk at sea, to play hide and seek between the islets of Bréhat or to push as far as the Channel Islands. Given the importance of the tides in Dahouët, the boat takes you on trips of 3 hours, 12 hours or... a few days. Time to take the helm, learn the manoeuvres and the rudiments of navigation. Between occasional crew members and longtime sailors, the current is flowing right away. Conviviality is at its best.

The Ferme de Malido, which proposes chambres d'hôte and cottages, premises hire and even of camper van, does not stop there. In a corn field, strewn with dead ends and obstacles, all is made to give you some difficulties before finding the outing. To note also a naked course "foot" of 800 meters from a bus stop to discover 40 different textures, a course of address as well as a tour of kart with pedals on a track of 200 meters from a bus stop and inflatable structures for the small ones as well as games out of wood giant and traditional. Night evenings (until 0:30) are also due Tuesday to leave the maze provided with its torch!

This wooded territory, dotted with valleys, moors, chaos and forests, offers beautiful hikes. For fishermen, there is no shortage of water.

Located between land and sea, Pleumeur-Bodou is an authentic and contrasting commune.
