Cape Erquy
A découvrir :
This conservation area is equally taken care of by a protection program, aiming to restore the natural balance after it had been damaged by the huge number of visitors. Overwhelming pink sandstone cliffs are characteristic for this setting. Frequently used for house-building and street cobbling, the sandstone endows its very own charm to local buildings. Along the customs trail, the vegetation is very colorful: delicate mauve heath and bright yellow gorse live in harmony in the middle of the green landscape. Great efforts have permitted the fragile balance of the setting to be restored and nature has now taken over again. A variety of heathland can be encountered along the meanders of the paths surrounding the cape. All around, wild beaches with abounding vegetation delicately describe the curves between the two rocky peaks heading towards the sea. ![]() Erquy - Jean-Patrick Gratien
