Exploring from Le Jardin d’Elliott

Discover the Trégor, with its estuaries, heritage and wild coastline

From Le Jardin d’Elliott, set off to discover a part of Brittany where the water is never far away. Located in Trédarzec, near Pouldouran, the holiday home overlooks the Bizien and its estuary, where the landscape changes with the tides.

Characterful historic towns, harbours, gardens, rugged coastlines… there is no shortage of places to explore. And some are just a few minutes from the holiday home.

Less than 15 minutes from Le Jardin d’Elliott

Pouldouran and the Bizien Estuary

Just below the holiday home, Pouldouran nestles at the head of the Bizien estuary, where countryside meets the sea and fresh water mingles with salt water. Once a small port used by seaweed harvesters, the village has retained its traditional character and offers a landscape that changes dramatically with the tides.

Several walking trails wind through the estuary and along the Bizien valley, passing sunken lanes, hedgerows and traditional flax retting ponds.

Tréguier

A former episcopal town and officially designated Petite Cité de Caractère, Tréguier is best explored on foot. Wander through its narrow streets lined with half-timbered houses, admire Saint-Tugdual Cathedral and enjoy a stroll around the harbour.

Pontrieux

Another Petite Cité de Caractère, Pontrieux lies on the banks of the Trieux river and is famous for its many traditional washhouses, which can be explored by boat during the season.

The Château de la Roche-Jagu Estate

A château overlooking the Trieux estuary, surrounded by an extensive estate with beautiful gardens, walking paths and stunning views over the valley.

The Jardins de Kerdalo

Located in Trédarzec, these remarkable gardens surround a former manor house, with terraced gardens, ponds and lush, abundant vegetation.

The Côte des Ajoncs

North of Tréguier, the coastline becomes increasingly wild. In Plougrescant, don't miss the Gouffre and Castel Meur, then continue towards Penvénan, Port-Blanc and Buguélès, with their rocky shores, tiny islands and picturesque harbours.

The Lézardrieux Peninsula

Between the Jaudy and Trieux estuaries, explore Lézardrieux and the peninsula's little harbours, as well as Lanmodez and Porz Guyon, before heading towards Pleubian and the spectacular Sillon de Talbert, a long natural shingle spit stretching out into the sea.

Paimpol and its surroundings

Take a stroll around Paimpol harbour and through its streets, then head to Beauport Abbey and Pointe de Guilben.

On the other side of Paimpol, explore Ploubazlanec, Pors-Even and Loguivy-de-la-Mer, a small fishing harbour we particularly love, at the mouth of the Trieux estuary. A little further along, Pointe de l’Arcouest offers views across the Bréhat archipelago.

A day trip to Bréhat Island

From Pointe de l’Arcouest, just a short boat ride takes you to Bréhat Island. With no cars on the island, the best way to explore is on foot or by bicycle, following little paths past harbours, gardens and beautiful coastal scenery.

Allow a full day to make the most of your visit.

The Pink Granite Coast

Head towards Perros-Guirec, Ploumanac’h and Trégastel for a day among the extraordinary pink granite rock formations that have made this part of the Breton coastline so famous.

Further afield: ideas for a day trip

Fancy venturing a little further? Head west to discover Morlaix, with its impressive viaduct, historic houses and narrow winding streets. To the east, combine the dramatic cliffs of Cap Fréhel with a visit to the medieval fortress of Fort La Latte.

And if you want to explore even further, there are plenty more possibilities: the Vallée des Saints, Dinan, Saint-Malo, Mont-Saint-Michel and even the legendary Brocéliande Forest.
