Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer
Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer combines the charm of a fishing village with the relaxation of a seaside resort.
Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer, a charming village
Formerly an island, the peninsula of Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer has long lived from fishing.
Today it is a charming village, out of time, where one takes pleasure in strolling in the flowery alleys. Here, the houses, aligned in rows, are built lengthwise. A tactic to protect yourself from the wind.

A very beautiful little hamlet of old houses adjoins the tower, the crossing on foot starting from Pointe du Chevet attracts many walkers, who go to the island for a picnic before the water rises. .

have pushed to the ruins of the castle of Guildo
Castle motte, fortified castle, princely residence…. The Château du Guildo has many facets and a long and often eventful history. The fortified castle sits in lush greenery, on a rocky outcrop facing the sea. The ruins of the castle were acquired by the Côtes d'Armor department in 1981. In the absence of historical sources, the origins of the castle are still poorly understood.
