Brittany's most beautiful beaches from the sky

Located at the mouth of the Jaudy in the Côtes d'Armor, the Ile d'Er archipelago is made up of several islands and islets of very different sizes. Seen from the air, this Breton island is shaped like a seahorse. This archipelago has an incredible charm. You'd think you were on the islands at the end of the world, like New Caledonia. Proof that you don't have to go far to see magnificent beaches, and that in Brittany too the water can be translucent.

You can get there by kayak or paddle for a Robinson Crusoe day out. But beware of the weather and check the tide times.

Made up of small islands linked by dunes and pebbles, this private island has long been home to farmers. The nice thing is that there is always a spot sheltered from the wind where you can take a dip in one of the many creeks within walking distance.

Île Renote is a magical place with a change of scenery, situated between Trégastel and Ploumanac'h. I'm always overwhelmed by the beauty of the pink granite rocky chaos that lines the beaches. It's a real pleasure to discover this peninsula when you walk along the customs path. What I find superb is that there are several small beaches next to each other.

Access on foot is fairly straightforward, perfect for a family outing. At high tide, it's possible to find a quiet spot among the rocks, sheltered from the wind. Ideally, however, you should go at mid-tide.

Without doubt one of the most beautiful spots in Brittany. At the tip of Beg Pol, the water is crystal clear and the bathing is peaceful. It's a complete change of scenery, especially as it's not a very popular spot. This is Brittany's wild coastline.

My advice: go to Meneham, a former fishing village that has since been completely destroyed and rebuilt. There are art workshops and excellent crêpes. You can also visit the Pontusval lighthouse, listed as a Historic Monument, which shines amidst the magnificent rocky chaos of the Pointe de Beg Pol.

It's a magnificent spot, but also a legendary one. In the 80s, the spot became a legend with the organisation of windsurfing World Cups, making La pointe de la Torche the emblematic site for surfing in Brittany. It's a must for anyone who loves surfing.

I'm personally very attached to the Pointe de la Torche. My life literally changed when I discovered this place. At the time, I was dreaming of becoming a photographer and taking pictures of the best windsurfers in the world. I met some extraordinary people there. For fifteen years, I spent half my time there.

Porz-Guen is one of the most beautiful beaches in Morbihan and southern Brittany. I love its wild side. There are some really nice little coves. There's no urbanisation here. It's a particularly pleasant place to go hiking. The air is invigorating: you can't help but feel the sea spray on your nose!

Some surfers come here to challenge the Atlantic waves. But be careful: swimming is not supervised and can be very dangerous.

It's a place you can explore by paddle or kayak, or by camping out. Easily accessible, the Logoden islands are located close to the beach of the town of Arradon.

The water is beautiful and the swimming peaceful. It's a protected area, as the gulf is virtually enclosed. Recommended for those who want to get off the beaten track and have the beach to themselves... or almost.
