You continue your journey on the Vélomaritime, still criss-crossing the small country roads through the small villages of the Côte d’Armor. You will reach Paimpol and its seaport. You may be tempted by an ice cream on the terrace while admiring the boats, or rather a stroll in the city center.
For this last day, put away your bikes and bring good shoes to go on Brehat Island. Ten minutes of boat will be enough to arrive on this island full of history, where cars are not allowed. 3,5km long, Brehat offers you the possibility to walk and to swim in small creeks, if the tides allow it.
