Saint-Guirec beach
Perros-Guirec
About
Opposite the small beach of white sand stands a granite oratory, built around the eleventh and twelfth centuries from an old Gaulish stele (carved stone slab). Capitals carved with animal designs adorn this monument, which contains the statue of Saint Guirec. Dating from the fourteenth century, the original wooden sculpture was replaced with a granite version in 1904. It was custom for single women to try to stick a needle in the statue; if they succeeded, legend has it, they would be married within the year! Take a look at the small chapel also dedicated to Saint Guirec and notice the shape of the building. Doesn't it remind you of the hull of a boat? Can you make out the impressive outline of the Château de Costaérès in the distance? You can learn about its history at Tourony bay. The whole area of Ploumanac’h, with its remarkable rock formations and lighthouse, is accessible via the coastal path.
