Things to do
Out and about
Whether you walk, swim, cycle or simply wander, the Côte d'Émeraude rewards an unhurried pace.
Two great headlands, long sand beaches, a coastal path at the door — and our hand-picked map of where to eat along the way.
The Manoir sits on the Côte d'Émeraude, midway between Cap Fréhel and Cap d'Erquy. The famous GR34 coastal path — the old customs trail — runs the whole shoreline, and Saint-Malo is an easy day out to the east.
One of Brittany's most dramatic capes — cliffs of pink sandstone and grey schist dropping to the sea, wrapped in heather and gorse, with a lighthouse standing watch and seabirds wheeling off the Fauconnière reserve.
A short walk along the coast brings you to the medieval Fort la Latte, perched above the waves on its rocky spur.
Pink-sandstone cliffs shelter a string of fine sand beaches and clear coves — perfect for a swim, a paddle or an afternoon doing very little at all.
Erquy is the scallop capital of France: in season, the coquille Saint-Jacques is the thing to order, landed that morning by the local fleet.
Whether you walk, swim, cycle or simply wander, the Côte d'Émeraude rewards an unhurried pace.
We keep a living map of our favourite places to eat around the Manoir — crêperies and galette houses, harbour seafood, moules-frites by the sea and good local bistros. Tap a pin for our notes.
Ask us at breakfast — we'll happily book you a table and point you to the day's best tide for the beach.
Jerome & Sandra know the coast and its kitchens well. A quiet word over your morning crêpes is the surest way to a memorable evening.
Sea-view rooms, homemade breakfast, and the whole Emerald Coast at the door.
