Description
The "Emerald Coast" runs along the north coast of Brittany from St-Malo and Dinard to Cap Fréhel. Along this stretch of coast are numerous seaside resorts like Dinard, Paramé, Servan-sur-Mer, Rothéneuf, St-Briac, St-Lunaire, Lancieux, St-Jacut, St-Cast et Cancale (oyster-beds), all linked by a coast road. The most striking feature is Cap Fréhel, which rears to a height of 72 m/236ft above the sea, affording fine views of the coast. It can also be reached from Dinard by boat. Inland from the coast are Dinan, Fougères and Combourg, with a Château which was the family home of the 19th C writer and statesman René de Chateaubriand. At Essé, southeast of Rennes, is the Roche aux Fées, a megalithic chamber tomb.
