A sea of treasures
In Perros-Guirec, the fish market on Rue Ernest Renan is a local institution. From eight in the morning, fishermen's wives offer the day's catch, brought in that very night. From October to March, Perros-Guirec boats harvest scallops in the Bay of Saint-Brieuc, crustaceans between Île-Grande and Landrellec, and fish all along the Pink Granite Coast. A portion of the catch is sold at the Saint-Quay-Portrieux fish auction, the sixth-largest fishing port in France.
Nearby, the Viviers de Trégastel and Trégor Coquillages et Crustacés in Landrellec offer lobsters, brown crabs, langoustines, and fine oysters, sourced directly from local fishermen.
Another local treasure is seaweed harvesting, which is listed in France's inventory of intangible cultural heritage and continues a thousand-year-old tradition along the Breton coast. Red algae, dulse, nori, and wakame are hand-picked at low tide. For guests at the Castel Beau Site, this marine freshness is naturally found at La Table de mon Père, the hotel's restaurant, where the briny flavors of the Trégor region take center stage.
