Trébeurden – an old fishing village
The village of Trébeurden, which lies in Brittany, on the northern coast of France, is a pretty old fishing village which is adapting well to its new incarnation as a tourist destination for those who love nothing better than a slice of authentic Breton life. The village is well situated for further exploration of the area too, close as it is to the pretty town of Perros Guirec, the pink granite cliffs that sweep dramatically along this stretch of coast, the stunning beaches of Ploumanach, the port of St Malo and the lovely mediaeval town of Dinan.

Tuesday morning market
A truly delightful way to spend a morning is on offer to all who are in Trébeurden every Tuesday morning... as long as they can be bothered to get out of bed early enough! The market sets up in the centre of the town, and all manner of gleaming fresh produce is laid out on the stalls, tempting you to buy everything from glossy fruits and vegetables to seafood, crepes and aromatic paella.

All mod cons
Trébeurden has made the transition from traditional fishing village to seaside resort without losing its charming atmosphere, but it's good to know that all the facilities you need to enjoy a modern lifestyle are on hand. There are shops, restaurants, bars and banks as well as ancient churches, monuments and stunning landscapes.
