Brittany itinerary: 7 days from Saint-Malo to the Pink Granite Coast
A week combining Saint-Malo, the Emerald Coast and the Pink Granite Coast, with only 3 bases so you spend more time exploring and less time driving.
Four guiding ideas
Why 3 bases instead of a rushed road trip?
Fewer hotel changes make the days more coherent, leave more time on site and give you real flexibility to adapt the pace of the trip.
Fewer kilometres
Visits are grouped by geographic logic.
A clear pace
The plan alternates fuller days with slower ones.
An adaptable framework
Duration, children, budget and interests can all change the route.

7 days, 3 bases
Saint-Malo (2 nights) → Dinan & the Rance valley → Cap Fréhel / Pléneuf-Val-André (2 nights) → Ploumanac’h / Perros-Guirec (2 nights) → return via Rennes.
