Can anyone tell me where I can find a nice sand beach in Brettany not crowded with people,& with train access?


i'm looking for a nice sand beach in Brettany (Bretagne) in France for short holidays but haven't found one with train access.
if anybody knows a nice beach and cheap accomodation please let me know!!! Thanks!

The city of Lannion (in north of Brittany) is accessible by fast train TGV (no train change when you come from Paris).

From there (about 15 km), the cities of Perros Guirrec, Ploumanac'h and Tregastel (coast named in french "C么te de granit rose") are very nice.

You will find sand beach in the city of Tregastel.

It will be cheaper than St Malo, which is a great place too (it's also not accessible directly by TGV).

You can go to the city Vannes (in the south of Brittany), accessible by TGV too.
There are a lot of places near it, but it is more crowed and more expensive.

And just for your information, the water is much hotter in the south !!

What about St Malo ? http://maps.google.fr/maps?f=q&hl=fr&q=s...

The city is beautiful. http://www.flickr.com/photos/loranger/17...

So is the beach. http://www.flickr.com/photos/tristanf/17...

The history is rich. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Malo

It is only 3 hours from Paris by train: http://www.voyages-sncf.com/dynamic/_SvH...

And the neighborhood is rich too:

- Dinan (a medieval city) http://www.flickr.com/photos/cherrysoda/...
- Cancale (a paradise for oysters and seafood lovers) http://www.flickr.com/photos/alan_hughes...
- Mont St-Michel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mont_St_Mic... and http://www.monum.fr/m_stmichel/indexa.dm...

    Go to Oceanopolis in Brest. It's a big aquarium. Good, but expensive. Or try La Recre - it's an amusement park, also in Brest. It's outdoors though. Hope the rain stops soon!
