Maison du Littoral
About This Museum
Perched right on the pink granite coast in Perros-Guirec, the Maison du Littoral is your gateway to understanding this stunning, windswept landscape. It's not a stuffy hall of artifacts but a living, breathing starting point for exploration. You'll find yourself captivated by interactive displays that unravel the secrets of the tides and the local birdlife, especially the famous colony of puffins on the nearby Sept-Îles reserve. It’s the kind of place that makes you see the entire coastline with new, more informed eyes.
Collection Highlights
The star attraction is undoubtedly the immersive exhibit on the Réserve Naturelle des Sept-Îles, a crucial sanctuary for seabirds. You can also get up close with detailed models of the local marine ecosystems and discover the unique geology that gives the 'Côte de Granit Rose' its name and unforgettable color.
Visitor Information
It's conveniently located on the Chemin du Phare, so you can easily combine a visit with a walk out to the Ploumanac'h lighthouse. Check their website for seasonal opening times before you go, as they can change.
Architecture & Building
The building itself has a charming, almost rustic feel that blends seamlessly into its coastal surroundings, using local stone and materials that make it look like it grew right out of the headland.
