Sillon de Talbert

Conservatoire du Littoral site classified as a regional reserve. A coastal strip of sand and pebbles stretching 3.2 km out to sea, the Sillon is a geomorphological curiosity unique in Europe for its size. Ecologically rich thanks to its extraordinary flora and fauna, the Sillon is an important nesting site for seabird species (gravelots), and a migration and wintering ground for numerous waders, making it a major birdwatching spot in the Côtes d'Armor. Once linked to the islets of Olonne, the sillon is constantly on the move, evolving with the ebb and flow of sand and pebbles. Like a mineral tongue at its free end.

Due to the presence of a breach in the Sillon de Talbert, 500 m from its beginning, it is advisable to discover the site two hours after high tide and to return to the coast at low tide. Precise timetables for the passage of the breach can be consulted on the Town Hall website, at the tourist office and posted at the Maison du Sillon.

On-site parking is permitted in the Québo (P1) and Pors Rand (P2 cars only) parking lots, located 5 minutes' walk from the Sillon de Talbert (approx. 400 m).
