Well known in France for its football team, Guingamp has managed to retain an impressive architectural heritage from its rich history. For example, in the course of a stroll here you can admire the ancient city walls and ramparts, the ruins of the fortified castle which was erected here in the 15th century, as well as the wood-framed houses, half-timbered around La Plomée, and of course the Notre-Dame Basilica, built between the 12th and 16th centuries, a complex building showing a mix of styles: Gothic on the left side and Renaissance on the right side. A large-scale Pardon (traditional religious event) takes place here on an evening in July.
The nearest coastline is at the charming village of Saint-Quay-Portrieux, with its new deep water harbour. The largest seaside resort along the Goëlo coastline, it boasts five beaches, a magnificent coastal footpath circuit, corniche roads and a semaphore building. It sits in the heart of the Bay of Saint-Brieuc, between the island of Bréhat and Cape Fréhel. The Bay of Saint-Brieuc ranks fifth in the world for the range of its tides, the sea being known to retreat up to 7km, and is also a listed nature reserve, and the prime area for scallop fishing.
