Positioned in a scenic river valley in the Côtes-d'Armor department, Lannion serves as the historical and cultural gateway to the wide-open Pink Granite Coast. The town easily enchants visitors with its exceptionally well-preserved old town, where winding cobblestone streets meet magnificent 15th and 16th-century half-timbered houses and grand slate-roofed mansions. The absolute defining landmark of Lannion is the Brélévenez church, reached only by climbing a monumental, ancient stone staircase consisting of 142 steps. The steep climb is highly rewarding, offering a wonderful panoramic view over the town's rooftops and the lush valley of the Léguer river below. Beautiful promenades run alongside the riverbanks, providing a handy setting for relaxed walks or cycling trips all the way to the sea estuary. Every Thursday, Lannion truly bursts into life as it hosts one of the largest and most animated open-air markets in the region, offering everything from fresh artichokes and pungent Breton cheeses to piping hot crêpes. Despite its heavy historical charm, Lannion is also a major national hub for modern telecommunications, giving the town a surprisingly dynamic and forward-thinking atmosphere.
The most pleasant time to visit is Jul–Sep.
