Tu rêves d’une côte découpée aux eaux turquoise, facilement accessible en train, où enchaîner randos iodées et échappées vélo ? Alors tu vas adorer les Côtes-d’Armor ! Grâce à ses 5 gares TGV (Lamballe, Saint-Brieuc, Guingamp, Plouaret, Lannion) et 32 gares TER, ce coin de Bretagne se découvre sans voiture, au rythme du vent salé et des marées.
The Côtes d'Armor département has 5 TGV stations: Lamballe, Saint-Brieuc, Guingamp, Plouaret-Trégor and Lannion. They are served by direct trains from Paris-Montparnasse, Rennes and Brest with journey times of around 2h15 from Paris for Saint-Brieuc, slightly more for Lannion and Guingamp.
From Nantes, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Strasbourg or Brussels If you're on a long-distance train, you'll usually connect at Rennes, then take a TGV or TER to Côtes-d'Armor.
Saint-Brieuc acts as a kind of hub: the station is served by TGV Inoui and sometimes Ouigo trains, as well as TER BreizhGo trains from Rennes, Brest, Morlaix and Lannion.
Once there, in addition to the TGV stations, Dinan and Paimpol also have an SNCF train station, for direct access to the Rance or the north coast without a car.
Do you dream of turquoise waters, iodine-filled hikes, visits to medieval towns and cycling escapes, all in a place that's easily accessible by train? Then you'll love the Côtes-d'Armor! Thanks to its 5 TGV stations (Lamballe, Saint-Brieuc, Guingamp, Plouaret, Lannion) and 32 TER stations This corner of Brittany can be discovered without a car, to the rhythm of the salty wind and the tides.
Nature and roaming : pack your hiking boots. The legendary GR 34The "sentier des douaniers", or customs trail, links the railway stations of Saint-Brieuc, Paimpol and Lannion, skims the Côte de Granit Rose and winds its way to the coastal loop of Lannion. If you're looking for a more spiritual variant, the Mon Tro Breizh circuit invites you to walk from Plouaret to Paimpol, then from Paimpol to Saint-Brieuc, before continuing on to Lamballe and Dinan, always from station to station. Just as around Chantilly and Senlis, where you'll find forests and long-distance footpaths, here too you can explore by bike. Vélomaritime (EV4) connects Saint-Brieuc to Dinan or Lannion, while two major western and eastern loops leave from Saint-Brieuc to cover a fascinating coastline.
Heritage and favorites : of the department's 7 must-see sites, 4 are directly accessible by train (the medieval city of Dinan, the Bay of Saint-Brieuc, the enchanting island of Bréhat and the flamboyant Pink Granite Coast). Just as in Chantilly-Senlis, where you can experience castle life, go back in time in the medieval lanes or enjoy the gardens, the Côtes-d'Armor also has postcard atmospheres in store for you: from the Saint-Brieuc or Lamballe TGV stations, a bus will take you to the Cap d'Erquy - Cap Fréhel Grand Site de France for an XXL panorama. Five Petites Cités de Caractère® (Small Towns of Character) can be visited by TER: Pontrieux, the "Little Venice", Guingamp and its Gothic heritage, Châtelaudren, coiled around its pond, medieval Jugon-les-Lacs and Léhon, a pearl nestling on the banks of the Rance.
As for the taste buds: after effort, comfort! Taste a buckwheat galette overlooking the harbor in Paimpol or a warm kouign-amann in Dinan, why not after a day's walking or cycling as you would after a forest walk in Chantilly or a museum visit in Senlis. All washed down with a local cidre brut or a glass of chouchenn, to prolong the Breton experience.
In short, whether you're traveling solo, as a duo or with your family, the Côtes-d'Armor offers you a "train + nature" interlude where rosy cliffs, picturesque villages, forests and signposted footpaths come together all year round, in the same slow, car-free spirit as a nature & heritage getaway around Chantilly-Senlis.
