Plougrescant is a commune in the Côtes-d'Armor department of Brittany in northwestern France.

At Brittany's most northerly point on the mainland, the crazy-looking Plougrescant peninsula epitomizes the Côtes-d'Armor coast with its contrasting facets, variously enchanting, confusing, or even fearsome. As for Plougrescant's chapel, it looks like it's stepped out of the pages of a fairytale.

Utterly charming little ports, like oyster-farming La Roche Jaune, or Port-Blanc, the latter with white-painted rocks to help sailors steer safely into harbour, make the most of the protected corners along this coast. However, extraordinary rocks pile up all around, on land as well as out to sea. At the very northern tip of the peninsula, known either as Castel Meur or the Pointe du Château, one of the most picturesque houses in Brittany stands sensationally sandwiched between two vast boulders. The Maison du Littoral nearby explains the extraordinary rocky environment.
