Trégon is a coastal village on the Côte d’Émeraude; its territory borders the English Channel to the north. To get your bearings, it is worth looking at the different facets of the village: the Dolmen dit de la Ville Tanguy and the church are tangible witnesses to its history, while the Baie de Beaussais opens up views of the coastal landscape. Murals and the Chemin des dolmens offer further perspectives on a stay here.

Dolmen, Church and Art in the Village

The Dolmen dit de la Ville Tanguy is located at Les Domaines in Trégon. It was classified as a Monument historique by decree on 11 December 1963. Here, a precise location and a precisely dated heritage designation come together.

Another protected Neolithic relic is the covered gallery of La Hautière. A detour along the Chemin des dolmens offers a viewpoint overlooking it; the structure itself is privately owned and not open to the public. The view from the path and a visit to the gallery are therefore not the same thing. Check the conditions on site before planning your detour.

At Trégon’s old church, a Romanesque portal dating from the 11th century has been preserved at the entrance to the sacristy. The church was formerly a priory church of Saint-Jacut Abbey. Here, a specific architectural detail meets the building’s former ecclesiastical function. This is a different historical layer from the Neolithic sites: a Romanesque structure rather than a prehistoric monument.

As you walk through the various neighbourhoods of Ploubalay and Trégon, you can discover dozens of figurative murals by Kasam depicting notable figures. They draw attention to a visual perspective on the village, alongside the dolmens and church architecture. Individual murals may change over time.

Coastal Views and Route Planning

From the bay of Beaussais in Trégon, you can enjoy a panorama of Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer to the west and Lancieux to the east. The named places make the viewing directions easy to picture; how clear the panorama is depends on the weather and the tides.

A 2016 leaflet describes the Chemin des dolmens as an 8.5 km route and gives a duration of 2 hours and 15 minutes. It names the car park at Trégon town hall as the starting point. The distance and stated duration provide a concrete basis for planning your time. Check the path conditions and signs on site before setting out.

Sand yachting is also an option at the Baie de Beaussais; the bay is considered an ideal place for it. Check the current activities on offer and possible providers on site before planning this activity.
