Discovery of the Pointe du Décollé
On the Emerald Coast, certain places have the power to take your breath away. Pointe du Décollé, in Saint-Lunaire, is one of them. This exceptional natural site offers a spectacular ocean panorama, in a setting that is both wild and elegant. Rocks sculpted by the sea, secret coves, and seaside villas coexist harmoniously.
From the Hôtel des Tilleuls***, located in Dinard, by the sea, you can easily reach Pointe du Décollé in less than 20 minutes by car.
Arriving on the path, the magic happens instantly. To starboard, you can see the corsair city of Saint-Malo; to port, the cliffs of Cap Fréhel.
And behind you, the Grande Plage of Saint-Lunaire, bordered by the majestic former Grand Hôtel. Each step reveals a new perspective, a new, vivid postcard.
Pointe du Décollé is also a place steeped in history: according to legend, it was here that the Welsh monk Saint-Lunaire landed in the 6th century, braving the fog with his sword.
A commemorative cross marks the exact spot. His recumbent statue can be seen in the village's pretty Romanesque church.
All along the route, the villas overlooking the sea catch the eye. Some date from the 19th century, others from the 1920s, charmingly blending styles.
At high tide, the tip of the point seems to detach itself from the mainland: a striking spectacle, to be admired without moderation. After a restful night in one of the 53 comfortable rooms at the Contact Hôtel des Tilleuls in Dinard, a lovely seaside stroll awaits you at the legendary Pointe du Décollé!
