Côte d'Émeraude
The Côte d'Émeraude (German emerald coast ) is a stretch of coast in Brittany between Cap Fréhel and the city of Cancale . The name is derived from the green-turquoise color of the sea at certain times.
history
The coast around Saint-Malo was the landing place of some Irish monks as early as the 6th century. : From this time many place names that refer to these saints originate Saint-Malo , Saint-Brieuc , etc. The landscape on the north coast of France was first discovered by Eugène Herpin from Saint-Malo as Côte d'Emeraude named. Tourism became more and more important at this time and a tourist name like other coasts, e.g. B. the Côte d'Azur , was an advantage.
The Côte d'Emeraude is still an important tourist destination today with attractions such as Mont-Saint-Michel , Cancale, Dinard and others. In 2003 the idea for a regional park was born. The project was started in 2008 and is to be implemented in 2021.
