THE BEACH OF GUESCLIN COVE
A pretty beach with a fortress transformed into a fort to defend the coast against enemy landings
Nestling between the Pointes du Nid and Grands Nez, this pretty beach borders the bottom of Anse du Guesclin, the historic cradle of Saint-Coulomb. Around the year 800, Bertrand du Guesclin's ancestors built a fortress here, which even welcomed the English king "Jean sans terre", or "Prince Jean" in "Robin Hood". This was converted into a fort in the 18th century to defend the coast against enemy landings and privateers.
