The coastline and the variety of coasts are the tourist assets of Côtes-d’Armor. The Pink Granite Coast has imposing rocks: the chaotic clusters of Ploumanac’h. Just opposite, the Sept-Iles serve as a refuge for the largest ornithological reserve in France. There are many historical and architectural attractions: medieval towns (Dinan, Moncontour), old chapels, castles (Rosanbo, La Roche-Jagu, Tonquédec, etc.), a few abbeys and two cathedrals (Tréguier and Saint-Brieuc).
The important part of the activity of Côtes-d’Armor is farming and the agro-food industry, with pig farming: the Plérin clock market is the organization that gives the price of pork in France.
The Peach is also developed as well as two technological poles, space telecommunications and new technologies: Anticipa technopole and animal research and biological analysis: zoopole of Saint-Brieuc-Ploufragan.
