Climate
Its microclimate, particularly mild winter, offers a wide variety of flowers and plants. This is one of the few places in "North Britain" which can grow Mediterranean plants, as frosts are more common than on the coasts of the common Ploubazlanec and the "sunbelt."

Geology
It is also an island where there is pink granite, yet far east of the "Pink Granite Coast" which starts around Perros-Guirec. Between trees, flowers and pink granite, the contrasts of light are particularly eloquent.
