The Emerald Coast (from Cancale to Cap Fréhel, via Saint-Malo and Dinard) benefits from a very real microclimate, often milder than the image we have of Northern Brittany.
Here's what characterizes this microclimate and why it exists:
1. Marked thermal softness
The influence of the Gulf Stream (warm Atlantic current) and the presence of the sea regulate temperatures.
Mild winters: Frosts are rare and snow is exceptional. So-called "exotic" plants such as palm trees, mimosas or camellias are very popular here (especially in Dinard, nicknamed the "Pearl of the Emerald Coast").
Temperate summers: Temperatures rarely exceed 25°C to 26°C, which avoids the stifling heat waves found inland.
2. Surprising sunshine
Contrary to popular belief, the Emerald Coast is one of the sunniest areas in Northern Brittany.
Figures: With around 1,800 to 1,900 hours of sunshine per year, Dinard sometimes exceeds the sunshine of some cities in central or eastern France (such as Paris).
Local phenomenon: The configuration of the bay of Saint-Malo and the marine air currents tend to "chase" the clouds inland (the Rennes basin), often leaving a clear sky on the coast.
3. The reasons for this privilege
The bay effect: The shape of the coast and the Rance estuary create an area protected from the coldest prevailing winds.
Marine inertia: The Channel acts like a giant radiator: it accumulates heat in summer to gently release it in winter.
Protection of the relief: The surrounding plateaus partially protect the coastline from disturbances coming from the west.
Some concrete examples:
Dinard: Its microclimate allows the survival of Mediterranean gardens with species of eucalyptus and Phoenix palms.
Cancale: Protected by the Pointe du Grouin, the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel benefits from water that warms up faster, ideal for
