Pleumeur-Bodou is a small commune in the Côtes-d'Armor department on the north coast of Brittany. It sits in the middle of the Pink Granite coast, which is well known for its spectacular scenery. It lies between Brest and Saint-Brieuc, in the immediate vicinity of Lannion and Perros-Guirec. The Pink Granite Coast is unique because of its pink-tinted rocks with astonishing shapes: its coastal paths, beaches and preserved natural sites are among the most beautiful in France.

Radôme Park
In 1962, this facility received the first television signal, from the U.S., transmitted by satellite. Planetarium, space and telecommunications museum, fun for kids too. The –Tourist center. It was through the Radôme, a gigantic white ball placed in the countryside of Pleumeur-Bodou, that the first television images by satellite from the United States were transmitted in 1962. A "flagship" element of the Cité des Télécoms, the Radôme is today a place of shows, where through "sound and light" we relive this formidable adventure. On the same tourist center, at the foot of the Radôme, the Radôme Park brings together the Planétarium de Bretagne, the Village Gaulois and the ABRET.

Around twenty original, entertaining and educational games that will help you discover the life of our ancestors.
