A humpback whale delights the inhabitants of Perros-Guirec

A humpback whale passed Saturday afternoon off Perros-Guirec (Côtes-d'Armor).

The animal was close enough to the coast for passers-by present on the coast to enjoy the spectacle it offered, says

.

Passers-by notably gathered at the beaches of Ploumanac'h and Trestraou.

An impressive fin

Locals and vacationers had the chance to observe the animal for several minutes.

The cetacean partially lifted its body out of the water several times.

The witnesses, for example, had the opportunity to observe the caudal fin of the whale each time it plunged back into the sea. This type of event has been occurring more frequently in recent years, that is to say a times a year on average.
