{{short description|Village in Bretagne, France}}
'''Ploumanac'h''' ({{IPA|fr|plumanak}} or [[Help:IPA/French|[plumana]]], and in [[Breton language|Breton]] [[Help:IPA/Breton|[pluˈmãːnax]]]) is a village port in a natural harbour, part of the [[Communes of France|commune]] of [[Perros-Guirec]], in the [[arrondissement]] of [[Lannion]], in the [[Côtes-d'Armor]] [[Departments of France|department]] of the [[Brittany (administrative region)|Brittany]] [[Regions of France|region]] of [[France]]. In 2015 it was voted "the village most preferred by the French".<ref>[http://www.letelegramme.fr/bretagne/village-prefere-des-francais-a-ploumanac-h-on-y-croit-21-06-2015-10674907.php Le Télégramme] 23 June 2015 {{in lang|fr}}</ref> It lies 3 kilometres north-west of the town Perros-Guirec.

An outstanding feature of the area is the [[Cote de granit rose|pink granite rock]] and sands of the [[Côte de Granit Rose]] coast. Buildings of interest are the tidal mill and the [[Ploumanac'h Lighthouse]]. The chapel of [[Saint Guirec]] faces the beach, opposite its little 12th-century oratory which is surrounded by the sea at high tide. The small chateau is not open to the public but it was the place where [[Henryk Sienkiewicz]] wrote ''[[Quo Vadis (novel)|Quo Vadis]]'' and gained himself a [[Nobel Prize in Literature]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/europe/france/brittany/articles/Ploumanach-France-Secret-Seaside/|title=Ploumanac'h, France: Secret Seaside|work=The Telegraph|access-date=2017-06-15|language=en-GB}}</ref>
