The '''Côte d'Émeraude''' (; ) is a name given to a part of the [[English Channel]] coast of eastern [[Britanny]] near the border of [[Normandy]] in [[France]].
==History and etymology==
Lawyer and historian Eugène Herpin coined the name Côte d'Émeraude in 1890. He was inspired by the "symphonie" of the colours of the sea and shore. The name was inspired by the branding success of the Côte d'Azur in encouraging tourism and development.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref><ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>
==Geography==
The coast stretches across 120 km<ref></ref> between [[Pointe du Grouin]] in [[Cancale]] and [[Cap Fréhel]] in [[Plévenon]], is located in the [[Côtes-d'Armor]] and [[Ille-et-Vilaine]] departments, and includes the [[Rance (river)|Rance]] estuary, [[Dinard]], and [[Saint-Malo]]. The Bay of Saint-Brieuc lies to its west and [[Mont-Saint-Michel Bay]] lies to its east. The official Communauté de communes Côte d'Émeraude does not cover the entire area.
Plans to turn the Côte d'Émeraude into a protected park were conceived in 2003.<ref>https://ift.tt/3s4co2Q>
