We have great news! All our iconic pink granite Rose de la Clarté quarries, located near Perros-Guirec (Brittany) along the stunning Côtes d'Armor coastline, have received regional accreditation from certification body Certipaq. This prestigious recognition means that the striking granite extracted from our Brittany-based quarries now proudly bears IG (Indication Géographique) Granit de Bretagne certification.
A showpiece of the region, Rose de la Clarté has become a hallmark of craftsmanship and authenticity. This certification not only commends the stone for its exceptional quality, but also the heritage and craftsmanship behind its extraction. All in all, it’s a truly unique product that we’re proud and delighted to present to the market.

Technical strength
Did you know that Rose de la Clarté’s technical properties make it highly suitable for paving projects? This French granite, with its moderately coarse-grained texture and unique, warm deep pink colour, is not only fully recyclable but also extremely hard and durable.
Rose de la Clarté has a frost resistance of more than 240 cycles – almost double the French requirements – ensuring outstanding long-term durability. With a compressive strength of over 190 MPa, it performs nearly twice as strong as the standards for class 6 paving stones (EN 1342), offering unmatched solidity and reliability in both public spaces and heavy-use environments.

Authentic and distinctive
The granite blocks are extracted from our Breton quarries close to the Côtes d'Armor using sustainable and responsible techniques. The quarried blocks are subsequently processed into a great range of high-quality products at our optimised, state-of-the-art production site run by Brachot Family Member Granitarn (FR).

The variety of available finishes invariably lends Rose de la Clarté a unique appearance and provides a wealth of options. This means that there’s a suitable finish for every project. For paving projects, we primarily supply flamed, sandblasted or bush-hammered finishes. These not only give the stone a rugged and robust appearance but also provide the necessary non-slip properties.
In addition, we offer a wide range of formats and thicknesses – from paving stones, slabs and straight or curved curbstones to massive custom-made pieces such as benches and staircases. Surfaces can be finished in flamed, sandblasted, bush-hammered or honed, while sides can be sawn or split. We also produce tactile paving slabs to ensure accessibility and safety. With this extensive range, every project can be tailored to meet its specific requirements.
Durability
Rose de la Clarté granite is extracted from Brachot-owned quarries in France and processed in the country itself. This local production ensures a European granite through and through, resulting in lower CO2 emissions in comparison with products that are imported from elsewhere, such as Asia. This enhances the granite’s sustainability, making it a more environmentally friendly choice. The fact that this process is conducted locally underlines the benefits of supporting local production and reducing transport-related emissions. In addition, Rose de la Clarté is covered by Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), providing transparent and verified data on its environmental performance.
European products such as Rose de la Clarté not only satisfy stringent quality standards, but also contribute to environmental preservation by reducing the carbon footprint. Factor in the rising container prices, and the choice is quickly made.
