BRITTANY SOUTH AND WEST HOLIDAY TRAVEL GUIDE

Our Brittany Travel Guide is designed to help you find the information you need to get the most from your holiday in Brittany.

Brittany is a former independent Celtic kingdom and duchy, art one time known as "Little Britain" - now incorporated into France.

A seemingly endless and multi-faceted coastline, from the rugged cliffs of Finistere to the sandy stretches and dunes of the Quiberon Peninsula and Concarneau, make this part of Brittany a beach lover’s paradise.

The Wild West – Finistere ‘the end of the earth’ contrasts with the wooded river valleys and milder climate in Southern Brittany.

For heritage and culture visit historic Vannes and Quimper, or marvel at Carnac’s giant Neolithic stones.

Enjoy traditional Breton festivals – especially in the west. Brest offers a fascinating maritime history plus a superb aquarium, Oceanopolis.

The picturesque port of Roscoff is the perfect place to indulge in some of Brittany’s celebrated seafood. It is also renowned for thalassotherapy - seawater, seaweed and mud treatments.

There are 2 departments in the South and West of Brittany:

·          Finistère

·          Morbihan
