BrittanyA region full of character that values its idiosyncrasies, Brittany is a world of its own at the edge of the country.

The seaward-looking Brittany peninsula with it ragged coastline is a prime marine environment battered by winds and tempests. From fishing harbours to seaside resorts, from sheltered rocky inlets to fine, sandy beaches, the coastline deploys its vast landscapes and counts off its islands: Bréhat, Batz, Ouessant, Belle-Ile… all of which are first-class refuges for birds. Inland, Brittany is a land of myths and legends, romantic châteaux and characterful towns, calm navigable rivers and canals. This tradition-packed region has its own language, customs and, above all, festivities: you'll never get a better idea of the Breton soul than during a Pardon (a solemn mass and procession in folk costume), a Celtic festival or a village fête. Welcome to this invigorating region, a paradise of seafood, cider and crêpes!
