Brittany

Welcome to beautiful Brittany, a fascinating area of France with Celtic roots in ways more similar to parts of the UK than France!  The coastline is rugged and interspersed with lovely sandy coves, whilst inland regions reflect its agricultural character.

Brittany has four main regions: Côtes D’Armor to the north with steep cliffs and attractive medieval towns; Finistère on the west coast; Morbihan in the south has a huge number of megaliths and Ille et Vilaine covers the east where the beautiful emerald coastline stretches from Le Mont St.-Michel to St Briac. 

One of France’s best-known attractions is Mont St.-Michel abbey situated on a rocky island just off the coast of Normandy and Brittany. It was founded in 708 by the Bishop of Avranches, who built a chapel here. Construction of the current abbey began in 1023 but was not finished for 400 years. Built with granite, it encompasses a range of architectural styles, from Norman to Gothic. The abbey was a place for pilgrimages for centuries and also served as a monastery, a prison and a fortress against the English. There is still a Benedictine monastery within the abbey, which can be visited on a guided tour. Among the maze of cobbled streets within the walls of the abbey are a number of other attractions including a maritime museum and a multimedia museum that tells the story of the island.

Reflecting its Celtic roots Brittany hosts many music festivals, often accompanied by attractive displays of regional costume. They are great for entertainment value! Try one of the following: Redon "Les Nocturiales" - held at the end of July and the beginning of August around the church of St Sauveur.

Brittany's weather is heavily influenced by the Atlantic so that even in the height of summer the weather doesn’t  get too hot,  whilst in the winter it is usually much milder than the rest of France.  You can see the typical climate throughout the year in the graph on the left hand side.  For today's weather looks at the panel on the right, or click to go to an external website for a 5 day forecast.

Western Loire is renowned for its fabulous châteaux, and they are undoubtedly one of the region's most popular attractions. The majority of these are open to the public, offering a variety of tours, and frequently additional features such as spectacular sound and light shows or historical re-enactments.

But there are also a host of other things to see and do here. No matter what your age or interests, you'll find plenty to keep you happily occupied. The region as a whole is extremely well organised when it comes to providing for UK visitors, and listed here is just a small selection of the attractions you can enjoy.

From the heart of Nantes, cruise along the Erdre river for an excellent view of the many elegant 14th to 18thC chateaux and manor houses. Sightseeing cruises with full commentary  last 1 hour 45 minutes and are popular with all ages. It's also possible to take a lunch or dinner cruise at set prices - these must be reserved in advance.

Much of Brittany’s history dates back to its Celtic roots. The landscape is littered with ancient and mysterious standing stones and the local language (sadly in danger of dying out) is based on Celtic, more closely resembling Welsh than French. The Celts came from Britain in around the 6th century with their culture, traditions and folklore that still reign supreme in the region today, particularly in the rather arid interior, lending Brittany a touch of mystery and enchantment. Keep your eyes open and you may even imagine you spy a Cornish pixie in the underbrush! The Bretons maintained an independent state until the 16th century in this northwest corner of France, which protrudes into the Atlantic with an irregular coastline featuring inlets, cliffs, offshore islands and stretches of white, sandy beach.

It is the coastline that has made Brittany the most popular summer holiday destination in France, next to the Côte d’Azur, for both French and foreign visitors. The coast is liberally sprinkled with resorts and camp-sites, always full during the summer season.
