With a distinctive culture, language and landscape, Brittany sets itself apart from the rest of France in more ways than one. While undeniably French, Brittany’s Celtic roots are evident in the form of bilingual street signs, mythological landmarks, prehistoric standing stones and lively festivals featuring traditional Breton music, dance and dress.
Jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean, the peninsula is skirted by a jagged coast of cliffs, capes and spectacular beaches, dotted with fishing villages, medieval towns and historic port cities. With its complex coastline and bounty of cultural riches, Brittany is best discovered on foot or by bike.
Explore the dramatic walled citadel of St Malo, whose stone ramparts are battered by the fearsome waves of the Atlantic, and cycle along the Emerald Coast from Brittany to Normandy, passing oyster and mussel farms, medieval villages and the magnificent island monastery of Mont St Michel.
Discover the storybook charm of Dinan, an ancient riverfront city of narrow cobbled streets, half-timbered houses and tiny crêperies, and follow canal towpaths out to the Arthurian woodlands and fairytale castles of Argoat.
