Only 1h30 from Paris by TGV, it is now the gateway for any tourist wishing to discover a territory endowed with an intensely rich cultural and natural heritage. Welcome to Brittany, land of legends, land of Korrigans and turquoise waters.
Rennes: The capital of Brittany
In 2020, Rennes was once again one of the 10 cities where it is the best to live. Many improvements have been made in recent years. The city center has many green spaces, and pedestrians and bicycles are privileged. As for the shops, you will not know where to turn as the streets are teeming with excellent shops that offer various quality products of the Breton terroir. Markets such as Saint-Thérèse and Lices allow holidaymakers to spend excellent convivial moments. Old Rennes is one of the places to visit during your stay. The many cobbled streets, the mansions dating from the Renaissance periods are a delight for the eyes. The city is not the most representative of Brittany but it will delight lovers of architecture with prestigious monuments such as the Opera of Brittany, the Parliament, the Town Hall …
Brittany: The most beautiful natural sites
Over time, France remains one of the most popular countries in the world for tourism. The covid 19 crisis has changed the situation but the French lands offer beautiful natural corners.
Welcome to Brittany
The Côtes-d'Armor also offers great activities. You will be able to:
- Visit the island of Bréhat: it is also called the island of flowers.
- Enjoy scallops by the beach.
- Admire the setting sun on the Pink Granite Coast.
- As a family, you and your children can have fun at the Parc du Radôme.
Brittany is for all lovers of nature, peplum and discovery! You can stroll through the medieval streets of Vannes, venture between the islands of the Gulf, pedal on the canal from Nantes to Brest, taste traditional salted butter caramel, get lost in the menhirs of Carnac, discover the cemetery of the boats of Kerhervy .. Make way for Evasion! Go to the end of the world and go to Finistère which marks the end of the western European continent. Victim of bad publicity, it remains a privileged territory for all those who dare to go beyond. Turquoise waters, islands and exceptional peninsulas, a gastronomy that feeds on the many natural resources offered by this destination, it has nothing to envy to the Caribbean. The latest Breton tourist campaign is even inspired to make it a play on words "Caraibreizh", illustrated by beaches that one would think belong to this exotic area. And yet, we are in Brittany, from southern Finistère with the Crozon peninsula increasingly in vogue, to northern Finistère with the island of Bats or Ouessant, and its long virgin expanses that seem stolen from Ireland. We can certify that to you. If you are looking for a change of scenery, large territories, or escape, do not hesitate and take refuge in these ancestral lands whose culture has been preserved. Many typical stone accommodations are available to you on the edge of the GR 34, fishermen's houses, bordering the cliffs, which will offer you the opportunity to meet around a fireplace at the end of the day after a day of hiking and discoveries.
