View full page →The most beautiful sites of Brittany
Between pink granite coasts, wind-battered capes, megaliths and characterful villages, Brittany is discovered at the rhythm of the tides. Each département has its own personality: cliffs and fortified castles in the north, inland sea and alignments in the south, legends in the heart of the land.
This selection mixes great natural sites, heritage and villages: from Cap Fréhel to the Pointe du Raz, from the ramparts of Saint-Malo to the Carnac alignments, not forgetting the Brocéliande forest and the rocky chaos of Huelgoat.
The weather changes quickly: always pack a waterproof layer, even in summer.
