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.

 

We have a wealth of information on this region including the best towns, tourist attractions, water parks, beaches, and markets.
