Short Break Destinations in Brittany


With an amazing 750 miles of twisting, turning coastline, it's no wonder that so much of Brittany's rich heritage is linked to the sea. In parts, towering cliffs and rugged rock formations create the most dramatic scenery imaginable, whilst elsewhere there are glorious sandy beaches and classic resorts that are perfect for just about every conceivable water sport.
And in between these two extremes you'll discover literally hundreds of charming little sheltered bays and inlets, many of which form harbours for Brittany's traditional fishing villages where little has changed for centuries. Like almost everything about France's most westerly region, its coast has a character that is absolutely unique.
So Many Places to explore...
Inland, Brittany's fabulously beautiful countryside is equally diverse, with green rolling hills, peaceful river valleys, prehistoric sites, and enchanting forests.
Medieval towns and villages steeped in history and legend are everywhere, and numerous traditional festivals take place during the summer months, particularly in the west of the region where the Breton culture is strongest.
