Brittany is a broad peninsula in the west of France, bordered to the north by the English Channel and to the west by the Atlantic.

It is a land of rich legend, a land bound to the ocean in many ways. It enjoys various micro-climates and a patchwork of unique, picturesque landscapes.

The Côte d'Emeraude or Emerald Coast, the corsair city of Saint-Malo, the mysterious pink granite coast that runs to Perros-Guirec, and the region of Pont-Aven immortalised by Paul Gauguin… There is always something particular, something memorable about these locations.

Groix, Glénan, Ouessant and Belle-Ile-en-Mer are enchanting little islands, full of mystery.

Further inland, Brocéliande Forest still resonates with tales of Merlin, the fairy Viviane, and King Arthur himself. A heritage blending legend with fact lies in the very mortar of the 13-century-old Mont Saint-Michel Abbey, or in Carnac's mystical megalithic alignments.

Brittany is a region to be savoured, to be discovered and seen from every angle in every season.

Above all, Brittany is best expressed through its folklore and customs: the fest-noz (folk dances), galettes de blé noir (buckwheat pancakes), cider by the bowl, chouchen (a form of mead) and mouthwatering seafood platters...
