Blend Cornish splendour with the distinctive Breton culture to discover a magical destination with unforgettable character. It's unique. Close to home – but a world away.

Perfect for family holidays & short breaks, Brittany with your car satisfies almost every requirement. It's relaxing, easy to plan and offers real value for money. Taking your own car gives you the freedom to go wherever you like and at your own pace. You'll also have the flexibility of packing everything you need to make your time away really special.

Just a short distance across the Channel, Brittany is one of the most popular holiday regions in France and offers something for everyone. Along the beautiful and varied coastline of over 700 miles, you'll discover endless sandy stretches, secluded coves, and rugged rock formations, with water sports and secluded sunbathing spots amidst dramatic scenery.

Inland there's breathtaking countryside, historic towns and quaint villages waiting to be discovered. From seaside resorts like Dinard and Benodet to ports such as L'Orient, and architectural gems including the regional capital Rennes, there are plenty of places to explore.

Don't miss the chance to check out the arrival ports either. Both St Malo, with its maze of cobbled streets set within ancient ramparts, and picturesque Roscoff offer much to fascinate and entertain the visitor.
