Explore the Dramatic Countryside of Bretagne on Your Next Holiday to France

Visit the craggy cliffs of Bretagne and be transported back to a time when ancient Druids wandered the meadows, erecting massive megaliths, medieval lords built grandiose châteaux on wooded hills, and robed priests laid the foundations of magnificent cathedrals overlooking the choppy waves of the Atlantic Ocean. Rent a holiday home in the walled town of Saint-Malo and meander the cobblestone streets that wind around solid granite castles with rounded turrets and the Saint-Malo Cathedral with its pointy spires and magnificent stained glass windows. Visit the Cote de Granit Rose, and watch the waves crash against the arresting pink stone cliffs, or take a trip to Carnac and see the mysterious megalithic stone arrangements, carved and positioned by pre-Celtic peoples more than 5000 years ago. The region of Bretagne has some of the most historic holiday homes in France, with medieval stone farmhouses and beautiful old chateaux resting on the shores of placid lakes. And seafood lovers will be delighted with the abundance of fresh oysters, mussels, prawns and crab that can be found at seafood restaurants throughout the region. Order a plate of fresh steamed mussels served with rich butter and hearty rye bread, sip on a glass of fresh, fruity Muscadet wine, and reflect on the sublime sights of scenic Bretagne.
