Brittany (Footprint - Destination Guides)

Infinite variety is the key to Brittany’s timeless appeal: from 2000 km of unparalleled coastline to the rich landscapes of the interior, from period architectural gems to the unspoilt simplicity of pretty rural villages. And the unique bonus of Brittany is a vibrant celtic heritage, revealed in its language, music, dance colorful local festivals, religious traditions and mystical sites. Stroll through the enchanted forest of Brocéliande, study the avenues of standing stones at Carnac, people-watch in the lively streets of Quimper, admire the bizarre rock formations of the Pink Granite coast or take a boat to the tiny Ile de Sein at the end of the world. Haunting megaliths or medieval towns, seafood or surfing beaches, legends or wild landscapes, Brittany is waiting.
