Brittany

A peninsula in northwest France with a strong Celtic culture, unforgettable for its pink granite coast, old towns and crêpes.

Brittany lies on a peninsula in northwestern France, surrounded by sea on three sides; its capital is Rennes. It keeps a strong Celtic culture and Breton-language tradition, and its winding coastline is magnificent, with attractions such as the Pink Granite Coast and Pointe du Raz. The ramparts of Saint-Malo and old towns such as Dinan and Quimper have their own charm, the Carnac stones are a landmark of prehistoric heritage, and crêpes and cider are local specialties. The cool summer climate is best for coastal travel. From Paris, the TGV reaches Rennes in about an hour and a half, and Rennes and Brest both have airports.
