The Brittany / Cotes-D'Armor region

Brittany is an area of outstanding natural beauty and charm with a magnificent rugged coastline, beautiful sandy beaches, and attractive rolling countryside, reminiscent of Cornwall, but without the crowds. There are numerous historic places of interest to visit including the medieval cities of Dinan and St Malo and a little further afield in Normandy, the spectacular Le Mont St Michel, well worth the journey if you haven’t been before.
For the energetic a wide variety of sports and activities are available including golf, horse riding, various water sports, fishing, hiking and cycling. During the summer months there are several established festivals worth attending including a medieval fair that alternates between Dinan and Moncontour, and a popular open air jazz festival in Langourla.
If your inclination is to eat out there are many great restaurants to try out with a good variety of culinary styles including the traditional Breton crepe washed down with cider. Alternatively the local markets and supermarkets are a great source of local produce if you fancy cooking that favourite meal or having a barbecue
