Brittany Coasts & Islands

One of France's most rugged regions, Brittany is a fascinating mix of spectacular coastline, ancient towns, magical islands and inland woods. A Celtic duchy for more than one thousand years before its annexation to France in 1532, it is a land rich in culture, tradition and history. This trip goes out to the Atlantic coast where the Bretons are intensely connected. Starting in Lorient, a larger town that was mostly rebuilt after WWII, the tour goes down the Quiberon penisula with a stop at famous Carnac, then over to the oasis of Belle Ile. Then return back to Lorient via inland routes including Auray on an inlet to the Gulf of Morbihan.In Brittany, there is a saying that it is sunny many times per day! Yes, it can rain, but often not sustained. Bring a rain jacket, but don't miss unique and beautiful Brittany!
