Brittany
Popular Cities in Brittany

Dinan is one of France`s most attractive Breton walled towns. Once a stronghold of the ducs de Bretagne nowadays, Dinan welcomes each year thousand of visitors. The 18th-century granite houses provide a sharp contrast to the medieval timbered houses in this walled town with a once-fortified château. Major historical attractions include the Jacobins Theatre dating from 1224, the flamboyant Gothic St Malo`s Church, the Romanesque St Saviour`s Basilica, Duchess Anne`s Tower and the Château de Dinan.

Built on a granite rock in the Channel, Saint Malo was a fortified island at the mouth of the Rance River, during the Middle Ages controlling the estuary and the sea beyond. The peninsula curves around a natural harbor that comprises several smaller basins. Tall granite walls surround the old town, which was once a stronghold for privateers.

Dinard, set on the dramatic coastline of Brittany in northern France, has long been a fashionable destination for French urbanites and tourists alike. Characterized by its long and wide, tree-lined boulevards that join on well-designed squares full of chic restaurants and shops. The city projects out seaward and is, therefore, surrounded on three sides by beaches and the sea which also makes it a perfect spot for sailing, water sports and beach enthusiasts.

Situated at the confluence of the Odet and Steir, Quimper, is a beautiful city dating from at least the 1st century BC. Its spectacular Gothic cathedral was started in the 13th century. The town`s best known for the Quimper faïence pottery. It also has also been known for copper and bronze work, food items, galvanized ironware, hosiery, leather, paper and woolen goods.
Explore Brittany
North Brittany Coast
Along the north coast, west of Normandy's Mont St-Michel, stand some of Brittany's finest old towns. The River Rance, guarded by beautifully preserved St Malo on its estuary, and medieval Dinan 12 miles upstream. Further west is the seductive Île de Bréhat, and the Côte de Granit Rose.
South Brittany Coast
The South Brittany Coast benefits from the warm temperatures brought up with the gulf stream. There are two distinct main areas, the Morbihan to the east and Finistere to the west.
Regions of France

The Loire River in Central France is considered to be the 'Gardens of France.' There are literally countless chateau (castles) scattered between a beautiful river and charming little towns.

The southeast coast of Provence is sprinkled with some of the world`s most popular beaches and destinations, including Nice, Monaco, Cannes, Saint Tropez and Menton. Known all over the world for its glamour and beauty, the Riviera is a playground for the rich and famous and a true paradise destination.

With many of the most beautiful places to visit in France, Provence, a region in southeastern France, is made for explorers. From the Southern Alps and Camargue plains to rolling vineyards, olive groves, pine forests and lavender fields, the stunning variety of landscape offered here make it an irresistible destination to discover.

Alsace-Lorraine, a historic province in Eastern France, is where you will find the ancient capitals at Strasbourg and Nancy. The only thing that separates Germany from this region is the Rhine, and the area is extremely reminiscent of the German look (and sometimes feel).

The winemaking region of Champagne is known for its sparkling white wine. This is one of the most famous and posh areas of France with many well-known Champagne companies like Moet and Chandon, that have cellars and vineyards. This region is intended to enjoy at a leisurely pace if you truly want to appreciate what it has to offer.

Burgundy has it all - glorious countryside and vineyards, amazing gastronomy, a fabulous history, picturesque villages, awesome towns, the Burgundy Canal and an incredible capital city, Dijon. There are also more chateaux in this region than any other in France.

Normandy, a region of Northern France just west of Paris, is famous for its role in World War II as well as a number of other significant events throughout its history. However, its rugged coastline on the English Channel is also home to a number of beautiful small towns and villages perfect for an escape from the congestion of Paris, including Caen, Le Havre, and Rouen.

WHY BRITTANY?

Brittany isn't a place on most traveler's lists. This bit of France's northwest juts out into the Atlantic Ocean, and is just too far off the beaten path for many tourists. However, this makes it all the more reason to visit. With over 1,500 miles of jaw-dropping panoramic coastline and charming medieval towns and villages, Brittany is a region that should not be missed. It has a Celtic identity that's not found in any other part of France. You'll hear bagpipes, see traditional dancing, and even hear some of the Breton language. And if you are someone who is into history or likes myths and legends, Brittany has a lot of that too!
