The region is easy to get to by car, train, bus, plane or boat: the toll-free dual carriageways, six airports and high-speed offer easy access to the area.

Convenient regional Airports in Brittany include Brest, Dinard, and Nantes.

Brittany offers an excellent rail network. From Paris Montparnasse, allow 1 hour 30 minutes to get to Rennes and 3 hours for Brest or Quimper by TGV (high-speed train). A similar direct rail service exists from Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (2 hours 38 min).

If you’re coming from the UK or Ireland, the ferry is a viable option. There are two main points of entry: St-Malo and Roscoff. One popular route runs from Portsmouth, England to Saint-Malo. Beware of trying to take a ferry in the winter; however, as rough water and bad weather can make this an extremely unpleasant way to travel.

Brittany is easily accessible by car as well. There are two motorway routes that head toward Brittany and as soon as you reach the region, road transport is made up of a network of dual carriageways which is free to travel on. The A11 or Océane Route connects Brittany with Paris.

Driving around Brittany has its advantages: not only are the roads toll-free but you’ll also be able to access some of the smaller destinations that remain unreachable by train.

The local train network, or TER, runs throughout Brittany with hundreds of services each day. Several tourist trains, including a busy route between Auray and Presqu’ile de Quiberon, supplement the service. Each of Brittany’s four departments - Finistère, Côtes d’Armor, Morbihan and Ille-et-Vilaine - have their own regional bus and coach services.

Brittany is home to eight major cycle routes including a portion of the epic La Velodyssée, which ultimately links Roscoff in the north of France to Hendaye in the south. SNCF, the national rail network, have many options for combining bike and train travel.
