Jagged cliffs, standing stones and lighthouses; this is Britanny, the peninsula of ‘La Douce France’. With beautiful beaches to the south and the beautiful forests, meadows and hills of the hinterland, Brittany is a fantastic region!
Wild and lush, Brittany’s authenticity and tradition blends beautifully. Situated in the north-west of sweet France, Brittany enjoys Celtic influence. If you want to enjoy an unforgettable sunset go to ‘Pointe du Raz’ in Douarnenez, which overlooks one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in all of France; here you can admire the magnificent cliffs inhabited by seagulls.
The rugged coastline with beaches in hidden coves, green hills with the ‘menhirs’ and ‘dolmens’, and traditional fishing villages are the main attractions of Brittany. Worth a visit is Saint-Malo; the heart of this town is ‘Intra-Muros’, a fortified town full of narrow streets and truly enchanting. Brest is a port town with a beautiful castle.

TO TASTE
The "Kig ha farz" is a traditional Breton stew. The recipe is simple; it is composed of sliced vegetables, pieces of pork and pasta. The special thing about this dish is that the dough is placed in a ‘burlap sack’ immersed in water so that it retains a certain consistency.
