Brittany is a region of traditions with its own language, customs, cathedrals, parish closes, Pardons and festivals.
Inland Brittany is a spell-binding land of myths and legends, of small, distinctive towns and of rivers and canals. It has a jagged coastline with capes, headlands and rocks sheltering a multitude of fine sandy beaches, seaside resorts and lively commercial and fishing harbours. |
| At the tip of Brittany, between the headland of Le Conquet and the famous Pointe du Raz, the military port of Brest stands guard over one of the busiest shipping routes in Europe. Further south lies the Gulf of Morbihan, an amazing inland sea dotted with islands. It is a real haven for seabirds and a sailing paradise. |
| By taking part in a Pardon, Celtic festival or simple village fête, you will come closer to discovering the true spirit of Brittany. Local specialities include cider, seafood, crêpes and galettes (thin pancakes and waffles), far (flan with prunes), Breton gateaux, and andouille. |
