Your Essential Travel Guide to Brittany | What You Need to Know

Brittany, or “la Bretagne!” as the locals proudly announce, is not solely about the food. I know, I can’t resist the sweet smell of bakeries every time I revisit to this splendid region of France. However, let’s not talk about my weakness for buttery almond croissants (with melting chocolate inside) and crêpes. Instead, let’s return to this travel guide to Brittany .

Even after the union of the Duchy of Brittany with the Kingdom of France in the 16th century, Brittany has never stopped nurturing and promoting its distinct cultural identity. For visitors, this translates to peculiar place names with a lot of K’s, unique architecture, and historical wonders in every town and village, music festivals where traditional and modern music collide. And, of course, culinary exploits that send you home with a little extra weight around the waist.

Sprinkle on top of it some breathtaking views of an incredible diverse coastline, enjoyed by hikers, surfers, beach-goers, and fellow lighthouse enthusiasts like myself, and you will want to return to Brittany time and time again.

What Is Brittany?

How to get to brittany, how to get around brittany, visit a castle, indulge a crêpe “made in brittany”, climb a lighthouse, escape to an island, other things to do and see in brittany, what is the best time to visit brittany , travel guide to brittany | the best resources to plan your trip, quick travel tips to visit brittany:.

Brittany is an Atlantic-facing region located in the westernmost part of France , boasting over 2,000 kilometres of coastline. Once an independent duchy, it became part of the Kingdom of France in 1532. It is divided into 4 “départements” (Finistère, Côtes-d’Armor, Morbihan, and Ille-et-Vilaine). Historically, the Duchy of Brittany extended as far as the “département” of Loire-Atlantique, and there are ongoing calls and petitions for it to rejoin the other four, thus reviving historic Brittany.

Nantes and Rennes are Brittany’s main airports , followed by Brest, Quimper and Lorient, connecting Brittany to various destinations within France and select (though not all) European cities. If you’re travelling from outside Europe, you may have to fly into Paris first and then catch a connecting flight to Brittany.

Brittany is also well-connected to Paris by train . With hourly departures from the French capital, you can be in Rennes in just 90 minutes. However, the journey all the way to Brest, passing through Morlaix, will require a lengthier 4 hours. Same thing if you’re going to Quimper while you’ll be in Nantes in approximately 2 hours.

Low-cost bus companies like Blablacar Bus will also take you from Paris to Brittany’s main cities, but be prepared to spend long hours on the road (5 to 6 hours to Nantes or Rennes). If you’re opting to drive, well-maintained motorways will lead you all the way to Brest. Just remember to take regular breaks; it is a long road!

Another option I tested myself is the ferry . I embarked from Cork in the south of Ireland for a night long crossing to Roscoff. From the south of England, ferries connect Plymouth to Roscoff and Portsmouth to St Malo. Sea travel can be more expensive, but you might be saving on other costs like renting a car if you’re bringing your own vehicle. You also save a full day by travelling at night, all while enjoying the spectacle of both sunset and sunrise at sea!

Travelling between Brittany’s main cities and towns can be achieved by public transport . Trains and public buses operate at reasonably frequent intervals and are affordable. Brittany’s local government has even set up a website available in English to help you plan your trip with public transport: check out MobiBreizh.bzh , it is incredibly convenient.

However, a car is essential if you wish to explore smaller towns, villages and beaches. If you’re considering a road trip, or you want to move more freely around Brittany, you can easily pick up a rental at one of the region’s airports. Check out Rentalcars for the best price, but renting a car in France is notably more reasonable than in other European countries (*cough* Ireland).

Roads are well-maintained and are a breeze to drive on, with motorways and expressways connecting the bigger cities. However, exercise caution as some roads can become rather narrow, especially when driving near the coast. Also, don’t forget to reduce your speed through the many villages you’ll encounter on your way. And drive on the right-hand side!

Top Things to Do in Brittany

Whenever I return to Brittany, these are my all-time favourite things to do.

Whether built on a rock in the midst of the ocean or serving as the elegant residence of the duchy’s past rulers, castles in Brittany come in various shapes and sometimes unexpected locations. Brittany is dotted with extraordinary castles (more than 200) from cities to coast, each unveiling its complicated history with the Kingdom of France and its constant fear of the British invaders. Quick to grasp the imagination of visitors, Brittany’s castles are always on top of my list whenever I explore this historic part of France.

Are you looking for something fun to do in the Summer? You should definitely give surfing a try! Brittany has some great spots for surfing , the best ones sprinkled along the picturesque southern coast. If you’re a beginner, I would recommend La Torche, a magnificent expanse of sand with a surf school just a few meters from the beach. It’s never too late to get on the board!

It has become second nature to me. I won’t leave Brittany before stopping by a local crêperie and savouring a Breton crêpe garnished with warm salted caramel drizzled over melting vanilla ice cream. Brittany boasts some of the finest crêperies I know of, and I would truly regret passing up a chance to visit one. That’s what you might call a true addiction. During my recent visit to Rennes, I indulged in numerous crêpes, so if you’re in need of recommendations, I’ve got you covered.

I love the thrill of visiting a lighthouse ! Protected from the outside world by the thick walls as you ascend the stairs to the top, oblivious to the waves crashing against the rocks, you suddenly emerge into the light with the most splendid view unfurling at your feet. Climbing a lighthouse is one of my favourite activities in Brittany. While not all of them are accessible to the public, a fair number are, and it is an experience like no other. Just hold on tight to your camera – it can be exhilaratingly windy.

Brittany has over a thousand islands and islets along its coast. So deciding which one is most picturesque could easily ignite an endless debate. Each holds its own distinct charm and makes for fantastic day trips away from the hustle and bustle of more tourist-laden coastal towns. Unsure which one to pick? I loved the car-free Ile-de-Batz and its clear waters reminiscent of the Caribbean.

Need more inspiration? This travel guide to Brittany is packed with more things to do in this picturesque part of France!

• Discover Brittany’s well-preserved medieval architecture : Morlaix, Rennes, Quimper, these are just some examples of cities where centuries-old half-timbered houses have been magnificently preserved and are truly worth uncovering as you stroll down their cobbled streets.

• Head to the beach : while the weather might not be as pleasant as in St-Tropez, Brittany is certainly not all about rain (my last sunburns are evidence of it). The Summer months see strong enough spells of sunshine to make you want to cool down in the ocean. Sandy shores can be found from north to south, all without the overwhelming crowds of the French Riviera. It’s an excellent way to unwind and cool off, quite literally.

• Explore Brittany’s religious heritage : historically devout Catholics, the Breton people built numerous monasteries, churches, and cathedrals over the centuries. These architectural masterpieces are impeccably maintained today and continue to leave a lasting impression on visitors.

• Pay a visit to Brittany’s enigmatic standing stones : Megaliths have been standing on Brittany’s soil since 4000 BC, and their significance remains a mystery to this day. One thing is certain though: their alignment makes for an astonishing view that shouldn’t be overlooked. 

• Embark on a road trip : Renting a car remains one of the best ways to explore Brittany’s charming villages, market towns, and harbours, some of the prettiest in France. Roscoff, St Malo, Concarneau, Locquirec, Locronan, the list goes on and on. Shop local, enjoy the Breton cuisine, chill out on café terraces. Just slow down and get a taste of the Breton way of life.

• Taste the local cakes : Remember the Breton crêpe? Yes, we discussed it… Well, that’s not the only temptation. Brittany’s traditional bakeries have more than one cunning way to ruin your pre-holiday diet. The butter-rich Kouign amann could potentially be your ultimate downfall, yet it would be a regrettable decision to leave Brittany without savouring a bite first.

The best time to explore Brittany, a region known for its mild year-round temperatures and being one of the wettest in France, is centred around two distinct periods. Spring, from April to June , is my favourite time of the year, as I am particularly concerned about crowds. As the days grow longer and bask in extended spells of sunshine, the region bursts into life. Monuments and lighthouses, closed to the public during the winter months, swing open their doors, welcoming the first visitors of the year. Meanwhile, restaurants and cafés reopen their terraces for al fresco dining. 

For those seeking an invigorating summer escapade, the period spanning from June to August is ideal for exploring Brittany. Though popular and abuzz with tourists, especially along the jaw-dropping southern coast graced with pristine sandy beaches, Brittany has a lot to offer and to keep you busy, from sightseeing to outdoor activities. Perfect for water sports enthusiasts, whether novices or seasoned veterans, the region’s pleasantly warm climate provides the perfect setting for surfing, beach outings, hiking, and island exploration, all without having to endure suffocating summer temperatures.

These are my favourite websites for organising a trip to Brittany, from travel insurance to booking a train ticket.

Heymondo – If you’re looking for travel insurance, check out Heymondo. They also have a nifty app to help you get the assistance you need while on the go.

Booking.com – My go-to website for researching accommodation in Brittany. The platform offers a broader and more budget-friendly selection of hotels.

Skyscanner – This site is a great search engine for finding flight deals. It also provides a helpful tool for finding the most adequate route to get to Brittany. 

Aer Lingus , Air France , Transavia and EasyJet – These are my preferred airlines for flying to Brittany at affordable prices.

Brittany Ferries , Irish Ferries and Stena Line – If you’re traveling from the UK or Ireland, you can also travel to France by ferry, with arrivals in Brittany or Normandy close by.

SNCF – You can conveniently reach Brittany from Paris with the French national train company. Book your ticket in advance, as last minute fares can be costly.

Blablacar Bus – This low-cost bus company will take you from Paris to Brittany at a fraction of the cost of a train ticket and help you navigate between the region’s main cities.

Rentalcars – This site allows you to compare the best deals from all major car rental companies, so you don’t spend more than you should.

Lonely Planet – Lonely Planet’s regional guide covers Brittany and Normandy, making it one of my top travel guides when planning a trip to the area.

I’m including some travel tips in this travel guide to Brittany that could prove helpful.

• Do not miss Brittany’s historic cities . Rennes is considered the capital of Brittany, while Nantes is home to the Castle of the Dukes of Brittany, the primary residence of the Duchy’s former rulers. Brest is famous for its naval history, and the picturesque charm of Quimper is simply irresistible.
• What language do people speak? French is, of course, the main language in Brittany, but 5% of the population also speaks Breton, and 3% speaks Gallo, two local languages. You should be able to manage in English in the most touristy places, but having some basic French knowledge will highly be beneficial.
• What currency would I need? Stock up on euros. Shops won’t accept any other currency.
• Can I drive In Brittany with a foreign driving licence? If you have a driving licence from the European Economic Area, you’re good to go!  For those coming from outside the EEA, you will need a driving licence in French. If not, you’ll need to carry an official translation of your licence or an international driving licence along with your actual driving licence.

I would give this 6 stars if the ratings went that high! This really was one of the highlights of our vacation. Due to scheduling issues, we ended up with ...

Long before Brittany became subsumed into France, the inhabitants of this rugged Atlantic promontory were risking their lives fishing and trading on the violent seas, and struggling with the arid soil of the interior. Today this toughness and resilience continues to define the region, which is deeply infused with Celtic culture: mystical, musical, sometimes morbid and defeatist, sometimes vital and inspired. Archeologically, Brittany is among the richest sites in the world – the alignments at Carnac rival Stonehenge. It first appeared in history as the quasi-mythical “Little Britain” of Arthurian legend, and in the days when travel by sea was safer and easier than by land, it was intimately connected with “Great Britain” across the water. Settlements such as St-Malo, St-Pol and Quimper were founded by otherwise unrecorded Welsh and Irish missionary saints.

A Breton glossary

Food in brittany, the inter-celtic festival, the nantes–brest canal.

Brittany remained independent until the sixteenth century; after its last ruler, Duchess Anne, died in 1532, François I took her daughter and lands, and sealed the union with France with an act supposedly enshrining certain privileges. Successive violations of this treaty by Paris, and subsequent revolts, form the core of Breton history since the Middle Ages.

Many Bretons continue to regard France as a separate country. Few, however, actively support Breton nationalism much beyond displaying Breizh (Breton for “Brittany”) stickers on their cars. But the Breton language remains very much alive, and the economic resurgence since the 1970s, helped partly by summer tourism, has largely been due to local initiatives, like Brittany Ferries re-establishing the old trading links with Britain and Ireland. At the same time a Celtic artistic identity has consciously been revived, and local festivals – above all August’s Inter-Celtic Festival at Lorient – celebrate Breton music, poetry and dance, with fellow Celts treated as comrades.

For most visitors, the Breton coast is the dominant feature. Apart from the Côte d’Azur, this is France’s most popular resort area, for French and foreign tourists alike. Its attractions are obvious: warm white-sand beaches, towering cliffs, rock formations and offshore islands and islets, and everywhere the stone dolmens and menhirs of a prehistoric past. The busiest areas are the Côte d’Émeraude around St-Malo ; the Côte de Granit Rose in the north; the Crozon peninsula in far western Finistère ; the family resorts such as Bénodet just to the south; and the Morbihan coast below Vannes . Hotels and campsites here are plentiful, if pushed to their limits from mid-June to the end of August.

Be sure not to leave Brittany without visiting one of its many islands – such as the Île de Bréhat , the Île de Sein , or Belle-Île – or taking in cities like Quimper or Morlaix , testimony to the riches of the medieval duchy. Allow time, too, to explore the much quieter interior , despite its sketchy transport and shortage of accommodation.

If you’re looking for traditional Breton fun, and you can’t make the large-scale summer events in Lorient or Quimper, look out for gatherings organized by Celtic folklore groups – Circles or Bagadou. You may also be interested by the pardons , pilgrimage festivals commemorating local saints. Bear in mind, though, that these are not phoney affairs kept alive for tourists, but deeply serious and rather gloomy religious occasions.

Travel ideas for France, created by local experts

An active walking tour out of the way in France

Your trip starts with an in-depth introduction to France in Paris: several unique day excursions connect you with local Parisians to show you their city and way of life. Afterwards continue south to start a few days walking journey through Southern France before ending around Avignon.

Southern France – Walks in the Alpilles and Lavender fields

Start your tour in the coastal city of Marseille, exploring Cassis on the way. Around the Alpilles in Provence, you will be provided with detailed walking materials to explore the area on foot, from both Les Baux and St Remy. End your tour in famous Avignon.

Tasting Eastern France

A delicious yet active journey through Eastern France. Start your trip in Lyon with some unique food tours before setting off on a 4-day walk across the Beaujolais region. Almost every day ends with a wine tasting in your guesthouse, soothing for body and soul.

Taste of Three - Belgium, France and Switzerland

Start your journey in Belgium and explore Brussels, Ghent and Bruges. A high-speed train will then take you to Strasbourg, from where you'll discover the Alsace. Proceed to Basel as your base, from where you'll see plenty of Switzerland: Zermatt, Matterhorn, Mount Pilatus and much more.

Although estimates of the number of Breton-speakers range from 400,000 to 800,000, you’re unlikely to encounter it spoken as a day-to-day language. Learning Breton is not really a viable prospect for visitors who lack a grounding in Welsh, Gaelic or some other Celtic tongue. However, it’s interesting to note the roots of Breton place names, many of which have a simple meaning. Below are some of the most common:

(rounded) mountain

stone circle

stone table

port, farmyard

fountain, spring

village or house

Brittany’s proudest contribution to world cuisine has to be the crêpe , and its savoury equivalent the galette ; crêperies throughout the region serve them with every imaginable filling. However, gourmets are more likely to be enticed by the magnificent array of seafood . Restaurants in resorts such as St-Malo and Quiberon jostle to attract fish connoisseurs, while some smaller towns – like Cancale, widely regarded as the best place in France for oysters ( huîtres ), and Erquy, with its scallops ( coquilles St-Jacques ) – depend on one specific mollusc for their livelihood.

Although they can’t claim to be uniquely Breton, two appetizers feature on every self-respecting menu – moules marinière , giant bowls of succulent orange mussels steamed in white wine, shallots and parsley (and perhaps enriched with cream or crème fraîche to become moules à la crème ), and soupe de poissons (fish soup), traditionally served with garlicky rouille mayonnaise (coloured with sweet red pepper), a mound of grated gruyère, and a bowl of croutons. Jars of fresh soupe de poissons , sold in seaside poissonneries , make an ideal way to take a taste of France home with you. Paying a bit more in a restaurant – typically on menus costing €30 or more – brings you into the realm of the assiette de fruits de mer , a mountainous heap of langoustines, crabs, oysters, mussels, clams, whelks and cockles, most raw and all delicious.

Main courses tend to be plainer than in neighbouring Normandy. Fresh fish is prepared with relatively simple sauces. Skate served with capers, or salmon baked with a mustard or cheese sauce, are typical, while even the cotriade , a stew containing sole, turbot or bass, as well as shellfish, is less rich than its Mediterranean equivalent, the bouillabaisse. Brittany is also better than much of France in its respect for fresh vegetables , thanks to local-grown peas, cauliflowers, artichokes and the like. Only with the desserts can things get a little heavy; far Breton , considered a great delicacy, is a baked concoction of sponge and custard dotted with chopped plums, while îles flottantes are soft meringue icebergs adrift in a sea of crème anglaise , a light egg custard.

Strictly speaking, no wine is produced in Brittany; although they’re often regarded as Breton, the dry whites Muscadet and Gros-Plant are produced in the neighbouring département of Loire-Atlantique.

The world’s largest Celtic event, Brittany's Inter-Celtic Festival takes place over ten days from the first Friday to the second Sunday in August in the city of Lorient . Representatives from all the Celtic nations of Europe – Brittany, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, the Isle of Man, Asturias and Galicia – come to celebrate cultural solidarity. Well over half a million people attend more than a hundred different shows, five languages mingle, and Scotch and Guinness flow with French and Spanish wines and ciders.

There’s a certain competitive element, with championships in various categories, but mutual enthusiasm and conviviality is paramount. Various activities – embracing music, dance and literature – take place all over the city, with mass celebrations around both the central place Jules-Ferry and the fishing harbour, and the biggest concerts at the local football stadium, the Parc du Moustoir.

For full schedules , which are not usually finalized until June, see festival-interceltique.com . Reserve tickets for the largest events well in advance.

Completed in 1836, the meandering chain of waterways collectively known as the Nantes–Brest canal connects Finistère to the Loire. Interweaving rivers with stretches of canal, it was built at Napoleon’s instigation to bypass the belligerent English fleets off the coast. As a focus for exploring inland Brittany , whether by barge, bike, foot, or all three, the canal is ideal. Not every stretch is accessible, but detours can be made away from it, such as into the wild and desolate Monts d’Arrée to the north of the canal in Finistère.

The canal passes through riverside towns, such as Josselin , that long predate its construction; the old port of Redon , a patchwork of water, where the canal crosses the River Vilaine; and a sequence of scenic splendours, including long, narrow Lac de Guerlédan , created by the construction of the Barrage de Guerlédan , near Mur-de-Bretagne.

We spent three weeks in Brittany in September 2011. This report was originally published on Slow Travel and Pauline has asked me to post it here. As it is so long I've divided it up to make it more manageable. This is a general introduction and I have written separate reports for the three different places we stopped. Part 1 covering Southern Finistere (Guengat) is here . Part 2 covering Morbihan (Plumelec) is here . Part 3 covering Northern Finistere (St Thegonnec) is here . A three week holiday in Brittany in September 2011 “Let’s go to Brittany” said Michael. I’d been to France in 1960 with my aunt which doesn’t really count and Michael had never been. We were complete novices. We bought a copy of the Michelin map for Brittany, borrowed or bought guide books and sent off for information for companies renting gites in Brittany. Although Brittany isn’t very big and it would be possible to reach all parts from a central location we decided to base ourselves in three areas to cut down on the amount of driving each day. I quickly identified Northern Brittany for the Parish Closes, Southern Brittany for the coastline and Morbihan for the megalithic remains. We decided to use Brittany Ferries to book ferry crossings and also accommodation. They have a lot of gites scattered across Brittany. Coastal properties in the major tourist areas like Côte du Granit Rose were quite expensive but prices dropped if you moved inland or chose less popular areas. Brittany Ferries produce a very detailed brochure and their website is easy to use. My only criticism is there is no logic in the order of gites in their brochure and if you are looking for a specific location it may be scattered across several pages. Check out locations carefully before booking as many can be at the end of a country road and not at all close to the village in the address. We eventually settled on Guengat for Southern Finistère, Plumelec for Morbihan and St-Thegonnec for Northern Finistère. We found descriptions of the three gites we booked accurate and directions for finding them were too. All were spotlessly clean and well maintained. Standards are high. The owners did speak a certain amount of English. Michael’s school boy French stood up better than mine. We decided to use the night sailing between Plymouth and Roscoff both ways. We knew we would sleep at it would give us an extra day at each end of the holiday. It is not possible to book more than one location on the web so we had to ring up to make a booking. This was quick and easy and paperwork sent out promptly. Final paperwork was sent out 3 weeks before we left. The ferry crossing was smooth both ways. It was a pleasant boat with a couple of shops; one selling perfumes and alcohol, the other gifts and some clothes. There is outside seating at the front. We had an inside cabin. Being an overnight sailing there didn’t seem much point in paying extra to have a window. There were four beds, so we could each have a lower bed. As in all ferries there was a reasonable amount of space for two people but might have been cramped with Four. My only complaint would be the towels let them down as they were thin and got damp quickly. Loading and unloading was quick and efficient. Immigration at Roscoff hardly looked at our passport before waving us through. Coming back, Plymouth immigration was slower. Passports were studied and driver and passenger identified. We were also asked where we were going to and how long it would take before being waved through. We weren’t sure whether this was just making conversation or quizzing.  

Map reading around Brittany Map reading isn’t my strongest point and inability to to get right and left correct when giving directions doesn’t help. I was using a copy of Michelin 1:2000,000 map which is a scale of 1cm to 2km. I was sure this would be detailed enough. 


However, once we arrived I soon realised that many many of the minor roads are not marked on the map, a sure recipe for disaster.
 Plans were often thwarted by lack of signs or my map reading skills. Inability to get right and left correct when giving directions doesn’t help. Michael’s patience often began to wear thin and there were muttered comments about sat nav. Signing was inconsistent. Often there were no signs or different place names were used on successive signs.
On rural roads signing seems to be designed to help the postman or white van man rather than tourists. At each junction there was a small sign listing all the names of farms or hamlets, none of which were marked on the map. If in doubt we took what we thought was the more important road. Lack of road markings didn’t help in trying to work out which road was the ‘main’ one.


 Cross road signs are used for all junctions regardless of the number of roads. Advance warning signs are rarely used and when used nearly always seem to be placed near a minor road junction quite a long way before the actual junction. We would look at each other and ask “do they really mean this turn?” In the countryside there are rarely advance warning signs before a roundabout. Where there are, names of major towns (eg Nantes, Brest, Rennes, Lorient) which can be up to 50 miles away, or tiny villages a couple of kilometres off the junction are used. This led to rapid scanning of the map trying to find out where these places were which I’d never heard of, as Michael kept saying ‘I need to know which way to go’. We would drive slowly round the roundabout scanning the signs off which all used different names to those on the advance warning boards. There were several times we when we went round twice. Perhaps that explains why we saw so many cars which sides stove in. To add further confusion, the upright arrow is rarely used and an angled arrow used.This means it is not always clear whether signs meant straight on or turn right or left. On the outskirts of smaller towns or villages there are no signposts. Instead there is a large board at the junction which looks a bit like a railway map as it has a diagram showing all the road junctions off that side turning with the names of the places they went to. Although road numbers are shown on the Michelin map the number changes along the road and road numbers are not used on road signs. We missed out turn many times. We took the wrong turn several times. Tempers got frayed and we missed some of the sights on my todo list. But we found some amazing places by chance...  

Guide Books I spend a long time with the guide books and on the internet researching our holiday. The following are my comments on the guide books available. MICHELIN BRITTANY (GREEN GUIDES) - Verdict 5*
 If you want detailed information about Brittany (including places off the usual tourist beat) this is the book to choose. It is an excellent reference book with plans of the major towns, with suggested walking routes and details of things to do around the area as well as suggestions for sleeping and eating. There is an estimate of the time needed to see a place as well as suggested driving tours (with distances and times) from each of the major settlements. You do need to 'work at' this book. It is not the sort of book you can skim through area by area and pick out must sees. The book is arranged alphabetically rather than regionally so is more of a reference book rather than guide book. The index is poor and many of the smaller places are not listed. I ended up having to make my own index to refer to.You have to know your geography to know which section of the book to find them. This is my major criticism of the book. The maps are poor so I bought a copy of the Michelin Map France: Brittany 512 at a scale of 1cm to 2km which I used for planning. We kept this in the car during the holiday to read up on places before visiting – having made sure I had a note of the page. DK EYEWITNESS TRAVEL GUIDE: BRITTANY - Verdict 5*
 Anyone familiar with DK Eyewitness guides will know what to expect. For those who aren't, they are way ahead of Lonely Planet and Rough Guide when to comes to area maps, pictures and information. The guide has a brief introductory section on history and culture. It is then divided into the 6 main regions of Brittany. At the start of each section is a reasonable map marking the main towns/attractions. The text gives details of things to do and see for each as well as other villages close too. There are plenty of excellent colour pictures as well as smaller more detailed maps and also some 3D maps of town centres. There are 2 page colour spreads of some of the major attractions eg Altarpiece of the ten thousand martyrs at Crozen, Abbaye Mont-St-Michel, Ville Close Concarneau…. Suggestions for accommodation or places to eat are found in a final section 'Traveller's Needs' which also covers shopping, general information on outdoor activities as well as general information on how to get to Brittany, and a survival guide. The book is packed with information and lots of suggestions on places to go and things to do and see. It covers many smaller places not included by the other guide books. Visually it is good to look at. As well as being used for pre travel planning, it is also the kind of book you will want to keep as a reminder of a holiday. THE ROUGH GUIDE TO BRITTANY AND NORMANDY - Verdict 3* This is a typical Rough Guide production – and you know what you are getting. There is a reasonable amount of information about different places with lists of restaurants and accommodation. It is upfront in telling you that places are not worth visiting, or those which are busy with tourists. It divides Brittany up into the different coastal areas. The centre of Brittany is lumped together under the heading ‘Nantes Brest Canal’ and coverage of this area is a bit thin. The maps at the front of each section showing the area covered are not detailed enough for planning purposes so you will need to use a larger scale map. This is way, way better than Lonely Planet and Footprint Brittany. However for information on those out of the way places, Eyewitness or Michelin are better. BRITTANY FOOTPRINT TRAVEL GUIDES - Verdict 2*
 Superficially this looks good as it is printed on good quality paper with some nice photographs. It is the kind of book you can leave lying around to impress friends. POSITIVES 
• The Introductory section has a useful run down on history, culture, activities, shopping.
 • There are some nice photographs. • Few towns are covered in detail, some have a map.
 • The section on sleeping, eating and shopping at the end of each region are good with plenty of ideas and sufficient detail to help make a choice. NEGATIVES
 • There is only one small map of Brittany. Many places mentioned in the text are not marked on the map.
 • There are no detailed regional maps.
 • Most places are covered in a few lines. Even descriptions of important sites like Carnac are very superficial with no map or information to help find the sites mentioned. 
• Opening times and entrance fees are not always given. 
• Information to find tourist attractions is not given or is so vague as to be useless. "…follow roads round a triangle to find them.' May be it is obvious when you are on the spot? 
• The two page spread on walking was spoilt because it was printed on a sepia and brown background picture which made reading the print difficult to impossible. The double page spread on sports and activities is printed on a pale grey/green/blue picture of coastline and equally as difficult to read. I've used Footprint books for India, Patagonia and Bolivia and although maps have been poor, I have been impressed by the amount of detail and information in them. They are solidly written fact. I was very disappointed by this guide book. Only buy if you want information on sleeping, eating and shopping. If you want detailed information about towns, villages and sights in Brittany, don't buy this book. BRITTANY AND NORMANDY – LONELY PLANET COUNTRY AND REGIONAL GUIDES - Verdict 1*
 This is the guide for those who don't want to do any preliminary research or find anything out about the history and culture. About the only good thing to be said for it is that it is logically arranged into driving itineraries. However there is little or no information for route finding. Places are mentioned which aren't shown on their maps. Area maps are not detailed enough to be used for map reading on holiday, so you need to buy maps for this. More town plans would be appreciated. The naff sub titles also irk. "Bring out your inner twitcher" If this is the 'new look' Lonely Planet then I won't be buying any more as it is dumming down on information. If you want a guide book with detailed information then don't buy this one. MICHELIN REGIONAL MAPS: BRETAGNE
 This is at a scale of 1:200000 (1cm to 2km) and shows all of the smaller unclassified roads between the villages. There are maps on both sides of the paper. The maps are clear and easy to use. There is a good place index although the grid squares are large so it can take a time to find the smaller settlements. Attractions (Churches, Chateaux, ancient remains etc) are marked on the map by symbols. There is table showing distances and driving times between major settlements. The map is a bit big for easy use and we had to strengthened the corners with clear sticky tape before use to stop them tearing. MICHELIN FRANCE 2011 TOURIST AND MOTORING ATLAS 
The folding map was a bit too big to use easily in the car, so we bought a copy of Michelin France Tourist and Motoring Atlas to use when we were in France. The maps are the same scale of 1:200,000 and has the same symbols. It also has smaller scale planning maps. The book is 462 pages and heavy. It is also spiral bound which meant by the end of the holiday the more used pages were beginning to tear. There were some days when we were needing to use several different pages, which could make advance route planning ‘interesting’ and the folding map came into its own here. I also disliked having to navigate across the spiral bound joins.
