Located in the westward province of France, Brittany shares its Celtic past with us and the people of Bretagne are proud of their roots which they celebrate expressively in their wonderful food, drink, architecture and culture. Stretching around the coast from St Malo to Vannes, Brittany offers so much for the holiday maker - from the walled city of St. Malo to the modern sophisticated city of Brest; from the beautiful coast line with its many fabulous beaches, rocky shoreline and little fishing harbours, to the woods and lakes of the interior, Brittany has it all. Trident Holiday Homes has a wonderful selection of self catering accommodation in Brittany.
The beaches and coast line of Brittany are the main attraction for most travellers, but Brittany has so much more to share. A ‘must see’ for any trip to Brittany has to include a visit to Mont Saint Michel which seems to grow out of the bay which surrounds its rocky outcrop. St. Malo is also another glorious destination, its fortified enclave perched on a peninsula at the mouth of the river. The most Westerly point of France, La Point du Raz allows the visitor to marvel at the force of the Atlantic waves battering the coast line.
Brittany has more walking trails than anywhere else in France. Walking through the region allows time to savour the little things as well as marvelling at all the natural beauty. There is a fantastic coastal walking path in Brittany but there are many inland trails also. Cycling is easy and very enjoyable in the region as there are no major hills or mountains to surmount. Rent a bike for the day and explore the area under pedal-power.
Brittany is also home to Thellaso Therapy and as many of the therapy centres are located on the coast, you can enjoy relieving your stress and tension in beautiful marine surroundings.
Brittany hosts numerous markets so make sure you sample some such as those in Dinan and Quimper where you can pick up some fascinating objects along with gifts to bring back home.
Horse riding is freely available for riders of all abilities. Whether you fancy galloping down sandy beaches or trotting through woodlands, you will find the perfect equine outing in Brittany. Or if you are interested in fishing, Brittany offers the angler choices of river and lake fishing or perhaps charter a boat and try your hand at some coastal fishing.
Brittany makes the perfect holiday destination for families with children, for couples looking for a romantic get-away or for friends wishing to explore this beautiful part of France. Choose from one of our many holiday villas or holiday cottages in Brittany to find the perfect spot.
