Your travel guide to Brittany

Brittany is a region found within north-western France. Flanked by the Atlantic Ocean to the north and to the south, this large peninsula has been an important cultural hub since at least the fifth millennium BCE. As the name may already suggest, Brittany has a close connection with Great Britain and this relationship can be seen in its burgeoning tourism industry. The vestiges of its Celtic heritage are not the only top attractions; on the contrary Brittany will please anyone visiting this unique region. So, why do our hoteliers recommend visiting this region?
