Jutting
defiantly into the Atlantic, France's northwest corner has long been
culturally and geographically distinct from the main bulk of the country.
Its Celtic name "Armorica," "the land of the Sea."

Visitors
from all over Europe are attracted by Brittany's many miles of smooth
golden sand, its dramatic cliff scenery, its ancient forests, pretty
towns and villages, its culture, the friendliness of the Breton people,
and the ease of driving on the many beautiful and often little used
roads. There is a timeless charm that this ancient province offers
to all its visitors.

Brittany's
past swirls with the legends of drowned cities and Arthurian forests.
Prehistoric megaliths arise mysteriously from the land and sea, and
the medieval is never far from the modern.
This beautiful countryside offers you a chance to relax and follow
most sporting activities including fishing, cycling, walking etc.
A visit to the old churches and calvaries in the area is a must, along
with a visit to the pink granite coast with its beautiful beaches
and fascinating rock forms all within a short driving distance.
