ittany Brittany is a land of tradition, blessed with a favourable climate and, being so easy to reach from Britain, makes an ideal holiday area. The coastline offers countless sandy beaches, rock pools and breathtaking views. Spring is mild and the countryside is possibly at its most beautiful - ablaze with the golden hue of gorse, the hedgerows full of an abundance of wild flowers and alive to the song of birds. Nature lovers enjoy the peace of long, spring days and little country roads, that even today see few cars. During July and August the atmosphere changes, as resorts welcome the many tourists to the area, with beaches and restaurants brimming full of life.

Wander round their cobbled streets, see their ancient buildings and fortifications. Food Take advantage of the abundance of shellfish and seafood of this region. Many restaurants specialise in “Fruits de la Mer” - large platters are served piled high with shrimps, langoustine, crayfish, crabs, mussels and oysters. A contrasting gourmet delight can be found in the “Creperies”, which are small family restaurants, often in delightful thatched cottages offering an entire menu of savoury or sweet pancakes. They are reasonably priced and appealing to children and adults alike. Getting to Brittany Brittany is easily accessible by car or plane and the short travelling time from the south coast of England makes it a popular destination for families. Why not take a longer sea crossing to St Malo or Roscoff to reduce the driving time to our campsites once you’re in <strong>France</strong>? Most sites are within an easy drive of an airport too, so it’s worth considering a flight to somewhere like Rennes or Quimper, especially in low season when the fares are cheaper. telephone our reservations team on 01483 285213 19
