What is it really like for holidays in Brittany

This is the first area for open outdoor family holidays

Close enough to the UK - hundreds of miles of rocky coastline with bay after bay of fine sandy beaches

The Breton people are Bretons first and French second

Their Celtic traditions give them a personal pride in their ancestors

Camp sites caravans cottages & gites - all sorts of accommodation - many with facilities directly aimed at families with young children - often exceptional value

Cotes-d'Armor

Rocky cliffs - northern coastline

Finistere

Western cliffs of France - some private peace and quiet

Ille-et-Vilaine

Popular coast around St Malo

Morbihan

The real family holiday land - easy to see why the Morbihan is so popular
