Brittany is a country in its own right with coasts made of sharp rocks against which the sea crashes violently, desolate islands with birds and winds as their only masters. Brittany is also a land of magic, of druids a hundred years old, where the 'Cervoise' (local beer) is poured generously. Tourists are drawn to it because of its well preserved environment, this is a place with wonderful landscapes shaped by the winds and tides, narrow paths to walk along and where to dream carelessly for hours on end. An authentic country keeping in its soil memories that stood the test of time: many celtic remains can be found throughout the land. Its people are warm and welcoming and have passed on the passion for folklore and the respect for traditions to their children.
In the field of gastronomy, you will be tempted by a whole range of cakes, biscuits and 'ble noir' pancakes served with local ciders.
