Highlights of Brittany
Highlights of Brittany
The soul of Brittany is pierced by truly intrepid travelers, many of whom are often seduced into unexpectedly long stays. Among all the village fêtes, prehistoric megaliths, and picturesque medieval towns, best bets include Belle-Ile-en-Mer, Brittany's most beautiful island; Carnac, the Breton "Stonehenge"; the Château de Combourg, home of the great 19th-century writer Chateaubriand; top dining at Le Relais Gourmand O. Roellinger; the fortified Old Town of St-Malo; and the "cité des artistes" of Gauguin, Pont-Aven. Don't worry about overcrowding: Brittany's vast beaches are never crowded and there are enough castles to go around.
