Location
Protruding into the sea on the northwestern edge of France, Brittany and the department of Finistere is also the most northwesterly point in Europe. Its warm summers are thanks to the influence of the Gulf Stream. Many of the region's islands are protected areas for sea birds.

The Bretons are staunchly proud of their culture and traditions. Their traditional costumes, includes a tall lace head dress for the women, is one of the regions trademarks and the area's rich maritime traditions are evident in the fishing ports that are dotted around the coastline Its these qualities that makes a holiday to Brittany so captivating. This and the fact that the Bretons are a hugely hospitable race with a diverse countryside and a cuisine to match!
