8Brittany (Bretagne)

Wild, mystical, and deeply atmospheric, Brittany feels worlds away from the rest of France. Its rugged Atlantic coastline stretches for miles, marked by dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, and powerful tides. 

Medieval towns like Dinan and coastal gems such as Saint-Malo showcase Brittany’s rich maritime heritage. Inland, ancient forests and mysterious standing stones create a Celtic aura. The region’s raw beauty and strong identity make it one of France’s most captivating destinations.
