Bretagne

Boasting the longest coastline in France, Bretagne is a tranquil seaside retreat, on a peninsula lying between the English Channel to the north and the Bay of Biscay to the South. The presence of the ocean is inherent in everything Bretagne, from the culinary tradition marked by shellfish, seafood, and fish, to the boat accessible islands that dot the coast. Filled with quiet countrysides, small fishing villages, melancholic moors, and sandy beaches, Bretagne is sure to be a relaxing haven away from the bustle of big city life.
