Back Cover Copy
From dramatic headlands and precipitous coastal paths to mysterious neolithic ruins and old Nazi blockhouses, Brittany is a wild and exhilarating place to visit. A region at the mercy of the elements, it is also full of tranquil corners where longstanding traditions are quietly maintained in the everyday life of the inhabitants. Our half-Breton author takes you on a lovingly described tour of the region, from its great cities and granite villages to its family resorts and isolated beaches. Details of local markets and festivals tempt you to participate in local life, while ancient Breton legends of drowned cities and saintly miracles keep you entertained en route.
