Gîtes Bretagne

Discover Brittany and the surrounding area on holiday

For your next holiday in France, let yourself be tempted by the charm of Brittany! When you say Brittany, you say seaside! This destination in the west of France is divided between the Atlantic Ocean and the English Channel, with 2,700 km of coastline, the longest in France. From Saint-Malo to the Pink Granite Coast, from the Pointe du Raz to the Gulf of Morbihan, there's something for everyone. Book your stay in a Clévacances gîte and set off to discover this land of a thousand colours. Admire the view from the cliffs, bask on the crystal-clear beaches, stroll through the picturesque ports (Saint-Goustan, Camaret, Sainte-Marine, Roscoff) or visit the lively seaside resorts (Carantec, Erquy, Carnac, Dinard). Brittany offers a wide variety of atmospheres on the GR 34 coastal path that circles it. For a night or a longer stay, make the most of your holiday in a gîte to admire these very special landscapes. In the distance, you can see the islands: Ouessant, Sein, Groix, Belle-île-en-Mer… For lovers of architecture, your stay in Brittany will be an opportunity to admire the colourful medieval towns with their timber-framed houses (Dinan, Josselin, Vannes, Moncontour…), the fortified towns (Concarneau, Port-Louis, Saint-Malo) and the craft villages (La Gacilly, Pont-Scorff…) that invite you to wander. From your gîte, you can explore the region's many historic sites, such as the Atelier des Capucins in Brest and the submarine base in Lorient. Rennes, the capital, is teeming with inventive restaurants, trendy boutiques and arty galleries. Brittany is a dynamic and creative city! While you're in Brittany, don't forget to visit the Monts d'Arrée, with its moorland and rocky landscapes. Your holidays in Brittany will be an opportunity to take a deep breath of fresh air and recharge your batteries, at the beach or on the banks of Lac de Guerlédan for example, the region's veritable green lung. Stroll through the legendary forests of Huelgoat and Brocéliande, following in the footsteps of Gargantua, King Arthur and the fairy Viviane. There's magic everywhere! After all this sightseeing, you'll have earned a well-deserved rest in your comfortable, quality-labelled gîte. Choose the rental that suits you from our many gîtes and set off to discover Brittany and its wonders.

Activities to discover in Brittany

Brittany will seduce you with the immense diversity of its landscapes, but that's not all. For, in Brittany, there is no shortage of activities. Whether you're looking for something to do on your own or with friends, family or friends, you're spoilt for choice! On both the English Channel and the Atlantic coast, the Breton coastline offers an incredible diversity of beaches, some of the most beautiful in France. Take advantage of your holidays in Brittany to relax, lay your towel on the sand and let yourself be lulled by the sound of the waves and the song of the seagulls. Do you prefer to have fun in the water? Surf, kite-surf, paddle or wingfoil: Brittany is "the place to glide". There's a surf spot for every level, and there are Surf Schools everywhere to help you get started and get the most out of your holiday. With thousands of kilometres of signposted footpaths, walkers will find something to suit them, whether on the coast or inland. Cycling on the greenways, kayaking on the canals and rivers, climbing the granite cliffs… Brittany is a paradise for outdoor activities. In Brittany, family holidays rhyme with fun activities: straightening menhirs (Carnac, Monténeuf), hunting for treasures in the castles (Rocher Portail, Fougères) or climbing trees on the Accrobranche courses. During your holiday in Brittany, make the most of your stay in one of our gîtes to meet the animals, on land (Branféré Park) or at sea (dolphin trip). Is it raining? Take the opportunity to visit the Grand Aquarium in Saint-Malo or Océanopolis in Brest! Rock festivals (Vieilles Charrues in Carhaix, Route du Rock in Saint-Malo), electro (Astropolis in Brest) or Interceltique (in Lorient), open-air exhibitions (photos at la Gacilly, sculptures at Kerguéhennec and Château des Pères), street art… between deep-rooted traditions and contemporary culture, there's always something going on in Brittany! When it comes to gastronomy, there's plenty for gourmets to enjoy. You won't want to end your holiday without sampling the region's famous crêpes and galettes. You can also enjoy freshly caught fish and shellfish, kouign-amann and other sweet treats. In summer, tasting oysters straight from the boatyard is a must! All year round, Brittany's markets are brimming with local produce. Explore the stalls and take some of these specialities home as souvenirs. And if you don't have the patience to wait until your holidays are over, you can always enjoy them around a table in your Clévacances gîte.
