How to evoke holidays in France without mentioning Brittany. When we evoke this region, we immediately think of the sea and its spray, buckwheat pancakes but also often rain.
But as you can imagine, this region is much more than that. A true land of traditions, Brittany is nevertheless part of a modernity that makes it a particularly attractive corner of France.

Among the emblematic places of Brittany that we recommend, there are:
● The Quiberon peninsula
● The Gulf of Morbihan
● The Pink Granite Coast
● The road of lighthouses and Abers in Finistère.

If you plan to go to Brittany in the summer and avoid the crowds of the coast, you can also opt for the heart of Brittany. For this, you can for example travel the canal from Nantes to Brest. An idyllic route that runs slowly with beautiful encounters along the way. Cyclists, walkers, boaters, locals or fishermen, you will meet many people who will be happy to tell you their story of the canal. An excellent way to discover an authentic and welcoming Brittany.

Destination n°3 : Auvergne

If you prefer the great outdoors and calm for your holidays, then Auvergne should definitely convince you.

Beyond the unmissable Chaîne des Puys – Limagne fault, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Auvergne offers a wide variety of activities for your holidays.

Let's mention for example the PAL, the only amusement park to combine atypical accommodation, animal part and thrilling rides.

We also advise you to discover the Gorges de la Loire. The longest river in France (also considered by many to be the most beautiful) has its source in this region. Wild, fierce and full of surprises, the Gorges de la Loire will delight lovers of wild nature spots.
