This area is known for its rose-hued cliffs and islands located near Perros-Guirac. For those seeking a peaceful, romantic setting, the Ile-de-Brehat is the ideal destination; cars are not allowed. Or, for historical sights, visit St. Malo, another island off the coast. The quaint village has lovely cobblestone streets and 14th century architecture. From here you can take a ferry to other islands. The medieval city of Dinan, set on a hill overlooking the River Rance, is another essential destination for visitors to the Cotes-du-Nord.

Brittany’s western coast includes the naval port in Brest and the Isle d’Ouessant, known more for its bird sanctuary than its beaches. Also located here is the Parc Regional d’Armorique. This perfect natural paradise of ancient oaks and great expanses of countryside is ideal for exploration by bike or on foot.

Home to Brittany’s capital, Rennes, this region is also where you’ll find the Foret de Paimpont, or Broceliande, the legendary home of Merlin the Magician. In an afternoon, you can take a walk in the forest and drink from none other than Merlin’s spring. The fire of 1720 left only a small portion of Rennes’ historic core intact. A world apart from the modern city that has grown around it, the old center is navigable only by foot or bicycle and is filled with creperies, bars, and shops. The fortified renaissance city of St. Malo boasts an incredible citadel and a lively center brimming with restaurants and bars. If you’re traveling in the summer, take advantage of the beautiful nearby beaches. Just across from St. Malo lies Dinard, a peaceful seaside town that offers everything from casinos and luxury hotels to Victorian mansions and gentle coastal hiking trails.

If prehistory is your thing, then don’t miss Carnac. This coastal resort town is famous for its two thousand menhirs, or rows of column-like stones. The menhirs on the islands of Er Lannic and Gavrinis are particularly dramatic. Other highlights include the island of Belle-Ile-en-Mer and Vannes, the former capital of Brittany. The Golfe du Morbihan, known for its islands, prehistoric ruins, and oysters, offers many options for exploration. The best way to see the islands is to take a boat tour from Vannes.
