The Neolithic period has left a legacy of menhirs, dolmens and cromlechs of such quantity and quality that Brittany is the major site for megaliths in Europe and possibly the world.
It is difficult to resist Brittany’s charm and to escape being captivated by this land created by the vagaries of wind, water and time. The Romans’ “finis terrae” possesses all the attributes needed to charm visitors.
Along a coastline where steep cliffs give way to fine sandy beaches, historic fishing villages nestle side by side with renowned seaside resorts. Inland, the heath merges into rolling hills and lakes and marshes conceal oases of green.
Brittany is a region proud of its roots and has successfully retained its customs and traditions. History and legend have given rise to an outstanding artistic heritage.
