Brittany – A Land of Character by the Sea

Introduction

Tucked away in the far west of France, Brittany is a region full of charm, tradition, and natural beauty. With its dramatic coastline, lush countryside, and deep cultural roots, Brittany appeals to those looking for a more authentic, peaceful lifestyle. Whether you're seeking a permanent move, a holiday retreat, or a smart investment opportunity, Brittany has something to offer everyone.

Key Towns and Locations

Rennes – The regional capital, known for its vibrant culture, excellent transport links, and thriving economy.
Vannes – A picturesque, historic port town located on the Gulf of Morbihan, popular with both tourists and year-round residents.
Quimper – The cultural heart of Cornouaille, famed for its faience pottery and charming Breton character.
Saint-Malo – A stunning walled seaside city, perfect for holiday homes and seasonal rental investments.
Brest – A major port and university city, with a strong maritime heritage and growing innovation sector.
Charming villages – Dinard, Concarneau, Pont-Aven, Paimpol and many more offer quaint, postcard-worthy scenery and authentic Breton life.

Population and Culture

With around 3.3 million residents, Brittany remains one of the most culturally distinct regions in France. The Breton and Gallo languages are still spoken in parts of the region, and Celtic roots are proudly celebrated through music, festivals, and traditional dress.

Locals are friendly and welcoming, and life here moves at a gentler pace. Brittany is particularly popular with families, retirees, artists, and remote workers who are drawn by the quality of life, stunning landscapes, and strong sense of community.

Of course, the local cuisine is another major draw – fresh seafood, crêpes, galettes, cider, and the famous kouign-amann are regional staples.

Airports and Ferry Ports

Brittany is well connected to both the UK and other parts of Europe:

Airports:
- Rennes – regular flights to London, Dublin, Barcelona, and major French cities
- Brest – flights to Lyon, Marseille, and UK destinations
- Lorient, Dinard, and Quimper – seasonal routes, including to the UK

Ferry Ports:
- Saint-Malo – regular ferries to Portsmouth, Jersey and Guernsey
- Roscoff – connections to Plymouth and Cork
- Brest & Lorient – cruise and regional boat services

Top Attractions and Sights

Carnac Stones – one of the world’s largest prehistoric megalithic sites
Gulf of Morbihan – a sheltered inland sea with dozens of islands, ideal for sailing and kayaking
Breton Islands – including Belle-Île-en-Mer, Bréhat and Ouessant, each with its own charm
Brocéliande Forest – steeped in Arthurian legend and local folklore
Traditional villages – such as Locronan, Rochefort-en-Terre, and Pont-Aven
