Choose your Brittany rentals
As an antidote to the glitz and glamour of accommodations found in the south of France in the Riviera, Brittany rentals are more likely to be charming rural cottages or coastal villas. Brisk, sunny days, with a climate dominated by the sea, means that a holiday in Brittany is best in the summer months. The rocky coastline, 750 miles long, features promontories, coves, and beaches. People in this northwestern province cling to their traditions and most villages hold an annual religious festival that attracts thousands of pilgrims.
The scenic and charming hinterland hamlets are worth driving around, especially to escape the sometimes overcrowded coast and to sample the regional cuisine. And be sure to visit the popular walled city St-Malo, built on a granite rock in the Channel, and joined to the mainland by a causeway, with its spiritual centrepiece, the Cathédrale St-Vincent.
Brittany vacation rentals are the perfect holiday
Consider Brittany vacation rentals at La Baule, in the warmer south, with its great beach and variety of restaurants and bars. And Dinard, on a rocky promontory at the top of the Rance River, can be reached by ferry from St-Malo. At the Pointe de la Vicomte, on the resort's southern tip, you can stroll along the promenade and enjoy the Victorian era ambience, and try some of the sheltered swimming spots. At Carnac, home to the Neolithic Field of Megaliths and the MusÈe de PrÈhistoire, pine-studded sand dunes and the family resorts of Carnac-Plage are the main attractions.
