A weekend in Brittany, a magical and emblematic place
Whether it is with the wild landscapes of Finistère, or the magical area of the Bay of Morbihan, Brittany has a hypnotical facet that cannot be explained. Rent a holiday accommodation in the Finistere in Brittany, it's it's the start of happiness!
Do you know the city of Vannes in the Gulf of Morbihan? This fortified city where land and sea meet will take you back in time. The Ker Goh Lenn*** Residence will allow you to set down your suitcases to better discover all the must-sees of Vannes. Explore the city ramparts as well as the Saint-Pierre Cathedral. On your way, admire the half-timbered houses, one of the most beautiful postcard landscapes of the Vannais country. Come and see the most mythical couple in the country, the sculpture of a man and a woman, at the corner of Rue du Bienheureux-Pierre-René-Rogue and Rue Noé. To relax after your outings, the residence offers a wellness area and an ample breakfast buffet or a basket upon request.
Also in the Morbihan, Rochefort-en-Terre, voted the favorite village by the French in 2016, has some very interesting attractions. Located only 38 kilometers from Vannes, this village filled with flowers has corners, facades and little alleyways that will lend themselves perfectly to a photo shoot. Half-timbered houses, Gothic buildings, Renaissance mansions, classical hotels, 19th century architecture, absolutely everything here will leave you under its spell. To learn more about this fascinating village, the Residence Ar Peoc'h in the area of Questembert welcomes you with open arms. From here, visit the prehistoric park, discover the beautiful religious buildings that make up the charm of inner Brittany, and taste the specialties of the region, made from cider. And yes, we should not forget that during this touristic journey that we are here in the land of cider and the famous Breton cake (to taste with moderation, the cider, but not the cake!). Then enjoy a digestive walk along the banks of the pond of the Moulin Neuf.
The joys of the ocean in Finistère for a weekend in Brittany surrounded by nature
To spend a weekend in Brittany, what better than to gaze (and why not dive completely) into the intense blue of the ocean? Forget the often-crowded beaches of the French Riviera and enjoy the long and vast sandy beaches of the Finistère.
The Vacancéole vacation residence, Les Terrasses de Pentrez*** welcomes you in one of its comfortable apartments or houses to spend a weekend in Brittany (why not to go for a romantic weeekend in Brittany?). You will fall under its charm by the panoramic view of the Atlantic Ocean from the residence. You are only 500 meters away from the long beaches with fine sand. Beautiful walks in the salty sea breeze await you. To continue to stretch your legs, the hiking trails of the Armorique Regional Natural Park are right next door. From the residence, explore the Océanopolis, but also the unique villages of the area such as Locronan, Faou, or Quimper. Also, don’t hesitate to visit the Crozon peninsula.
Discover the landscapes of the Côte d’Armor during your weekend in Brittany
For a change of scenery, head to the privateer city of Saint-Malo. Another face of Brittany with different stories and legends. The city of Saint-Malo has an aura that draws people in to feel the phenomenon for themselves. This town on the Emerald Coast is magical and captivating. Walk around the city walls and stop at Place Chateaubriand for a coffee or a bite to eat in a unique place. Don’t forget to stroll through the port of Saint-Malo for a good dose of sea spray. The most emblematic beaches of the city are the Eventail, the Bon Secours beach, Le Sillon and Le Môle. Drop your suitcase at the Reine Marine*** Residence to spend a weekend in Brittany near Saint-Malo, just 3 km from the sandy beach and 500 meters from the city center. Enjoy direct access to the beach from the residence and a special partnership with the Thermes Marins de Saint-Malo for a little seawater pampering.
As a bonus, Vacancéole blows you away because you can kill two birds with one stone by also discovering the splendid bay of Mont-Saint-Michel. Let it be said, before any misunderstanding, Mont-Saint-Michel is in Normandy, very close to the last Breton lines and the city of Saint-Malo. That’s why you can easily spend a weekend in Brittany and also take a trip to the famous mountain. The Duguesclin*** Residence in Dinan promises you a beautiful weekend in the Côtes-d'Armor. Between its stone walls and slate roof, this residence makes you feel as if you live the castle life, in studios ranging from 20 to 67 m2. Take advantage of your getaway to discover Dinan and its surroundings. Venture out and see the castle and the city walls. At the top, gaze upon the valley and the Rance river.
The Cape Fréhel is also within walking distance. It is a striking performance not to be missed. If you enjoy outdoor sports, this weekend in Brittany will give you the opportunity to discover the numerous hiking trails and the trails that are accessible by bike in the region. The bravest can also go kayaking down the Rance River. After all these activities, think about eating a delicious Breton salted butter caramel crêpe or a gavotte, a specialty of the region.
