Where is Brittany located?

Brittany is located in the far north-west of France, where the land meets the Atlantic Ocean and the English Channel. The region is a peninsula with a long and varied coastline, small fishing villages, medieval towns and an inland area with green landscapes. For those looking for trips to Brittany, a very French but at the same time distinctive part of the country awaits, with its own cultural heritage, strong culinary traditions and the ever-present sea.

Travel to Brittany by bike

One of the best ways to experience Brittany is from the saddle. Our Normandy & Brittany Cycle Tour combines scenic coastal stretches, historic sites and charming towns. The pace allows you to see the details: the stone houses, the tides, the ports and the small roads that lead between villages and the sea.

The trip is suitable for those who want to combine an active holiday with culture, history and good meals. During the trip we experience Brittany's coastal environments and visit places such as Saint-Malo and Cancale, while the trip also touches on Normandy's dramatic history.

Saint-Malo is one of Brittany's most famous coastal towns. The walled old town is beautifully situated on the seafront, offering cobblestone streets, sea views and a clear sense of the region's maritime history.

Nearby is Cancale, famous for its oysters and its view across the bay towards Mont-Saint-Michel. For those who want to experience the genuine Brittany, Cancale is an excellent stop, with the sea, restaurants and local produce at its heart. Inland, Dinan awaits, a well-preserved medieval town with half-timbered houses, small alleys and a beautiful port on the Rance River.
