Holiday Accommodation Berrien

Berrien self-catering accommodation is set in Finistere, on Brittany’s western coast. This fascinating area is relatively isolated geographically, which has enabled it to maintain a character that is all its own. There’s more than 1,000 kilometers of coastline to discover in this department alone, much of which is nothing short of breathtaking. Starting with the north, the town of Morlaix is just a few minutes from Berrien holiday apartments and is famous for the historic maritime fortification that sits in its bay. Chateau de Taureau was constructed in the 1700s to defend against attacks by the English. Toda it serves as an upmarket sailing school. There is also a 19th Century viaduct built with the unusual pink granite that is found all along the coast north of cottages in Berrien.

At Saint-Pol-de-Leon, about 30 minutes from gites in Berrien, you’ll be able to visit a stunning gothic cathedral that towers over the town. The city of Brest is also well worth exploring. Here you’ll be able to see the medieval Tanguy Tower, which overlooks a portion of the city atop a motte. Outside Brest the coastline is typically stunning, with sandy beaches, tall granite cliffs and sheltered coves all about 40 minutes from Berrien self-catering villas. Further down the west coast on Brittany is the charming town of Quimper, which sits about 45 minutes away from Berrien holiday farmhouses. Here you’ll be able to explore old cobbled streets lined with medieval half-timbered buildings. The historic fortified walls are well preserved, and there is also a centuries-old cathedral here.
