Cottages and Gites in Brittany
With a plethora of peaceful coves and rocky headlands and a 1300 km footpath running behind long stretches of sand washed by some of the best surfing waves in France, holiday accommodation including bed and breakfasts in Brittany could put you within minutes of the longest and one of the most scenically outstanding coastlines of any region in the country. For anyone who yearns to spend at least two weeks of every year beside the sea, with guaranteed heat and sunshine all summer and so much natural beauty and recreational diversity on the doorstep of your cottage rental in Brittany, holiday accommodation in France anywhere else might struggle to offer such an idyllic solution to a vacation that would not only suit your personal requirements but also those of the rest of the family - including the dog! While many self catering holiday cottages and gites in Brittany are entirely pet friendly, they will also have just the same comforts and conveniences that you enjoy at home (and sometimes more!), and when they can be found in locations that are so rurally secluded and picturesque that you couldn't wish for a finer place to escape from your usual hectic daily routines, accommodation in Brittany is still one of the most popular choices for a home-from-home holiday experience where only the bits you want to forget about get left behind!
Gites and cottages in Brittany are often favoured by those who want to add as much traditional Gallic character and charm to their holiday as possible, particularly as this is a region renowned for its enduring love of ancient custom and deep respect for a cultural heritage whose historic celtic influences - mixed with patriotic pride - has meant that the Breton regional language is still very much alive and kicking in the towns and villages of every 'departement', from Ile-et-Vilaine in the east to Finistere in the west and from Cotes D'Armor in the north to Morbihan in the south. Holiday villas, gites and cottages in Brittany provide the perfect opportunity to sample a truly authentic slice of life in a part of France where agriculture is an important industry and gastronomy is just as integral to regional culture as the Breton language, and on a hot, sunny summer day, what better, and more appropriate, way to 'chill-out' than by enjoying a simple picnic of local cheese, ham and bread accompanied by a chilled glass of regional Muscadet or rustic cider. And even though you might like your holiday rental in Brittany so much that you don't want to go much further than your own private pool, there is so much lush, green countryside and so many stunning beaches to discover in every departement that you can enjoy a new and exciting experience every day, not to mention a range of outdoor activities that will appeal to the interests of everyone and are so kid and pet friendly that accommodation in Brittany has the potential to become your whole family's new favourite holiday solution.
