Gite Holidays in Brittany
Brittany is France’s north western most region, and is a hilly beautiful peninsula extending out toward the Atlantic Ocean with the English channel to the top of the region. Often likened to Cornwall there are strong ties between the two regions. Corseul is an idyllic place to spend Gite Holidays in Brittany.
Its lengthy, rugged coastline is dotted with beach resorts such as chic Dinard and walled Saint-Malo, built on rock in the English Channel.
The Pink Granite Coast is famed for its unusual, blush-hued sand and rocks. Brittany is famous for its abundant prehistoric menhirs (a type of megalith), particularly in Carnac where the stones run the length of the towns outskirts.
There are many places to visit during a stay in Brittany, and our gite is perfectly places for many of them..... and if you don't mind a drive you can get to all the departments in Brittany easily.
The towns of Dinard and Dinan are well worth a visit and offer fantastic views of the coast and traditional Breton culture.
