The region Bretagne, located in the far west of France, is made up of 4 departments:Côtes-d’Armor, Finistère, Ille-et-Vilaine, and Morbihan.
It spans approximately 27,200 km², or 5% of the French territory. To give you a sense of scale, that’s almost the size of Albania!
Proud of its identity, Brittany blends Celtic tradition, wild coastlines, and pastoral landscapes.
From the megalithic alignments of Carnac to the cliffs of the Crozon Peninsula, through the narrow streets of Saint-Malo
and the islands of the Gulf of Morbihan, Brittany enchants travelers seeking nature, legends, and bracing sea air.
Map of the region Bretagne in France
Bretagne is a unique French region, marked by a strong cultural identity,majestic seascapes, and a rich historical heritage. Located at the far western tip of France, this wild peninsula attracts travelers in search of authenticity, unspoiled nature, and living traditions.
This is a region where the sea is ever-present: from the steep cliffs of the Pink Granite Coast to the sandy beaches of the Quiberon peninsula, and the islands of Belle-Île-en-Mer, Ouessant, and Bréhat. Hiking lovers won’t want to miss the legendary customs trail (GR34), which runs along the entire Breton coastline for more than 2,000 kilometers — a dream come true for those who love marine panoramas, wild coves, and revitalizing sea spray.

But Bretagne is not just about the sea. It also boasts a lush inland countryside, dotted with characterful villages, chapels, and sacred fountains, all bearing witness to a Celtic past still very much alive. The Carnac megaliths, the Arrée Mountains, the Brocéliande Forest… so many places that feed into Breton legends and the collective imagination.

Bretagne is also famous for its convivial gastronomy: buckwheat galettes, salted butter caramel crêpes, dry cider, seafood, kouign-amann… Here, every meal is an invitation to indulge. Many festivals like the Fest-Noz celebrate traditional music, Breton dances, and the joy of being together.
On the urban side, Brittany offers great variety: Rennes, dynamic and cultural; Quimper, elegant and floral; Vannes, fortified and charming; or Saint-Malo, facing the sea with its majestic ramparts and its privateer past. Each offers a unique experience, blending history, modernity, and the Breton way of life.
To discover Brittany is to embark on a road trip across France, punctuated by lighthouses perched on cliffs, colorful markets, passing showers, and spectacular spring tides. A region to experience intensely, to the rhythm of the tides, the seasons, and the sea shanties.
