Can anyone tell me about the places of interest in Bretagne, France?


I'm looking for anywhere that is a point of interest in Britagne. Any sites or info that are about this would be great. Thanks a lot

You will love St Malo, and the Mt St Michel (which is in Normandy but near Bretagne), in the North, walking trough the coast, seing Dinard and Dinin... I know a lot this part of Bretagne but not the centre and south.
You will find little harbor very nice, and you should go to a Fest'noz, a traditional party, and especially eat "crepes" and "galettes"...

You can go to France.com and then ask for Brittany, they have a lot of info, I would definitely go in the summer since there is a lot of nice scenery you would not enjoy it as much this time of year.

Many places of interest in Brittany. Check this site : http://www.travel-france-vacation.com/we...

Sorry but i don't speak english very well, so i must do a list in french :
-la presqu'卯le de Crozon
-les alignements de Carnac
-les Monts d'arr茅e
-la for锚t de Broceliande 脿 c么t茅 de Rennes
-St Malo
-Morlaix
-Quimper
-Huelgoat
-Pont-aven..
and if you want to feel the celtic spirit you MUST :=) come in Landerneau on the bridge inthe Keltia pub
Have a good trip

I'm new in Brittany (Bretagne), but here are some places of interest :
- Rennes, with its old medieval houses in the center.
- Vannes, a very old city too
- Quimper, in a similar style
- Quiberon "presqu'ile" and its wild coast (Cote sauvage) - it's a peninsula with western coast preserved from any buildings)
- Groix Island (Ile de Groix), a nice place to visit if you like cycling or going by foot
- the very West, and the "pointe du Van" and more famous "pointe du Raz", cliffs and rocky places, with very beautiful views to the Atlantic ocean
- Carnac, with its mysterious megalithic alignements (if you like stonehenge, except it's not aligned in a circle)
- any places with dolmens and menhirs :)
- Port Royal and its citadel (near Lorient), where boats going to Indian French possessions were starting.

Other places I didn't go for the moment, but are reputated :
- the islands of Belle-Ile, Houat, Hoedic, Sein and Ouessant
- the "foret de Paimpont", known as "Broc茅liande", where King Arthur, Viviane and Merlin were supposed to spend a long time in the Arthurian legend. Seems it's very nice
- Saint Malo, an old medieval city said to be very beautiful.

If you have some time, you can take a ferry from Saint Malo and visit the "Anglo-Normand" islands of Jersey and Guernesey (but it's not Brittany anymore, even not Breton culture).

Take some time to appreciate the local gastronomy : the pancakes and galettes made from "bl茅 noir" (i think it's buckwheat), the seafood, the "cidre" (alcohol made from apples), the music (if you're into celtic music) and culture (the Breton language is still alive, although it's more an identary language, not a native language now, except for old people).

La musique est aujourd'hui l'aspect le plus visible de la culture bretonne, gr芒ce au travail et 脿 la cr茅ativit茅 de musiciens se r茅clamant de la culture bretonne, 脿 la diversit茅 des festivals et au nombre de festo霉 noz. Mais la musique n'est qu'un aspect de cette culture.
