Brittany Ferries says
Brittany is a region of immense natural beauty, with broad sandy beaches, wild national parks and a long craggy coastline. It’s a land rich in culture and tradition, from prehistoric monuments to walled medieval towns. And its people are rightly proud of their heritage and superb Breton cuisine.
Staying in a gîte allows you to immerse yourself in the French way of life, enjoying simple pleasures such as visits to markets, buying bread at the local boulangerie, cycle rides, days on the beach and picnics in the countryside. With local restaurants reasonably priced, Brittany is genuinely family-friendly.
Choose from more than 500 hand-picked cottages and gîtes in Brittany, ranging from secluded farmhouses to gorgeous seaside villas. All our gîtes are self-contained and fully equipped, and have been inspected to ensure they meet our high standards.
