Visit the medieval walled town of Vannes, home of the Ducs de Bretagne, and lose yourself in its enchanting alleyways, the bustling market town of Auray with the picturesque 17th Century port of St. Goustan, or the quaint medieval town of Josselin, famous for its riverside chateau with pepperpot towers. At Carnac you can experience the mystery of the largest site of standing stones in Western Europe, a marvel to rival Stonehenge, and then move along the coast to Trinite Sur Mer, the heart of Southern Brittany's sailing community where you can enjoy the atmosphere of the regular regattas, and the lovely choice of seafood restaurants.

The coast of Southern Brittany offers a superb choice of beaches with endless stretches of white sand or sheltered bays with rock pools. From the chic, fashionable Carnac Plage, to the unspoilt Erdeven and the wild surfing Cote Sauvage at Quiberon there is something for everyone. A full range of water sports are offered along the coast, such as sailing, wind surfing, para surfing, jet skiing and diving.
