Top 10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Brittany, France
Brittany (/ˈbrɪtəni/; French: Bretagne [bʁətaɲ] ( listen); Breton: Breizh, pronounced [bʁɛjs] or [bʁɛχ]; Gallo: Bertaèyn, pronounced [bəʁtaɛɲ]) is a cultural region in the northwest of France, covering the western part of what was known as Armorica during the period of Roman occupation. It became an independent kingdom and then a duchy before being united with the Kingdom of France in 1532 as a province governed as if it were a separate nation under the crown.

A collection of works by primarily Western European painters.
Reviewed By jobo49
France has many excellent provincial art galleries - and this is one of the best. Permanent collection includes Pont Aven artists, Breton artists from 19th century and Sevres porcelain. The current exhibition of Dufy has a focus on his textile printing works (woodcuts on silk) - very enjoyable, even if you're not a fan of his paintings English commentary on some works via QR code on your smartphone - bring your headset Highly recommended

This medieval Gothic cathedral is perhaps the city's most prominent architectural landmark.
Reviewed By Morvoren - Truro, United Kingdom
This cathedral is quite rightly a National Monument. Admission is free. The Gothic architecture is amazing outside and in. The interior is light and spacious and the ambiance is relaxed. It is worth doing a little research before your visit to get the most out of it, especially if you don't speak French.

A wonderful vivid surprise, beautiful paintings from variety of painters. Nice “story behind” of Pont-Aven location and history. Short 30-40 minutes with lots of fascinating paintings. Worth a special trip to see it

St Malo is an incredible and charming city, very good for a stroll around and there is the Corsaire House to visit, the Fortress around the city to walk around and a ship to explore.
8. Maison dite de la duchesse Anne
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 88 reviews
The House known as ‘Duchess Anne’s House’ is a particularly well-preserved example of a lantern house, the lantern being the emblematic architectural principle of the town during the Renaissance. Visitors will find the house, with its covered interior courtyard sheltering a monumental fireplace and a spiral staircase of elaborately sculpted oak, which enables movement between the rooms in the front and rear of the house's three floors.
Reviewed By CarolienBAC - Leuven, Belgium
Really interesting visit to an architectural treasure built in 1530. This renaissance private house shows off the wealth of its owners and was literally built to impress visitors. The highlight of the architecture is no doubt the marvelous sculpted wooden staircase. The ticket is very cheap and a visit will cost you about half an hour to an hour. The friendly lady at the entrance was so kind to tell us more about the house and she pointed out lots of interesting details. Money well spent, if you ask me.

Come and discover the mysteries of the depths of the Brittany sea in our aquarium : conger eels, lobsters, rays and sharks, seahorses, etc. The Atlantic will surprise you! You can see over 150 species in 1,800m2, with giant tanks, a touch pool, a discovery zone, even a fish nursery, etc. Brittany's coast and ocean will keep none of their secrets from you. Wonder at our bird show. Within a beautiful park situated at the mouth of the Goyen river, birds are displayed flying freely, they may even skim over your head! This 45 minutes presentation is divided into four parts : birds local to the estuary, diurnal birds of prey, nocturnal birds of prey, and the Great Cormorant. (French spoken)

Good family trip ( 2 hours with a 3 year old) Mix of aquarium and birds. Bird show well worth seeing. Close up experience with some majestic birds. Well kept animals and exhibitions and friendly enthusiastic staff. Lots of features described in English as well as French although the bird show narrated in French wouldn’t affect overall understanding and experience if you weren’t fluent.
