What to do and see in Brittany, France: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks
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.

One of many beautiful capes or pointes in Bretagne. Very nice late at night, when you can be all alone, when there is still just enough light to enjoy it

Ok it's can be named as the edge of the world, breathtaking natural beauty...amazing place to visit. ***Attention **** though sun protection is absolutely necessary **** It is a walk in a one went path but there is no shadow at all there and there is some wind, we can say it's almost cold....and here is the tricky part, it doesnt feel at all like you need sun protection but if you dont want to end up with serious sun burns really cover you :) And enjoy the magic!

It was great to walk around an experience the atmosphere of the Chateau, and an excellent guidebook is provided (in French and English)) that explains the history and features of the building. The boat trip to get to the Chateau only adds to the experience. Great views also of the Baie de Morlaix from the tower.

Went to Morlaix twice during our recent stay in Carantec. Such a beautiful town with lovely shops and restaurants. What grabs your attention though, right from the moment you look around is the viaduct. Built in just 2 years (1861-1863) the top part is still used as a train line and the bottom is a pedestrian walkway which strides over the town. The steps are a bit of an effort but totally worth it and has to be done. Each archway has its own spotlight and I just wished I could've seen how they lit it up at night as I'm sure it would've been breathtaking. There is a lovely information board in the middle looking over the town centre with a lovely view at the Hotel de Ville opposite (another gorgeous building). There is even a little part of it giving you the details in English for those who's French isn't what it should be lol. If there are any drawbacks they are few. The side that I scaled the steps of there was no access for our pushchair meaning it had to stay at the bottom while we made the slow climb with 2 small children (who actually really enjoyed the steps and are still young enough to see steps as fun, rather than the soul-crushing pathway to misery they truly are!). The other drawback is that like all these things, the time needed to get everything out of the experience is short, so if you were making a trip especially for the viaduct then prepare for a short stop. On the plus side, Morlaix is truly lovely and well worth spending a diverting afternoon lounging around it's shops and cafe's. In conclusion, while the viaduct itself may not be worth going a long way out of your way for, the town of Morlaix with the viaduct and everything in it, really is!

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Vitre! We will have to return because we spent so much time walking through the medieval streets, along the wall, a stop for a crepe that we did not have time to tour that castle as we had planned initially. The views from the wall at the church and below were beautiful. The church seemed very large for such a small town. Loved the contrast of the modern and the old. We felt like we'd stepped back in time. Via the train, Vitre is every easy to get to from Rennes. Put it on your list!
