Brittany. This is a wonderful maritime region where you are never far from the coast and sandy beaches! Inland there are ancient forests, lakes, rivers and fabulous 'parcs naturel regional'. This region is rich with history and a great place for seafood! When in Brittany make sure you visit the stunning forest, lake and amazing rock-strewn water at Huelgoat, and make time for Pont Aven, home of the Synthesist group of painters grouped around Paul Gauguin in the 1880-90s. Carnac is a favourite for its amazing standing stones - all 1170 of them! No trip to Brittany is complete without visiting the Mont St Michel, it is magical and the guided tours are fascinating. Other highlights include La Baule, the Golfe du Morbihan, Menez-Hom and Crozon, Quimper, and much more.

 

Normandy. A favourite, with great cider and fabulous cheeses! Lots of lovely market towns and some of the most important horse studs in France. A favourite area is the Cherbourg peninsula, around St. Lo & Coutances - this area gives great access to lovely beaches, an easy drive to the Mont St Michel, not far from the ferry ports, with delightful small fields characteristic of the 'bocage' landscape. An essential trip is to the D-Day beaches.
