Life in Brittany and its destiny will be everlastingly linked to the sea. A land of valiant seafarers, its contours sharply carved out by the waves, it derives its living from the sea and its produce. Away from the coast, the interior is not so well-known, with its scattering of picturesque little towns in a protected natural setting. Rugged in places, often difficult of access, Brittany, like its inhabitants, reveals a treasure of beauty and hospitality once you get to know it.
