Explora la cultura de Brittany: Tradición viva
Sumérgete en la rica historia y cultura de Brittany a través de sus museos y monumentos.
Brittany is a land of legends, with a fierce character and a deep bond with the sea. This peninsula in the far west of France has a unique cultural identity, with its own language (Breton) and Celtic traditions. Its landscape is a constant contrast between the rugged and wild coast (Armor, the 'land of the sea') and the green and mystical interior (Argoat, the 'land of the forests'), dotted with medieval stone villages and legendary forests such as Brocéliande, home of King Arthur and the wizard Merlin. It is a destination for lovers of nature, history and good food, where every lighthouse, every cliff and every fishing port tells a story.

Aviso de Viaje
The weather in Brittany is very changeable; It is possible to experience 'all four seasons in one day', so always wear warm, waterproof clothing. Be very careful with the tides, which are among the strongest in the world, especially in the Saint-Malo and Mont Saint-Michel area. In summer, book accommodation and activities well in advance, as it is a very popular destination.
