Vol. 14, No. 2 France
November / December 2008

Britany’s beautiful rugged coast, rushing emerald sea and classic white Breton cottages ensure visitors miles of breathtaking scenery and gorgeous panoramas. The region’s geographical position, jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean with the full force of the jet stream, gives it the strongest tides in Europe and some of the most extreme ocean tides in the world. Brittany suffered far less than the rest of France (and Europe) during World War II, leaving the majority of its medieval villages miraculously intact. The issue features the historic medieval villages of Vannes, Rochefort-en-Terre, Josselin, Quimper, Pont-Aven, Locronan and Concarneau, as well as the extraordinary prehistoric site at Carnac and the splendid Pointe du Raz. Which of the many historic country house hotels are best with regard to location, accommodation, service and setting? Which seaside restaurants offer the best seafood, setting and value? And which historic towns should definitely not be missed? We traveled to Brittany anonymously to find out! The issue also features great tips for navigating the region. Subscribers may also want to consider the issues on the Loire Castles, Normandy, Paris and Kent’s Castles & Gardens.
