Brittany feels like a different side of France altogether. Here, medieval towns meet a wild Atlantic coastline, tides completely transform the landscape within hours, and some of the prettiest places are hidden at the end of winding coastal roads.

I spent some time road-tripping across Brittany, from the fortified streets of Saint-Malo and the half-timbered houses of Dinan to the enormous pink boulders of the Côte de Granit Rose and the turquoise coves of Belle-Île-en-Mer.

Along the way, I found tiny harbours, walked coastal paths above the sea, ate more crêpes and kouign-amann than I’d like to admit, and discovered places I’d happily cross France to see again.

This is where I share my Brittany itineraries, practical travel tips, favourite stops, and the places that genuinely surprised me.
