Brittany – A Land of Character by the Sea
Introduction
Tucked away in the far west of France, Brittany is a region full of charm, tradition, and natural beauty. With its dramatic coastline, lush countryside, and deep cultural roots, Brittany appeals to those looking for a more authentic, peaceful lifestyle. Whether you're seeking a permanent move, a holiday retreat, or a smart investment opportunity, Brittany has something to offer everyone.
Key Towns and Locations
- Rennes – The regional capital, known for its vibrant culture, excellent transport links, and thriving economy.
- Vannes – A picturesque, historic port town located on the Gulf of Morbihan, popular with both tourists and year-round residents.
- Quimper – The cultural heart of Cornouaille, famed for its faience pottery and charming Breton character.
- Saint-Malo – A stunning walled seaside city, perfect for holiday homes and seasonal rental investments.
- Brest – A major port and university city, with a strong maritime heritage and growing innovation sector.
- Charming villages – Dinard, Concarneau, Pont-Aven, Paimpol and many more offer quaint, postcard-worthy scenery and authentic Breton life.
Population and Culture
With around 3.3 million residents, Brittany remains one of the most culturally distinct regions in France. The Breton and Gallo languages are still spoken in parts of the region, and Celtic roots are proudly celebrated through music, festivals, and traditional dress.
Locals are friendly and welcoming, and life here moves at a gentler pace. Brittany is particularly popular with families, retirees, artists, and remote workers who are drawn by the quality of life, stunning landscapes, and strong sense of community.
Of course, the local cuisine is another major draw – fresh seafood, crêpes, galettes, cider, and the famous kouign-amann are regional staples.
Airports and Ferry Ports
Brittany is well connected to both the UK and other parts of Europe:
- Airports:
- Rennes – regular flights to London, Dublin, Barcelona, and major French cities
- Brest – flights to Lyon, Marseille, and UK destinations
- Lorient, Dinard, and Quimper – seasonal routes, including to the UK
- Ferry Ports:
- Saint-Malo – regular ferries to Portsmouth, Jersey and Guernsey
- Roscoff – connections to Plymouth and Cork
- Brest & Lorient – cruise and regional boat services
Top Attractions and Sights
- The Pink Granite Coast – stunning rock formations along the northern coast
- Carnac Stones – one of the world’s largest prehistoric megalithic sites
- Gulf of Morbihan – a sheltered inland sea with dozens of islands, ideal for sailing and kayaking
- Breton Islands – including Belle-Île-en-Mer, Bréhat and Ouessant, each with its own charm
- Brocéliande Forest – steeped in Arthurian legend and local folklore
- Traditional villages – such as Locronan, Rochefort-en-Terre, and Pont-Aven
Property in Brittany
Brittany offers an excellent range of real estate, often at more affordable prices than in other coastal regions of France:
- Traditional stone houses in the countryside
- Charming cottages and longères with rustic character
- Modern villas or renovated farmhouses with sea views
- City apartments in Rennes, Brest or Vannes
- Holiday homes and gîtes perfect for rental income
Whether you're dreaming of a tranquil life by the sea, a countryside escape, or a smart buy-to-let investment, Brittany is a region where your money can go further – without compromising on beauty, lifestyle or culture.
