Route 3
Explore the Brittany province
Did you know that Brittany is France’s second most popular destination after the Côte d’Azur? Brittany comes across as cool, unspoilt and a bit rugged. But that’s precisely why we love it. If you like the sea, the 2500 km coastline in the northwest of France is the place to be, with a view of the turquoise water almost always guaranteed, as well as fresh oysters, mussels and Breton galette with a sip of cider.
1. Rennes
The capital of Brittany attracts visitors with its young and fresh flair and traditional façades provided by the old town’s crooked half-timbered houses.
The streets Rue Saint-Sauveur, Rue de la Psalette, Rue Saint-Yves and Rue des Dames are particularly special.
2. Malo
We are heading for the coast with the camper, the “Côte d’Emeraude” (Emerald Coast); here, you will find the town of Saint-Malo. Take a walk along the massive fortress walls washed by the water and enjoy the best view of the old town, the sea and the harbour.
3. Cap Fréhel & Cancale
Lighthouses, cliffs and wild coasts make Brittany what it is. At Cap Fréhel, you’ll find it all. On the way to the Cap, you’ll come across the oyster capital of France – Cancale. There are plenty of places serving seafood, beurre salé and white wine. Nowhere tastes better than on the coast with a fresh breeze.
4. Plage de Trestrignel
The rocks glow in shades of red and orange, which has given the coast its name. You can hike along the coast along the GR34 coastal hiking trail, which incidentally goes around the entire Breton coast. The beach in Trestrignel is not only beautiful and extensive but also offers many activities such as a catamaran or SUP.
5. Île de Batz
From Roscoff, you can paddle to the idyllic Atlantic island on a guided kayak tour. Alternatively, there is a ferry that you can take your bike on. Don’t forget your swimsuit if the weather is nice, because the island with Caribbean flair offers 20 fine sandy beaches and is the ideal place for swimming and kayaking.
5. Crozon
The Crozon peninsula juts far into the sea like a giant cross. The impressive capes and cliffs of Crozon give you a true Brittany feeling: “Pointe de Penhir”, “Pointe de Dinan”, but also the “Pointe des Espagnols” and the “Cap de la Chèvre” entice you with unique views. When you drive through France with your motorhome, you can choose small and picturesque country roads or fast motorways. From Roscoff, it is worth taking the coastal road to Crozon. If you have less time, you can take the direct route.
