France is a super popular travel destination. It’s a big country with a huge variety between the different areas in terms of history, culture, and scenery. Brittany is a region in the northwest of the country with a distinct identity and atmosphere. There’s plenty of beautiful coastline, as well as the most picturesque towns you can imagine. Here are just three that would make ideal vacation destinations.

Perros-Guirec

This charming seaside town is located along the Pink Granite Coast which is a stunning area, with brilliantly blue water which surrounds the pale pink granite boulders and islands which are covered in luscious greenery. Perros-Guirec is the perfect place to access coastal walks or simply sit on the beach and enjoy the views, and the sweet town center is ideal for wandering around and soaking in the ambiance. 

Fougères

The new town area of Fougères is nice to walk through and has plenty of shops and restaurants. However, if you head up the hill to the old town then you’ll be transported back in time. The winding medieval streets with cobbled stones gradually lead to the old church and then to the huge old castle with its walls and ramparts to wander through. There are lovely parks in which you can rest and take in the lovely views. 

Pont-Scorff

Built along the river Scorff this sweet old town is the perfect balance of pretty buildings and streets with the beautiful nature and greenery around it. You can learn about the interesting history of the town and the area while wandering through, and there’s also an exciting art scene to discover.
