Brittany and Normandy
The rugged coastline of Brittany allows independent visitors who don’t want to spend hours on the road the pleasure of enjoying soft sandy beaches and quiet little fishing villages. Sand yachting and windsurfing are two of the popular sports that can be experienced on the sweeping coastline of Brittany. For lovers of scuba diving there are many rocky coves providing a deluge of discovery.
Although Normandy is famous for the windswept beaches of the D-day landings, boating and water sports are available as the region enjoys a temperate climate and is easily accessible to the visitor. The only invasion these days is from an army of shoppers heading for the hypermarkets of Cherbourg!
