Cadogan Brittany

From dramatic headlands and precipitous coastal paths to mysterious neolithic ruins and old Nazi blockhouses, Brittany is a wild and exhilarating place to visit.

Our half-Breton author takes you on a lovingly described tour of the region, from its great cities and granite villages to its family resorts and isolated beaches. Details of local markets and festivals tempt you to participate in local life, while ancient Breton legends of drowned cities and saintly miracles keep you entertained en route. * More than 500 places to stay, from stately chateaux to intimate B&Bs * Over 300 eateries, from haute cuisine seafood restaurants to village creperies * Practical travel advice * 21 area and city maps, plus a 7-page color touring map section * A special section on the spell-binding Mont-St-Michel * Evocative color photographsBarbour, Philippe is the author of 'Cadogan Brittany ', published 2005 under ISBN 9781860111426 and ISBN 1860111424.
