Trip Advisor

Each step you take and each word you exchange feel like a thread weaving you into the soul of the place. Let Brittany well and truly in. Come as a tourist, leave as a Breton.

Just across the Channel lies a place where travel slows down and every journey feels more meaningful. Arrive in historic Saint-Malo, wander the medieval streets of Rennes, and continue south to the creative, riverside city of Nantes. Along the way you’ll discover vibrant markets, centuries of history, bold cuisine and a culture shaped by independence and imagination.

Your Brittany adventure begins the moment you board Brittany Ferries’ newest ship, Saint-Malo, powered by cutting‑edge hybrid-LNG technology. Forget the airport hassle — pack the boot, drive aboard and sail straight to Brittany.

Rennes basks in a buzzing yet easy-going atmosphere, appealing to the heart and the mind with a leisurely welcome and plenty of surprises in store. Along its cobbled streets you’ll love its lively café terraces, Art Deco architecture, friendly restaurants, local markets, festivals and designer boutiques. Take your time, and live like the locals do!

Although it is now the administrative centre of the Pays-de-la-Loire, Nantes was the capital of Brittany for hundreds of years. Start at the impressive Château des ducs de Bretagne before wandering through the medieval old town then take a ride on a mechanical elephant on the Île de Nantes. Follow the ‘green line ’! Stay curious, explore deeply.
