Autumn in Brittany

The late season has lots to offer! An enhanced palette of colours. An inflamed granite coastline. A stroll in the forest as the leaves turn rusty red. Head to the now deserted islands bathed in watercolour lights. Autumn is perfect for playing golf in the morning mist, for a cosy weekend, or to head to the towns for shopping, exhibitions and festivals. The atmosphere in Brittany doesn’t skip a beat in the autumn!
