Brittany has long been a popular holiday destination, thanks to the longest coastline in Europe, fantastic food, and charming historic towns.
The Breton character ranges from the remote and isolated shores of the Crozon peninsula to the vibrant centres of Rennes and Nantes, but for the avid golfer, the most important factor will be the fine array of golf courses.
The travelling golfer can choose from quiet bases in the North, or head South for bars, restaurants and casinos, but heading out to the Breton peninsula for a golf holiday is entirely worthwhile.
