In Morbihan, Finistère, Côtes d'Armor and Ille-et-Vilaine, Familytrip has the perfect accommodation for a weekend away with the kids, with plenty of activities on site or nearby. Let's get going!
A weekend at the beach in Brittany!
With almost 3,000 kilometres of coastline, Brittany is the French region with the longest coastline. Discover the typical little fishing ports, wild coves and towering cliffs that line the coastline. The Pointe du Raz, in Finistère, will offer you a magnificent panorama of the open sea, the nearby island of Sein, and even the Ar Men lighthouse if the sky is clear...
You can find on Familytrip all accommodation less than 100 metres from the beach, to spend a weekend in Brittany with your feet in the water! Stay at the residence Pierre & Vacances le Coteau et la Mer, for example, which boasts a heated indoor swimming pool overlooking the Bay of Douarnenez!
Discovering Celtic Brittany
The region, which was the territory of the Celts, has many remains from its Celtic past. You'll be able to admire some impressive megaliths, including the famous Carnac alignments, which contain almost 4,000 stones erected during the Neolithic period! The Val Quéven*** residence welcomes you just 40 minutes from the megalithic site, with indoor pool, jacuzzi and spa!
In the Breton hinterland, set off in the footsteps of Merlin the Enchanter! The Brocéliande forest will plunge you into the magical world of the Arthurian legend, but also into a verdant natural setting ideal for a family walk.
Saint-Malo for family holidays
Saint-Malo is one of Brittany's most visited towns. Surrounded by its famous ramparts, the historic town has an incomparable charm, with its narrow streets and numerous shops. The tides in Saint-Malo are among the highest in Europe, reaching heights of up to 14 metres! At low tide, the vast sandy beaches make for pleasant strolls around the town's forts. The Grand Aquarium de Saint-Malo, home to more than 10,000 underwater animals, is an ideal visit to make with children!
Le Cap Green, located 700 metres from the beach, will be ideal for visiting Saint-Malo with the family. Its sea-view rooms can accommodate up to 4 people.
Take advantage of your weekend in Brittany to sample the region's typical dishes. You'll delight in lemon crêpes, buckwheat pancakes, platters of seafood fresh from the sea, and delicious traditional desserts like far breton or kouign amann. Take home plenty of salted butter caramels to give to your nearest and dearest!
Salted butter caramels are a great way to treat your friends and family!
