Brittany (Bretagne), is located on the north western tip of France and is surrounded on three sides by a long (1110km) and varied coastline. There are rugged cliffs dotted with lighthouses, wide estuaries, islands and islets where bird life is protected, and picturesque harbors with strong maritime traditions. The climate is mild because of the Gulf Stream and many white sandy beaches and pretty coves make for wonderful swimming, wind surfing and scuba diving. The coastal area around Vannes has as much sunshine (in terms of number of days per year) as Toulouse in the south of France. Sailing in the bay of Morbihan round its many islands is only a 40 minute drive from Guemene Sur Scorff.

Brittany prides itself on a distinctly different identity from the rest of France. Bretons have their own ancient traditions, language, customs, cathedrals and huge Celtic festivals: the region only officially became part of France in the 1500s. Brittany actually maintained its independence until the 16th century, and retained its own parliament up till the French Revolution. Brittany is the major site for megaliths in Europe and possibly the world. Most of the megaliths (dolmens, tumulus, and menhirs) were constructed between 4500 and 200 BC. With almost 3000 standing stones spread over several sites, there is much to be explored. It is often described as a land of myths and legends and inland Brittany also has 600 kilometers of canals and rivers with over 350 kilometers of cycle paths to explore.
