Brittany Gite

Sunny and warm aren't words naturally associated with Brittany but you may strike lucky! In that case you need to head for Southern Brittany (56 Morbihan). Pretty villages include Rochefort en Terre and La Gacilly. Vannes is a lovely town with plenty to see and do. Brittany has a market in every town. I can send you a few suggestions.

A quiet area, but with facilities. Walk into town. Not beach people. Cultural activities appreciated. Sunny and warm!
Prefer cooking at home, with the exception of moules{!}
Thanks for suggestions.

We also live in Dorset and often holiday in Brittany. Brittany Ferries do very reasonable ferry + gite deals, sailing from Poole (or Portsmouth) to either Cherbourg or Caen, which makes it all really easy.

Bonjour from another person (a gite owner) who lived in France .... Brittany! It is a huge region, each department has a character of its own. Do you prefer country, coast, town?
