“The Celtic vibe isn’t just in the decoration or the bagpipes—it’s more of a feeling. The same feeling you get in Scotland or Ireland, or even in northern Spain; I can’t quite explain it.

Brittany is a region anchored by the call of the ocean. Many of the great ocean-going sailors are from, or live in, Brittany, and that oceanic, adventurous spirit is very present here. You may feel that this is a place to set off on an adventure across the seas—or just as easily, a place to look out to sea and watch for those returning. Add the sound of the waves, the seagulls, the smell of seaweed and salt in the air, and the ever-changeable weather, and you have the makings of paradise—at least for me!”

“It’s the epitome of what Brittany should look and feel like.”
