Southern Brittany: One of the favorite tourist destination in France

Brittany, and its Morbihan Gulf, are well-known for its wild beaches everywhere, from the Island of Groix to Quiberon or Belle-Île. But there is much more to Brittany than its beaches: the region has a strong cultural life. Lorient Interceltic Festival celebrates the Celtic roots that still lives in Brittany with its traditions, music, dance and language. The local history stretches back even further with the ancient standing stones of Carnac or the medieval citadelles such as Vannes. A perfect crêpe, sweet and savoury, a glass of cider and a delicious seafood dish will convince the finest gourmets. The longer you will discover Brittany, the more there seem to be to discover! ___________________________________________________________ www.festival-interceltique.bzh Lorient Bretagne Sud Tourisme
