Crepes 5 stars
When in Brittany you have to try the Crepes. Nowadays, these specific pancakes are popular food all over the world, and usually people think their country of origin is France, but actually it is Bretagne. Everywhere in Bretagne even in the small villages there are several Creperies, where you can buy cheap and especially delicious crepes, as well as different kinds of jam or spices that go very well with it. And the crepes in Brittany are very different from the ones around the world – they are somehow larger and thinner and much more aromatic. Trying them is really worthy.

Gastronomy and the town of Quimper 4 stars
1 of 1 people found this review helpful
. We rented a little flat and were able to shop at the local fish market for delicious fresh seafood which we cooked up in large quantities. We also ate copious numbers of crepes, the local specialty after all, and then worked them off by riding our bikes up hill and down dale. A very nice surprise was the city of Quimper which has a well preserved renaissance centre, complete with wooden-beamed houses which in England would be called Tudor but whose title here has eluded me.

Everywhere we go we are amazed by what a spectacular country France is, and by how varied the landscape is, which almost completely makes up for how infuriating the people can be sometimes!

Douarnenez and Ile de Sein 4 stars
1 of 1 people found this review helpful
we decided it was time to make a concerted effort to see the opposite end of the country as well, so we hired a car and drove ourselves over to Brittany, quite a long haul by French standards but definitely worth 2 days in the car each way. We concentrated on a smallish area called Finisterre, and stayed in a lovely fishing port called Douarnenez. We were outlandishly fortunate with the weather, especially for the day we decided to take a boat to a tiny remote island called Ile de Sein, from whence apparently a quarter of the French resistance fighters left for England in June 1940.
