Wherever you go in the region you will come across signs of its colourful past, be it the traditional local costume, the different dialects or the numerous ancient towns.

But whatever you think of the landscape and culture, few can refuse a seat at one of the area's many delectable restaurants serving up tasty French cuisine, particularly seafood and crepes.

Brittany's thalassotherapy centres

Its seaside location has long meant that Brittany has been a great place to relax and one of the best ways to do this is by getting a spa seawater treatment.

The famous French thalassotherapy was invented in the region which is said to ease away stress as well as offering healing and detoxifying properties.

Anyone hoping to lose a few pounds after tucking in to what the region has on offer in terms of food can also do so by getting a treatment.
