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.

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.

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.
