Take a pilgrimage to Brittany

Brittany has long been a popular haunt for UK tourists with its endless sandy beaches and traditional French food.

Investors looking to buy property to rent out to holidaymakers would do well to consider the region as a place to make their purchase - with rent almost guaranteed all year round.

The Grand Pardon de Sainte-Anne-La-Palud

Brittany is not just renowned for its beaches, however, with the region offering up hundreds of different activities for the UK visitor.

One of the most moving of these has to be the annual Grand Pardon de Sainte-Anne-La-Palud where 10,000 pilgrims head the western corner of Brittany for a huge outdoor mass.

Thousands celebrate life of St Anne


Held on the beach at the small fishing town of Plonevez-Porzayat, the religious day is one of the biggest in the whole of the region and celebrates the life of Mary the Virgin's mother, Sainte Anne.

For 80 years, pilgrims have travelled to the town from across France to attend the mass and then join a huge procession across the sand dunes where participants carry ancient Breton crosses and banners.
