When planning a trip to Brittany, choosing where to stay can be hard ! This French region is filled with breathtaking landscapes, charming villages and captivating museums. Many Bretons and outside visitors consider southern Finistere to be the nicest part of Brittany. Here is why.
The most beautiful fishing ports
Southern Finistere is famous for its fishing culture. Each of its ports has its own charm and romantic scenery. In Lesconil, Le Guilvinec and Loctudy, the smallest traditional boats are anchored side by side with quaint pleasure sailboats, as well as modern fishing vessels. Fish markets and auctions are held several times a week.
If you are looking for the perfect accommodation facility, book your stay in a campsite. You can buy fresh seafood from a fisherman at a local landing point, and cook it on the barbecue grill with your friends and family.
Nature at its finest
The south coast of Finistere has always been a haven for bikers, hikers and wildlife photographers. Take a walk along the Breton shoreline, on one of its numerous trails, and admire a stunning view of the Atlantic Ocean.
Brittany campsites with waterparks are the ideal spots to stay with children. They offer amenities including paddling pools, indoor pools, heated pools, water slides and sunbathing areas ! Some of these family campgrounds are located just minutes from the Bigouden country’s most stunning beaches, south-facing bays and rocky coves.
A region steeped in culture and history
Quimper is the capital of Finistere. This city shelters many must-see sites, including a gothic cathedral with a set of magnificent stained-glass windows and two 75-meter towers. If you love art, devote a day to visiting Quimper’s departmental museum and its museum of fine arts.
Another picture-perfect town in Brittany is Concarneau. Take the time to stroll around its famous Ville close, an enclosed quarter with medieval ramparts and a timeless atmosphere. Be sure to make a detour to the chateau of Keriolet. This fairytale castle is open for visitors every summer.
Southern Finistere offers you the quintessence of Brittany’s cultural and natural heritage. At the crossroads of tradition and modernity, this region welcomes you for a memorable holiday with your loved ones. You will not regret choosing the Bigouden country for your escapade in France.
