Brittany, who said bad weather? There are places where winter, rain, cold or wind do not detract from their appeal. This is the case of the beautiful French coast of Brittany. At this time you will be able to observe the phenomenon of great tides in the town of Dinard, a natural viewpoint on steep cliffs; on the island of Ouessant, when the sun sets, the guardians of the sea appear. You will recognize them by the twinkling lights of more than 15 lighthouses and beacons that dot the dangerous Iroise Sea. In winter you can feast on oysters at Cancale, famous for its quality, or for beer at Landrévarzec.
