The Rough Guide Brittany & Normandy 8 (Rough Guide Travel Guides)

The Rough Guide Brittany & Normandy 8 (Rough Guide Travel Guides) INTRODUCTION

Of the many strongly individual regions of France, Brittany and Normandy rank among the most distinct. Each sustains its own proud identity, in terms of culture, peoples, landscape and history. A journey through the two regions enables you to experience much of the best that France has to offer: wild coast and sheltered white-sand beaches; sparse heathland and dense forests; medieval ports and relics of the prehistoric past; fine cities and museums; and, every bit as important, abundant seafood and (especially in Normandy) a compelling and exuberant cuisine.

Highlights in every area are detailed in the chapter introductions throughout this book. While step-by-step itineraries are not specified – much of the fun of exploring consists in rambling off on side roads – the text is structured as far as possible in continuous routes. If you read this before you decide how to travel, consider cycling; both provinces are ideal for cycle touring, with short distances between each town and the next. Otherwise, a car is probably the best alternative; public transport options tend to be very limited.
