Brittany’s culture is deeply rooted in Celtic traditions. Music, dance, and the lively *fest-noz* celebrations are central to the region’s identity. While the Breton language is less commonly spoken today, it remains an important part of the area's heritage. Historic sites, including medieval castles and ancient megaliths, along with picturesque fishing villages, reflect Brittany’s rich history and give the region its unique charm.
Brittany boasts a rich culinary heritage with a delightful variety of traditional dishes. Among its most iconic specialties are galettes—savory buckwheat crêpes traditionally filled with ham, egg, cheese, or salmon. Sweet crêpes are just as cherished. Hearty regional favorites include cotriade, a fragrant fish stew, and kig-ha farz, a rustic meat and dumpling dish. No meal is complete without a glass of cidre, Brittany’s signature sparkling apple cider, crafted from crisp, tart apples. Combining tradition with bold flavors, Breton cuisine offers a truly unforgettable gastronomic experience.
I look forward to making your vacation dreams in Brittany come true!
