La Channais, near St Malo, Côtes d'Armor

The Finistère and Côtes d'Armor (formerly Cotes du Nord) departments include the greater part of the Brittany coastline, and thus offer a large number of gites and holiday cottages, including many cottages within a very short distance of the seaside. For visitors looking for more isolated locations, inland Brittany remains decidedly rural. Finistère is Brittany's equivalent of Cornwall, the western tip of France pushing out into the Atlantic ocean; and indeed, the historic links between the two areas are illustrated by the fact that Brittany also has an area known as Cornouailles. Brittany is a very popular holiday destination; until the age of high-speed trains, it was particularly popular with Parisians, being somewhat closer to Paris than the French Riviera. In the last twenty years, it has become highly popular with people from all over northern France and northern Europe on account of its easy access, and is now the fourth most popular tourist region in France, and the most popular in northern France. The reasons that have made Britanny a popular tourist destination with Parisians for many years now make it particularly popular with visitors from Britain and Belgium. Large numbers of holiday cottages in Brittany have been bought up in the last twenty years by British purchasers looking for a holiday home in France, or just an escape from the pressures of life in southern England. This means that there are plenty of holiday cottages and gites in Britanny, and in particular in the Côtes d'Armor, with UK owners who accept payment in sterling and can provide help and local information in English. However, there are also plenty of holiday cottages in Brittany with French owners and caretakers. The directory in the right hand column offers a selection of attractive properties - some with UK owners who may accept payment in sterling, and offer booking procedures in English; others with French owners, who will perhaps give you just that little more feeling that you're in another country....
