The 10 Best Free Things to do in Brittany, France
Brittany (/ˈbrɪtəni/; French: Bretagne [bʁətaɲ] ( listen); Breton: Breizh, pronounced [bʁɛjs] or [bʁɛχ]; Gallo: Bertaèyn, pronounced [bəʁtaɛɲ]) is a cultural region in the northwest of France, covering the western part of what was known as Armorica during the period of Roman occupation. It became an independent kingdom and then a duchy before being united with the Kingdom of France in 1532 as a province governed as if it were a separate nation under the crown.

Opened in 1907, Sentier des Douaniers is the ideal way to discover Ploumanac ' H and its impressive rock-sculpted cliffs of nature. Book half a day on foot to go on this circuit, considered one of the major natural sites of the region. At sundown, the pink granite seems to be on fire.

Incredibly beautiful, whatever the weather. With children, Perros-Guirec is the best place I ever visited to spend healthy holidays, to reconnect with nature, in a breathtaking environment. Everyone will find ones pleasure, revitalizing baths in the sea at beautiful sandy beaches, sailing (with dolphins possibly!), fishing, walking, surfing, visiting 16th century chapels, playing golf at St Samson golf course, enjoying fantastic restaurants with sea view, and many more things. If you are tired of crowded beaches of Southern France and prefer the family simplicity and discretion of Brittany, do not hesitate anymore. If you are lucky enough and can rent a Villa "Belle Epoque" (20') for you and your family or friends, go for it, they are just stunning with their pink granite stone and sea view.
4. Cathedrale Saint-Corentin

This medieval Gothic cathedral is perhaps the city's most prominent architectural landmark.
Reviewed By Morvoren - Truro, United Kingdom
This cathedral is quite rightly a National Monument. Admission is free. The Gothic architecture is amazing outside and in. The interior is light and spacious and the ambiance is relaxed. It is worth doing a little research before your visit to get the most out of it, especially if you don't speak French.

We stopped in Rennes on our way to Mont St-Michel. We're so glad we did. Not only did we find this compact town walkable and friendly, but we were pleased to discover its wonderful garden. It was worthy of a couple of hours, even on a brisk, showery day. Set in the site of an old quarry, it rich with water features amid old-growth plantings, with woodsy paths connecting the lower levels to the more formal gardens above. Though it was late in the season, the formal, flowering gardens were still rich with colorful blooms. In the middle of the park, we came upon the lovely aviary and its contributions of amazing colors. Parc du Thabor is a garden worth detouring to visit.

Incredible view on two different sides, could even see the Mont Saint Michel that day. Worth the detour!! Quite easy to find a parking spot and fairly walkable paths throughout the Pointe du Grouin.
9. Remparts de Vannes

Reviewed By bonjgb1009 - Poole, United Kingdom
While we were in Vannes we couldn’t park at the Halles des Lices and being one-way the only way out was through the narrow Porte de Poterne and across the even narrower bridge to the main road. Wonderful. Not only was there cheap parking on the Rue Francis Decker but we were suddenly looking at the magnificent ramparts of the city and the ramparts gardens. The ramparts are immense and leave you a little in awe especially trying to visualise what they were like in their heyday. A fraction of the original is still intact and consist of a large section of the battlement walls, two magnificent towers, four arched entrances (portes) and the Chateau de l’Hermine. It is a must to walk the length of the walls and take in the views of the gardens and the town. They act a great viewing platform for photographs. Definitely recommended.
