May to September is the best time to visit Brittany. The season is warm, but it is always recommended to bring warm layers and a rain jacket as the weather in Brittany can be full of surprises.
Whats is the walking level in Brittany ?
The hike is of easy to moderate level. We walk on long-distance footpaths along the coast, with a slight elevation gain that can range from 200 to 400 metres at most.
Do you offer hikes on the "Sentier des Douaniers": Customs Officers’ Path ?
Our itineraries naturally follow the Customs Officers’ Path, which runs along the Breton coastline for 1,700 kilometres. We retrace the steps of the customs officers who, until the early 20th century, patrolled the trail in search of smugglers.
Is Brittany a paradise for birdwatching ?
Brittany is renowned for its exceptional birdlife and its colonies of migratory birds. Off the coast of Perros‑Guirec, on the Sept-Îles archipelago, lies France’s largest bird reserve: puffins, northern gannets, crested cormorants, and little auks.
