The windswept and dramatic coastal region of Brittany in north-western France is ruggedly beautiful and full of picturesque medieval towns, prehistoric monuments, incredible beaches, museums, architectural gems, and a unique Breton culture and heritage. It is, however, most famously a scenic region where astounding views, fresh air, great walks, and endless outdoor pursuits await. The beauty of its coastline is its greatest boon by far and those who find a vacation rental in Brittany are likely coming to seek out the stunning surroundings and adventures that it affords. If you are a serious water baby or lover of the sea and want to learn even more about this important part of life in Brittany and the various fascinating creatures sustained by the ocean around Brittany and beyond, then we highly recommend setting aside some time to visit Océanopolis during your holiday in the region...

France boasts a landscape that is varied, lovely, and often rather dramatic and, for those who like to walk and hike, it is a perfect holiday destination. A vacation rental in Brittany, in particular, among all of the regions of France, is ideal if you want to blow away the cobwebs, stretch your legs, breathe in some fresh sea air, take in some incredible coastal views, and really enjoy the curative and therapeutic effects of stunning surroundings while on holiday. With a long and wild coastline dotted by dramatic cliffs and pretty beaches and impressive rock formations, it is a place that has no shortage of excellent hiking destinations but it is without a doubt that one of the most beautiful among them has to be the Cap de la Chèvre.

The Cap de la Chèvre is located in the west of Brittany, in the southernmost point of the Crozon peninsula. Facing the north side of Cap Sizun and closing off the Baie de Douarnenez, it is a picturesque part of the world with rocky cliff sides covered in heath, heather, and maritime pines, long beaches, and a wild and majestic appearance. This is further heightened by the charming little old fishing villages of stone-built houses that are clustered in the area and the wonderful panoramas out across the Baie de Douarnenez, the Pointe du Raz, and the various other capes and islands that are dotted along this part of the coast. The contrast between the Mediterranean-like eastern side of the peninsula and the wilder Atlantic nature of the western shore, is also extremely appealing and further heightens the interest and aesthetic value of a ramble through this especially striking and memorable part of the coast of Brittany. If you have found a villa in Brittany and are looking for the most scenic places to hike and explore, this gem of a destination surely tops any lists that you might find!
