Land of traditions and gastronomy
Brittany asserts its traditions in its legends and habits. Its history is engraved in the stone of it monuments, of its houses and villages, of its castles or calvaries that are scattered all over the landscape. Its traditions express themselves in festivals and shows where traditional costumes are displayed at the sound of breton music or in the restaurants and "creperies" where you can savour specialities of the country (crepes, cider, oysters...)
Between moor and mountains
The "monts d'Arrée", group of rocky crests that reach its highest point at 384 meters, divides North and South Finistere.
