2 nights at Eden Villages Cap de Bréhat

A superb site in an excellent location. The facilities were first rate and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Very eco conscious too which is spot on. Would definitely visit again.

Where to go

Emerald Coast

Stretching from Cap Frehel all the way to northern Brittany, the Emerald Coast is dotted with idyllic seaside towns, sandy beaches, and weathered sea cliffs. Aside from Dinard, Saint-Cast-le-Guildo, Cancale, and Saint-Malo are the main towns, where you’ll find a choice of campsites and holiday parks, while Lancieux is renowned for its water sports, and the magnificent island monastery of Mont-Saint Michel lies just over the border in Normandy.

Rance Valley

Dinard sits at the mouth of the Rance Estuary, where ferries and boat cruises set sail for Saint-Malo on the north shore or inland along the river. Head to the beach at Le Minihic-sur-Rance; taste Brittany’s famous cider, produced throughout the Rance Valley; or continue south to the mediaeval town of Dinan.

Chausey Islands

Brittany’s coastline is full of surprises, and the pint-sized Chausey Islands are the ideal spot to escape the crowds. Boat tours and charters will take you out around the 52 islands, where you’ll find hidden coves with deserted white-sand beaches and rocky cliffs swirling with gannets and cormorants.

When to go

Dinard is full to the brim with families, beachgoers, and campers through July and August, and advance bookings are highly recommended if you’re coming over the summer holidays. If you can, opt for a spring or autumn visit instead—Brittany’s mild climate means it’s possible to hike and explore the coast year-round. Or, if movie watching and celebrity spotting is more your thing, time your visit for the annual Dinard British Film Festival (October).
