Cheap flights to Brittany

Rugged cliffs, mysterious menhirs, delicious crêpes and a rich Celtic culture: that's Brittany! With flights to Brittany, you'll discover the wildest stretch of French coastline. From the pink granite rocks to the tidal island of Mont Saint-Michel — Brittany is a destination that will enchant you.

The Brittany Region

Brittany, or Bretagne as the French call it, is a peninsula in north-western France that embraces the Atlantic Ocean and the English Channel. It's a region with a strong identity, rooted in Celtic traditions. The Breton language (Brezhoneg) is still spoken, and the flag with black ermines flies everywhere.

The coastline of Brittany is breathtaking. The Côte de Granit Rose on the north coast surprises with its surreal pink rock formations, worn into strange shapes by wind and seawater. The Golfe du Morbihan ('Small Sea' in Breton) is an inland sea with more than 40 islets — a paradise for sailors and nature lovers.

The capital Rennes combines a rich historical heritage with a vibrant student life. The Porte Mordelaise and the Parlement de Bretagne are impressive sights. But it's the Mont Saint-Michel that made Brittany famous. This tidal island with its spectacular abbey is one of the most visited attractions in France.

Taste typical Breton specialties: crêpes and galettes (buckwheat pancakes), fresh seafood, cidre (cider) and the famous beurre salé (salted butter). Book your flights to Brittany at CheapTickets.nl!
