Typical villages and local flavours
A camping holiday in Brittany is also a chance to discover a rich culture rooted in its characterful villages. Stroll through Concarneau, a corsair town surrounded by ramparts, or visit Pont-Aven, known for its art galleries and buttery galettes. Continue on to Landerneau, Rennes, Roscoff or Dinan, with their medieval alleys and half-timbered houses.
Local markets bring regional flavours to your plate. Many towns host weekly markets: Saint-Malo on Tuesdays and Saturdays, Quimper on Wednesdays, Auray on Mondays. You’ll find fresh produce, local specialities, and a friendly atmosphere perfect for meeting locals.
Delight your taste buds with: – Buckwheat crêpes, best enjoyed with artisanal cider, – Salted butter caramel, a must-try Breton treat, – Kouign Amann, a rich and flaky traditional pastry, – Fresh seafood, caught that very morning, – And of course, local markets where you can buy directly from producers.
Fest-noz, legends and local crafts
During your camping holiday, immerse yourself in the rhythm of Brittany: take part in a fest-noz, watch traditional dances, and enjoy Celtic music with the sounds of the bombarde and biniou. These lively festivities animate summer evenings in many Breton villages.
Local crafts — pottery, textiles and Celtic jewellery — are proudly displayed in the streets of coastal towns.
Camping in Brittany is also a unique opportunity to meet passionate local producers and artists who carry on regional know-how. Between moorlands, cliffs, beaches and traditions, a camping holiday in Brittany is more than just a break — it's an immersion in a proud, welcoming and vibrant land. From the Côtes-d’Armor to Ille-et-Vilaine, from the Gulf of Morbihan to the Pink Granite Coast, every corner is full of treasures waiting to be discovered.
