French Travel news -2011. | Fun holidays in Finistère

If you want a truly unique French holiday next year, heading for the Brittany department of Finistère is sure to offer you something a little different.
The name means ‘End of the land’ in reference to its westernmost location and coastal characteristics but a visit there on holiday would hardly be the end of the world!

From energetic sporting breaks – watersports are fabulous in this corner of Brittany – to spa breaks or boating trips to one of the off-shore islands, there is lots of choice here.

As for cultural events, one magical festival that sums up the Breton spirit takes place in April. The Panoramas Festival in Morlaix does what it says on the tin – offering a huge range of musical genres to enjoy at live shows.

One of the key draws is the proximity to the UK via the Roscoff ferry port, while the huge range of campsites makes Finistère a perfect location for families looking out for their budget.
