Self drive holidays in Brittany. If you would like your camping and mobile home holiday website featured here please email camp@campingmobilehomesholidays.co.uk For your safety whilst driving abroad please have a glance at our page about European driving laws. There is a link in there to the AA where most of the information comes from, plus a few snippets of our own. We also have some informative pages for self drive holiday makers: good holiday tips, and a good holiday guide, both of which we hope you will find useful.
Brittany is a super place and luckily for us it is one of the most accessible parts of France. This means that self drive holidays to Brittany are a breeze, which is all the better if you have a car full of youngsters all eager to start their holiday before you get there!
Brittany has always seemed to have some affinity with Cornwall, and the belief if that our two countries were once joined there at some stage back in times past. The area offers so much history but for my money the standing stones near Carnac take some beating. The link takes you to a site which tells all about them. As well as the stones you will be amazed at the amount of history which Brittany contains, though Bretons to this day are still not fans of Napoleon after all he and his armies did to the area.
So, should you self drive, fly or go with a coach tour? Briefly, if you take your own car you have few luggage restrictions if any, and you are in total control of your holiday to go where and when you wish.
Starting your self drive holiday in Brittany means a ferry crossing, and you have as much if not more choice to get there as you have for any other part of France, indeed, any of the French ports such as Le Havre, Caen, Cherbourg, St Malo or Roscoff will serve your purpose well enough but personally I prefer St Malo because you can still get duty frees on that crossing and nowhere in Brittany is too far away from it.
When you arrive, be you camping or staying in a mobile home, you will most probably be located somewhere near a beach or lake where swimming and sunbathing can de-stress you. If you haven't already booked your self drive holiday to Brittany it is well worth a look at Joli Holidays who are based in Benodet and Quimper (pronounced Kemper) with well equipped 6 and 8 berth mobile homes for hire on large, quiet plots. Click the link and give Sandra a call.
For foodies: If you are lucky enough, as we are in Chesterfield, to have a Breton Farmers Market a couple of times a year you will already know about the fabulous sausages which are unique to the area. I think they must cook them in a special sauce because I can never make them taste half as good as they are when bought in the market or in a restaurant in Brittany.
