Mobile homes and mobile home holidays in Brittany - if you have a Brittany holiday website such as camping in Brittany and you would like to see it featured here then please email camp@campingmobilehomesholidays.co.uk

I'm sure and certain you know where Brittany is; it's just above the Vendee of course! Get off the boat at St Malo or Roscoff and you're there. I only mention that because of a programme I watched some time ago where there were some people ( a panel in a quiz game) who should have known much better, who thought that France was where Spain is! Seriously!

Just the same as it's slightly warmer next door neighbour the Vendee, mobile homes sprout like weeds in Brittany, and especially around the coastline. We have stayed in Brittany just twice so we aren't as expert on the region as we are other parts of France, but this page is not just about my feelings for the place; rather it is to help you decide if you should spend your holidays in any of the mobile homes there are on offer.

If you haven't travelled around France then this won't have struck you, but on our first visit there some years back we got the impression that Brittany seemed somehow older than other parts of France. Geologically that it a silly statement but it may be the rocky coastline, the standing stones etc which make it appear that way.

For a start, there are quite a few types of mobile homes, and on our first holiday in Brittany we made (I made) a boo boo and booked us into a site owned by French company on Quiberon. It was a two centre holiday with a week there and a week elsewhere spent in another type of mobile home entirely.

The town of Quiberon is delightful but the mobile homes we and others were staying in were as old as the hills, knackered and disappointing. Nevertheless the travel company, Homair, insisted on taking 110 Euros off us as a deposit against damage. I told the guy I wouldn't give him that for the ghastly thing. Anyway, we enjoyed the week there even though we thought Quiberon town, nice as it is was a tad expensive. The rest of Quiberon is a dump, but back on the mainland is a place called Carnac which is altogether lovely, and there are hundreds, possibly thousands of standing stones there which date back to who knows when. Well worth a visit if you're in the area.

The second week we moved on to another site though still with Homair. This time our mobile home was a "cottage" type, huge, brand spanking new, so new we took our shoes/flip flops off before entering. You see, I like to tell it how it is, good or bad.

One simply cannot talk about the whole of Brittany on a single page, and only briefly about the mobile homes there which the travel companies and private owners rent out, sorry but it just can't be done, but enjoy your stay there whatever.
