Brittany is a unique region in France, with a strong cultural identity inherited from a very special past and background, a dynamic economy even though its cities remain of a manageable size, an incredible wealth of assets such as its coastline, islands, castles, ancient cities, woods, lakes, festivals, international links, exceptional food even by French standards, and above all a lifestyle that combines the French douceur de vivre and the specific values of the Breton community.
