| Seafood is a speciality of the region and can be found in almost all the small markets, or direct from the boats at the small harbours which abound. The weather is milder than you would find in the UK and temperatures are 5 or more degrees above those in the SW of England for example.
Whatever your culinary tastes Brittany can cater for them. |
