The Bretons invite the Canadians<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Among other things, Brittany is renowned as the region where giants are made. Do you know it? These are the creations of the Royal de Luxe<\/a> company. The company creates magnificent giant puppets that walk through city streets. They came to Montreal in 2017 with their many lilliputians, the friendly little giantess and her uncle, the scuba diver, an 11-meter colossus. Do you remember?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also the home of Asterix the Gaul<\/a>, whose fictional village was inspired, according to specialists, by the extreme tip of the Breton peninsula, called Finist\u00e8re<\/a>. There are more than 550 megalithic sites in Brittany. Menhirs and dolmens that must have inspired our friend Obelix. Finally, have you ever heard of Quimper’s earthenware<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Brittany in 2021 is much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As tourist activities are about to start again in summer of 2021, the Bretons are taking advantage of it to fine-tune their invitation. They are already proud, and rightly so, of the many seaside resorts that line their peninsula between the Atlantic and the English Channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are also proud of their cycle path: the V\u00e9loMaritime<\/a> which stretches for almost 1,500 km from the Channel to the North Sea, stopping at the Belgian border. And then, all those water activities they can boast about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But now they want us to discover hidden treasures<\/strong>; historical and contemporary, artistic and gastronomic, architectural and natural heritage. Secret beaches, canals and islands, architectural legacies, good addresses, nestled in an abundance of nature, all along a route<\/a> that allows you to soak up the local culture.<\/p>\n\n\n
