Brittany - Keith Spence

This distinctive French region of Brittany has its own language and traditions and is famed for its coastal scenery and seafood. It also boasts a wealth of prehistoric monuments and its own style of ecclesiastical architecture, including the unique parish closes of Finistere. Many of its medieval towns are well preserved and some, such as St Malo, have impressive chateaux. This illustrated guide to Brittany is based around the towns of St Malo, Guingamp, Morlaix, Quimper, Vannes and Vitre, and covers its history and legends, food and drink, art, architecture and landscape.
