Beautiful Brittany - it's not just the food!


Brittany is not only famous for its gastronomy. Yes most people place a high value on the top quality food products available in the restaurants and food markets of Brittany. After all, Brittany is the garden of France. Not just for pork, beef, lamb but vegetables including all the basics - potatoes, carrots, cauliflowers and greens but artichokes, onions and garlic too! Brittany supplies most of the seafood consumed in France including oysters, mussels, scallops and lobsters. The fish market too is exceptional supplying the bulk of sea bass, monk fish, turbot, mackerel and cod. How can a place supplying such phenomenal foodstuffs also be so beautiful?  We just need truffles to make the place perfect! I hear they are on the way thanks to global warming!

Here is a short video of some of the beautiful sights which await you in Brittany (or Breizh) as the country is called in its Celtic language.
