In Brittany the climate becomes milder, making its one thousand miles of beautifulcoastline, with reefs, islands, wide bays andsandy coves very appealing to lovers of allthings maritime. The warm climate and longsandy beaches of Vende´e make this wonderfulseaside destination, its lively fishing harbourshome to cafes and restaurants, serving delicious locally caught produce.

Fishermen further down the coast at CharenteMaritime, harvest mouth-watering oysters offbeautiful beaches, whilst inland brandy connoisseurs are well catered for at the Cognacdistilleries.
