Brittany and Normandy:
These
two regions make up the northwest corner of France; they enjoy an
Atlantic climate, meaning that they are relatively mild in Summer, and
not too cold in winter, specifically in the coastal areas. Brittany and
Normandy are popular for
cycling
holidays, since they are easy to reach. For more
regional information, visit the
Brittany
and
Normandy
pages on About-France. com.
Most
campsites in France are only open for a limited season. Outside of this
period, reasonably cheap and convivial accommodation is available in
independent hotels
in
Brittany
or
Normandy,
or
bed
and breakfast
accommodation. For longer stays, an excellent solution offering great
value for money is to choose a gite or holiday cotttage. Check out
gites
in Brittany or
gites
in Normandy, since many gite owners offer highly discounted
rates outside the main summer holiday period.
