Somewhere Far from the Tour Eiffel ????

 If you are on a long trip to France or you live in Paris  and want to go on a gateway far from the condescend and crowded touristic places like the heart of Paris, Champs Elysee's , Tour Eiffel, Mont Mart and many other places .... You should head to Brittany " Bretagne " in french , in the North West of France

The historical province of Brittany is divided into five departments: Finistère in the west, Cotes-D'Armor in the north, Ille-et-Villaine in the north east, the loire-Atlantique in the south east and Morbihan in the south Bay of Biscay .
Where we went couple of weeks ago to see a bit of Sun and the sea in a small village called Arzon .After 5 hours drive we finally reached to a charming place, Stunning natural landscapes, far from the madding crowd it was us and the  nature...
Feeling the wind, observing the birds and walking on the shoreline....in our case was relaxing .

but here is a list of the things that you can do over there 
There is a wide  range of activities and things to do while visiting, also it depends on the mood and the reason of the visit and the season .
