The Morbihan Region
Morbihan itself has many interesting places to explore, from the pretty villages and towns to the rugged coastline. This coastline not only lends beauty to the region, but also provides the rich variety of seafood that is so abundant. Brittany is celebrated for its shellfish, particularly oysters and mussels.
Following on the theme of food, this area is one of the principle areas of gastronomy in France, with several very reasonably priced Michelin star quality restaurants around (look up "tables et saveurs de Bretagne").
The area also has many pieces of evidence of the medieval inhabitants that settled there centuries ago. Particularly interesting in this regard are the Megaliths at Carnac and the Parc de Préhistoire de Bretagne.
Of the pretty villages and towns, one of the loveliest is the town of Vannes, which was founded by the Romans in the first century AD. This beautiful place boasts cobbled streets, markets, sophisticated shops, cafes and restaurants. Not far away are the beaches, ferries and bird watching areas round the Gulf of Morbihan.
