All the charms and authenticity of rural Brittany and its rugged coastline

Brittany's jagged coastline shelters many fine resorts, where traditional seaside holidays can still be enjoyed on sandy beaches and peaceful headlands. At Pil-Koad, an authentically Breton welcome awaits you: one which ensures that everyone enjoys their time here in France's western-most province to the full.

This is a family-focussed park – with sunny pools, a mini-golf and enough sports tournaments and craft classes to keep the most energetic young traveller beaming from ear to ear. But, such is the easy-going nature of Pil-Koad that just a short stroll through flower-planted gardens will whisk you away from the hi-jinx and bring you to the grassy pitches and peaceful surroundings of the park's generously spaced residential plots.

Here, you don't have to let anything get in the way of your leisure time, a good book, and the gentle Breton sunshine. Plenty of time to relax before a sociable night in the park's Woodpecker pub or good value restaurant.  Close enough to home to enjoy a weekend escape amid ruggedly beautiful countryside, Pil-Koad is the ideal bolt-hole for a Breton holiday home.

They call the western fringes of Brittany 'Finistère' – the end of the Earth. Good road links and regional airports mean that, these days, it’s no longer remote but still this region feels wonderfully removed from the rest of the country. If you're looking for a touch of Celtic magic, you've come to the right place – as you'll discover when you wander around the tight little lanes of Quimper, the region's medieval capital, and home to a thriving Breton music scene. Concarneau's walled citadel is stunning – cross the drawbridge and enter another time and place.

You'll find wonderful seafood restaurants, bars serving crisp Breton cider and delicious pancakes, and you can climb the ramparts for invigorating views out along the dog-toothed Breton coast. Save time to explore the coast in more detail, and you'll find wave-tossed headlands such as Pointe du Millier (great for dramatic sunset photos) or lonely lighthouses such as Pointe du Raz. And if you are looking for Brittany’s maritime history, you’ll find it in the charming port of Douarnenez.

You'll be forgiven for feeling that this jagged coast looks more Cornish than French – the two regions share similar folklore too - a night of singing and dancing at a rousing 'Fest Noz' evening is very similar to a Ceilidh. For the more energetic, there are plenty of wind-surfing opportunities. Well, it would be a shame to waste all those invigorating Atlantic breezes!
