You will be spoilt for choice when exploring the vast "Armorica Park", which covers an area from the Monts d'Arrée to the islands at the end of the world. But whether you opt for its extraordinary sea front with islands and high cliffs or the mysterious atmosphere of inland Brittany with its landscapes, moors, rocky crests and groves, the area will enchant you.
The Park's amenities pay tribute to the wealth of heritage and the character of this authentic land which is still abundant with otters, beavers and salmon.
