Another reason to go camping in Brittany is that the region is well known for its folklore and art of living.

Breton traditions and culture

Between the traditional outfits proudly worn by the Bigoudènes, the songs, the gastronomy and the Gwenn Ha Du, the famous black and white Breton flag, experience an immersion in the Celtic lands.

If you have the opportunity, attend a fest-noz (night party) or a fest-deiz (day party), Breton folklore festivals inspired by peasant society, where Breton dances are given pride of place.

Tales and legends of Brittany

Finally, Brittany knows how to tell its fairy tales and legends: Discover real myths at every turn of the road and let your imagination travel, between the singular rocks on the Pink Granite Coast, the mysterious alignments of megaliths of Carnac or those of Saint-Just, the mysterious origin of the Er Grah tumulus in Locmariaquer, the Korrigan, or the legend of King Arthur and the knights of the round table in the forest of Broceliande, perhaps still haunted by elves and druids from the old days...

 

To discover these mythical places choose one of the campsites in Brittany, or a campsite on the pink granite coast, a campsite in Carnac, a campsite near Locmariaquer. To explore the forest of Broceliande, choose a campsite near Paimpont.
