Why go camping in Brittany? #climate

In Brittany, it rains all the time. In Brittany, it is cold. But is it really true? What if, on the contrary, a temperate climate is a good argument for your next camping holiday?

In the French imagination, Brittany is known to be particularly rainy. And cold.

However, this is far from being the case: thanks to its temperate oceanic climate, the temperature approaches 20 to 25°C on average in the afternoon in summer, particularly on the coasts of Morbihan and the Côtes d'Armor. So pleasant temperatures for a summer holiday.

In Brittany, it is much cooler than in the south

Of course, during your camping holiday in Brittany, you won't have a climate worthy of the tropics, but at least you won't be too hot: in this period where every summer has more or less long heat waves, the possibility of 'breathing' during your holiday is a real argument!

In recent years, many people have been fleeing the south of France to take refuge in the mildness of Brittany. This was without counting on the summer of 2022, when we experienced a "Mediterraneanisation" of Brittany, a weather that should remain exceptional.

Brittany, pleasant conditions for a wonderful camping holiday

Sunshine often plays with the clouds... Brittany's climate won't stop you from enjoying a wonderful summer camping holiday, whether you're by the beach, having fun at the swimming pool, or enjoying the peace and quiet of your campsite accommodation! Did you know? In Brittany, the water in water parks is usually heated, even for outdoor pools! Discover this for yourself at the Kerzerho****, La Plage**** or La Blanche Hermine*** campsites.

Finally, if some days are less sunny - or less warm - there are many campsites with indoor swimming pools in Brittany: so you can still enjoy swimming in these sheltered pools. Check out the Mané Guernehué***** or Les pins**** campsites, for example.
