Brittany cottages: St Malo, Mont-St-Michel, Fougeres, Vitre, Dinard, Cancale & Dinan. Wild seas buffet its jagged coastline, reshaping the ancient granite. Whilst inland quiet villages and an abundance of eerie forests provide countryside not unlike Devon and Cornwall in the UK; but without the people. Tranquility personified! Brittany has the lowest per capita population in France, with two and a half times the land area of UK but a similar population; therefore Brittany is almost empty by comparison. On the north coast, St-Malo, an old pirates' town, with fine beaches and mixing centuries of architectural styles. Dinard, Queen of the Emerald Coast, is often compared favorably with Mediterranean resorts. To the east, Mont-St-Michel, though technically a few metres into Normandy, is a magnet for visitors. Castles such as Fougeres and Vitre testify to a once hostile relationship with the rest of France.
