Brittany juts out between the Channel and the Atlantic, from the ramparts of Saint-Malo to the beaches of southern Finistère. The sea stays cool even in high summer and the weather changes quickly. It's a land of thalassotherapy: many hotels have a heated seawater pool, and lots of gîtes have an indoor pool. The selection brings these places together, from the Gulf of Morbihan to the Pink Granite Coast. I've selected 88 places, all rated at least 8/10; the top-rated is La Douce Escapade (4.99/5).
Each city has its own selection, with a page for each type of accommodation.
Places are ranked from highest to lowest rated. The yellow bubble shows the advertised water temperature, when it's known.
