Motorhome hire in Brittany

5 reasons to hire a motorhome in Brittany

#1 The call of the ocean

One coastline, a thousand worlds. Unlike migratory birds that cross the region in a flap (they clearly haven’t understood how to enjoy life…), your campervan hire in Brittany allows for gentle immersion. Côtes-d’Armor, Morbihan and Finistère share almost the entire Breton coastline. Bordered by three seas and oceans, the shores display every shade of blue.
Looking for Caribbean-coloured waters? Head to Roscoff, Nevez, Ploemeur or Binic.
A chic seaside ambience? Enjoy an ice cream on Dinard’s Clair de Lune promenade.
Storm-beaten cliffs? Aim for the Kerroc’h coast, Cap Fréhel or the Raz de Sein.
And if you want an escape between sea and nature, don’t miss the Crozon peninsula or the Quiberon peninsula — two Breton gems easily accessible with your hired motorhome.

#2 Watersports in Brittany

Whether you feel at home inside Atlantic barrels or struggle to stand upright on a calm lake, Brittany gets you into the water. Thanks to the smart spaces inside your motorhome hire in Brittany, load your surf, kite, wingfoil or stand-up paddle boards and head for the region’s best watersport spots.

Where to surf in Brittany?

• La Torche (Finistère), for experienced surfers
• Guidel (Morbihan), officially labelled as a surf town
• Baie des Trépassés, surprisingly calm despite its name
• Trestraou Bay (Côtes-d’Armor), perfect for beginners

For lovers of other watersports, a campervan hire in Morbihan is ideal for discovering the region differently: kayaking around Île-aux-Moines, paddleboarding in Quiberon Bay or enjoying a sailing trip in the Gulf of Morbihan.

#3 Explore Brittany off the beaten track

As with many destinations, some remote beaches and iconic sites can only be reached on foot or by bike. With a heavy heart, leave your motorhome for a few hours (after a gentle pat on the bonnet) to follow the Customs Path or the Vélodyssée cycling route from Roscoff to Nantes.
Often, it only takes a few minutes to immerse yourself in the hidden, tranquil side of Brittany. A secondary road between two hedges, a tip overheard at a market, a small weathered “plage” sign — trust your instincts.

#4 Wander through Brittany’s most beautiful villages

Between scenic roads, stop in Breton villages. In the low season, they are warm refuges in bad weather. A glass of cider or chouchen (not too much if you’re driving!) in a traditional bar and a few stories shared with locals are enough to enrich your road trip.

Locronan is film-worthy all year round. In Rochefort-en-Terre (Morbihan), wrought-iron balconies bloom with flowers. In Le Faou (Finistère), small boats float quietly. In Ille-et-Vilaine, on the banks of the Rance, Saint-Suliac offers a wonderfully authentic maritime atmosphere.

We’d love to reveal all of Brittany’s hidden gems… but the Bretons might curse us for generations. The best way is still to get lost and find them yourself.

#5 Immerse yourself in Breton folklore

You’ll quickly notice from the road signs that Brittany celebrates its uniqueness. While it will take more than one trip to decode Celtic language, you can already discover its local customs. With a bit of luck, you might attend a bagad rehearsal on a village square. More likely, you’ll hear bombardes, binious, Celtic harps and other traditional instruments during a fest-noz, whether in a village hall or on a grassy field.
If you prefer silence to music, head for the Brocéliande Forest where the unexpected appears at every bend.
