Brittany's coastline has 3,000 km of sea frontage - a lifetime's worth of walking along the tops of spectacular and seemingly endless cliffs; around remote rocky headlands and peninsulas jutting out into the Atlantic; and across innumerable white sand beaches which would not be out of place on a Caribbean island. With so much coast on offer, it is understandable that Brittany, and its people, have a strong connection with the sea: evidenced by the countless yachts, fishing boats and other watercraft which are moored in the ports, harbours, bays and estuaries. The coast of Brittany is vast. So vast that it is not possible to see everything on a single trip. So vast, in fact, that it is difficult to know where to start and that is where this guidebook comes in. To make planning easy, we have included only the very finest of the thousands of possible walks on Brittany's coast. The guidebook includes Real IGN maps (1:25,000) so there is no need to carry separate maps. It also includes numbered waypoints linking the Real maps to the book's clear descriptions; graded routes to suit all abilities; information on Megalithic and World War II sites and everything else the hiker needs.
