Search for car hire in Brittany

Not quite France, Brittany has a sense of being a distinct country of its own.

Breton nationalism and culture runs through the veins of this slice of Northwest France, charming visitors from all over. The area’s coast, though, is undoubtedly its biggest draw. Its long stretches of beach and rugged cliffs overlooking the Atlantic can still feel undiscovered and new, while its cobblestone street seaports pulse with tradition.

Pack the car and head inland to Brittany’s prehistoric sites, enchanting forests and natural parks. Or, take the road less travelled and uncover the area’s Celtic legends. But first, start your journey by searching for the perfect car hire with easyCar.

With amazing rural and maritime scenery, green rolling hills and fine sandy beaches, Brittany is a peaceful slice of paradise in France's northwest corner. Car hire in Brittany gives you the freedom to explore this wonderful area at your own pace, stopping at the quaint villages and bustling towns whenever you choose.

Things to do in Brittany

Brittany's varied geography offers holidaymakers a diverse and surprising mixture of both natural and cultural treasures. With over 4000 chateaux, manors and stately homes, Brittany is a land rich in culture and history. Cities such as Rennes offer wonderful mediaeval streets lined with quaint timber framed houses. You can spend hours just wandering through the charming alleyways and markets before stopping off for some delicious and creamy French cuisine. The Brittany museum in Rennes has an interesting selection of exhibits detailing the history of this fascinating region, and is well worth an afternoon visit. Another hidden gem is Cancale, a little fishing village where some of the finest oysters in Europe are harvested. If you're brave, you can sample an oyster fresh from the sea - but make sure you don't swallow a pearl!
