CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY IN BRITTANY
Traditionally every year, in the evenings, you will find the Christmas Markets
in all the towns.
Local artists display their crafts during this time: Last minute gifts, holiday
souvenirs and amusements are on offer, and also the opportunity to enjoy
listening to the music and breathe in the tantalising scents amidst the
colourful stalls.
The Christmas Markets are also a great opportunity to sample our local
produce............tables laden with pate, sea food and game. Here the
housewife does her shopping, and the restaurateurs order their fresh
ingredients in order to guarantee you the finest of meals during the
Christmas festivities.
Restaurants are open on Christmas Day, when a special a la carte menu
is available, and the best wines are brought from the cellars.
The Churches each have their own Nativity scenes, where you can visit
and enjoy the peace and tranquillity before the traditional Christmas Eve
celebrations.
Our gites are hung with festive Christmas decorations
NEW YEAR HOLIDAY
New Year's Eve is an occasion to get together with friends and family for a
midnight feast.......the whole atmosphere is extremely festive. Dinner
dances are held in many of the restaurants, where the orchestras play
non-stop until dawn. Other restaurants offer traditional candle-light
dinners in cozy surroundings. A gastronomic menu (Exemple here) together with well
known French wines recommended by the sommelier will guarantee that
you enjoy an unforgettable evening.
Restaurants are open on December 31st and January 1st, and reserving a
table is recommended. A list of restaurants is available upon request.
