UK to Brittany: a family holiday in France without the fuss
For UK families, Brittany can feel like a genuinely different holiday without requiring a complicated itinerary. Travel by ferry, bring the car and make the journey part of the adventure.
Why take the car?
A car gives families flexibility for beaches, markets, attractions and food shopping. It also makes bringing the things you genuinely need for babies and toddlers much easier.
Plan a simple arrival day
After the ferry, keep the first day easy. Settle into your cottage, unpack, let the children explore and shop for breakfast supplies. Save the big outing for the next day.
Build the holiday around southern Brittany
Les Bergeronnettes is near Camors in Morbihan, with countryside and the Forest of Camors on the doorstep. From there, families can explore beaches, historic towns, markets and attractions across the region.
Useful planning checklist
- Book the ferry and cottage early for peak school-holiday dates.
- Allow more time than your sat-nav suggests for family stops.
- Keep snacks, drinks and a change of clothes accessible in the car.
- Plan one main outing per day.
- Keep at least one completely local day.
Check the current ferry operator schedules directly when booking, as routes and timetables change.
Information about the destination and local tourism context is based on the current Les Bergeronnettes website and official tourism information for Morbihan and Centre Morbihan. Check current opening times and availability before travelling.
