Timeshares as Alternative Accommodations
If you're a frequent traveler and are looking for the best accommodations, maybe it's time to buy timeshare for yourself. Unlike days past, today's timeshares are flexible and exchangeable so that you can look forward to welcoming accommodations nearly everywhere you'd like to travel. For the habitual traveler, they're a good way to get great accommodations every time.
With a wide selection of Brittany campsites available, you can choose a location for your camping holiday in Brittany based upon what you would like to visit nearby. Read on to find out about some of the festivals and events you can enjoy on excursions from your Brittany campsite.
Sea Shanty Festival
In August 2009, the port town of Paimpol on the north coast of Brittany, celebrates its maritime tradition with a Sea Shanty Festival. Hundreds of decorated boats gather at the town to show off their livery to the huge crowds. The festival is a celebration of sea faring music, so when you head back to your campsite, Brittany s shanty tunes will put a spring in your step.
Paimpol is just forty minutes from Perros Guirec on the north Pink Granite Coast of Brittany. Camping le Ranolien is a good place to stay here, and you can indulge in your own waterborne fun in the pool complex with its exciting water slides. Alternatively, you might prefer the luxury spa facilities or aqua aerobics available on site, making your camping holiday in Brittany a healthy one. The festival lasts three days, so you can choose a day to suit your schedule, or even return for more if you have a good time on the first visit.
La Semaine du Golfe
The south coast of Brittany has its own boating festival every two years, called La Semaine du Golfe. If you are near the Gulf of Morbihan on a camping holiday in Brittany you can see hundreds of boats – skiffs, gigs, small sail boats and yachts – as they form flotillas and tour the harbours of the area. The longer tours take several days and are divided into stages, stopping into several towns such as Saint Goustan, Le Bono and Larmor Baden, where they are received with a festival atmosphere.
There are a couple of Brittany campsites nearby: Saint Goustan is just a twenty minute drive from the mobile homes at the Brittany resort of Carnac. The Camping la Grande Métairie site is a good location to take a boat trip to La Trinité sur Mer, which is another well known hotspot for boating enthusiasts.
Further to the southeast in Brittany, the campsite in Baden is close to two of the major ports that celebrate La Semaine du Golfe. You could walk north to Le Bono from the mobile homes at Brittany’s Camping Mané Guernehué in about an hour, and Larmor Baden is a little further away in the opposite direction.
Festival Interceltique
The Festival Interceltique is a chance to see the longstanding connections between the Bretons and the cultures of Ireland, Wales, Scotland and Cornwall. Thousands of performers gather for ten days of Celtic music, poetry and dance in Lorient on the south coast of Brittany. The campsites at Arzano and Carnac (mentioned earlier) are both about forty minutes from Lorient by car, so you can enjoy the fun and colour of the festivities as well as the convenience of the quality mobile homes that Brittany campsites can provide.
These are just some of the events you might enjoy on a camping holiday in Brittany, a beautiful coastal region of France that has something for everyone.
