Recommended itineraries for your road trip in Brittany
Your van rental in Brittany is the opportunity to discover the many faces of this mythical region. Alternately gentle and charming, wild and untamed, mysterious and captivating, Brittany unveils itself as you progress through your road trip. Here is the itinerary we recommend:
- Day 1: After leaving the agency, your journey begins with the Gulf of Morbihan, and its incredible colors. Fall for the charm of Vannes and its marina, perfect for enjoying a seafood platter;
- Day 2: Continue your road trip in Brittany, with the discovery of the fantastic site of Carnac and its alignments of menhirs. A true gateway to a very distant past. Take the opportunity for a small detour with your van to the Quiberon peninsula;
- Day 3: Get back on the road in your fitted van and follow the coast to discover the most beautiful villages and ports of South Brittany: Pont-Aven, the city of painters, Concarneau with its magnificent Ville Close, and the seaside town of Bénodet;
- Day 4: The tip of Brittany now stretches out before you, with its wild and spectacular natural landscapes. Head for the impressive Pointe du Raz and its commanding view of the Atlantic Ocean. Then, in your fitted van, go admire the rich and varied landscapes of the Crozon peninsula;
- Day 5: Your van rental in Brittany is also an opportunity to discover, in the north, one of the region's natural wonders: the pink granite coast. We especially recommend enjoying it at sunset, when the colors are magical;
- Day 6: Can you imagine visiting Brittany without a stop at Mont-Saint-Michel? Perhaps you will manage to catch a glimpse of the Archangel St Michael, perched atop the spire of the abbey church, soaring more than 150 meters high;
- Day 7: It's time to start your return to our Nantes-Rezé agency. On your last day, set out to explore the legendary Brocéliande forest and its most emblematic sites, like Merlin's tomb. The tales and mythical creatures inhabiting the Brocéliande forest hold many surprises for you.

Practical tips for your van rental in Brittany
Brittany is an ideal region for your rental van road trip. However, some precautions are necessary once you're behind the wheel. First, regarding the weather. Conditions can change very rapidly in Brittany, so stay well-informed and adjust your trip accordingly. Also, pay attention to the dimensions of your fitted van. Given its height, it might not fit everywhere. Tunnels, parking lots… vigilance is required!
Also remember that in Brittany, as elsewhere in France, you cannot camp wherever you want. The simplest solution is to head to a campground or a camper van area, where fitted vans are obviously welcome. Wondering how to find them? AVIS explore recommends using the Park4night app, which shows you where to spend the night during your van journey.
And while Brittany is a region enjoyable in all seasons, the months of May, June, and September are particularly pleasant. The sun is out, the temperatures are comfortable, and there are fewer people than in the summer.
