And who can resist a traditional Breton striped top? Your host Shannan Carter of Best of France Travels will show the perfect place to buy one in captivating Concarneau, an old fishing port with narrow cobbled lanes encompassed by stone ramparts, a real taste of yesteryear. Fans of the Jean-Luc Bannalec mysteries may recognise places and scenes as they tour the region too.

And pop over the border to Normandy to visit the magical Mont-Saint-Michel.
Castles, beautiful villages that make you believe time has stood still and ancient churches galore are on your itinerary. And the three thousand dolmens and menhirs of Carnac are every bit as impressive as the prehistoric tablets at Stonehenge.
