Looking for a truly unique getaway? Enter this competition for the chance to win a memorable three-night escape to the enchanting region of Brittany, combining history, culture, and coastal beauty. Experience the charm of Saint-Malo and Rennes, two of Brittany’s most captivating destinations, alongside the warm hospitality of hand-picked, welcoming hotels.
Your adventure begins with two nights in Saint-Malo, an enchanting walled city brimming with rich maritime history. Stay at Villa St Raphaël, a beautifully restored 18th-century villa just 100m from a quiet beach. This elegant guesthouse offers a peaceful retreat, where you can unwind in the tranquil garden or explore the city’s historic centre. Saint-Malo is renowned for its fascinating past as a pirate haven and its distinctive Breton culture. Wander the cobbled streets, enjoy fresh seafood, and savor the local delicacies. The city is also a gateway to the dramatic beauty of the Breton coast, making it the perfect base to relax and explore.

Next, you’ll head to Rennes, the vibrant capital of Brittany, for a one-night stay at Castel Jolly, a charming guesthouse in the heart of the city. Located just a short walk from the lush Parc du Thabor, this peaceful haven lets you soak in the city’s lively atmosphere and rich history. Rennes offers the perfect mix of old-world charm and modern flair. Stroll through its medieval streets, admire its half-timbered houses, and take in the striking architectural blend – from the Gothic Saint Yves Chapel to the contemporary Les Champs-Libres cultural centre.
Rennes is also home to Marché des Lices, one of France’s largest and oldest markets, where locals gather every Saturday morning to buy fresh, local produce and enjoy a coffee or galette saucisse in the vibrant, convivial atmosphere. The city’s cultural heritage is enhanced by its stunning mosaics, created by the Odorico family, which are scattered throughout the city.
