Fun for kids on a Rainy Day in Brittany:

  1. St Malo Grand Aquarium – Fantastic exhibits with descriptions in both French & English.

Summer Fun in Brittany:

  1. Cobac Parc This place is great fun and especially suitable for younger children, perhaps not so great for teenagers – It is set in a beautiful forest & there is a both a Theme Park & a Water Park.
