Where Should I go: Bavaria or Brittany?
Bavaria
When someone says "Germany" you probably picture Lederhosen, sausages and beer. What you're actually picturing with that scene is the southern state of Bavaria. This region is like a scene from Hansel and Gretel – with stunning scenery and castles everywhere you look.
The largest federal state in Germany is home to approximately 12 and a half million people – all proud to be Bavarian. You'll find that many of the features of the Bavarian culture differ greatly from those in the rest of Germany. They know their roots and love their traditions, and they're always ready to share them with visitors.
With history, food, wine and plenty of kid-friendly activities, this is one area of the world where there really is something for everyone.
Brittany
Brittany is a cultural region in the northwest of France. It has also been known as Lesser or Little Britain. It is bordered by the English Channel to the north, the Celtic Sea and Atlantic Ocean to the west and the Bay of Biscay to the south. Brittany is recognized by the Celtic League as one of the six Celtic nations, maintaining a distinct cultural identity that reflects its history. Everything about Brittany is distinctive, from its geography and its granite looks to its traditions and its language. The region stands apart from the rest of France, its long peninsula reaching out 300 kilometers into the Atlantic, however, Brittany isn't isolated, but open to the world. While it celebrates its traditions, it's also forward-looking and fun-loving. Brittany boasts a staggering 1,700 miles of coastline and is one of France's very top destinations for tourism and seaside holidays.
