France: Brittany

Off the Beaten Path · Season 7 · Episode 26
Brittany, in northwestern France, is a peninsula stretching from the Loire River to Mont-Saint-Michel Bay. With rugged cliffs, sandy beaches, and charming towns, it feels distinct from the rest of the country. Today, it is one of France’s most livable regions, with a strong economy, low unemployment, and a high quality of life. In the town of Dol-de-Bretagne lives Igor from Slovakia, who moved here 13 years ago with his French wife Cécile. She is a naval officer, while Igor works as a health and safety director. We start at the local market, then learn to make traditional galettes, taste apple cider, and enjoy some of the finest oysters in Europe.
