What is fun for young people in France?  What can they do?  Where can they go?  Where can they shop?

This page is designed by a young person for young people. 

 

Thank you Katel Robino. 

 

Katel Robino is a young Breton lady studying in l'Orient.  She felt that people her age - early twenties - could be on a budget so she mentions camp sites as good cheap places to stay.  There is considerable information about Brittany as this is her home place and close to the Channel Islands.

 

 

Brittany

 

Katel starts with the closest regions to the Channel Islands and England - Ille et Vilaine and Côte d'Armor and then moving on to the Morbihan and Finistère

 

 

Ille et Vilaine (35)

L’ille et Vilaine is the only department of Brittany where there is not so many beaches. But you have some very beautiful ones, for example in St Malo. 

 

Katel particularly likes

 

St Malo which is a beautiful town, full of history.  It is very simple to go there.  The best thing about St Malo is that it is a quite big town, where there is a lot of entertainment, plenty of things to do and to visit, and you also have the beach.

Rennes is the capital of Brittany.  There are a lot of students there as it is a University city., and during the school year, the day to go out on the evening to have some fun is Thursday night. 

 

Shops, there are a lot of very goods clothes shops in Rennes.  Maybe, the best solution is to walk around the town and see because there are also really goods bars where you can have a drink in summer outside on the terrace!

Pimkie, cheap clothes fashion for women.  4 rue d’Orléans

Zara, very good shop, not expensive and fashion for

men and women. 5 Quai Lamartine

André, good shoes for good prices.  Centre commercial

 

Côtes d’Armor

 

The department of the Côtes d’Armor is very interesting to visit because it is diversified - seaside and countryside.   

 

St-Cast-Le-Guildo, which is a seaside resort.  You don’t have to leave the town to find something to do.  You have got everything in this little town: night clubs, yacht club, a market, shops…
