Travel Guides - Advice Please

There are a bewildering aray of travel guides to this region of France.

Does anyone know which one is the best one? I am looking at the DK Eyewitness Guide, the Michelin Green Guide and the Rough Guide to Brittany (and includes Normandy too).

I am travelling with 4 kids, aged 3, 8, 15 and 45.

We love anything historical, castles, pretty villages, roman remains, scenery, etc. - and we are staying on a campsite near Vannes. We usually travel about by car quite a bit whenever we are on holiday, so getting around is not a problem. We are not beach people, we have the beautiful Gower Penninsular on our doorstep so look for something different when on holiday.

Any thoughts on guides/things to do would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

I found the best guide to be from the AA series

I have to say the Michlen Green guides are as good as you will get.

They cover all of Brittany and have fantastic Tours to follow, and great town guides.

I%26#39;m up the road from you , but I still would recommend a trip to some of the beaches, especially on the Quiberon penisular not to far from Vannes. Call into one just after the penisular widens into the island on the lefthands side!

On the south bay of teh Gulfe du Morhibion is teh Chateau in Sarazeau fantastic.

Theres a great Museam in a village called Malestroit on the French Resistance very moving as is a visit to the Fort of Penthievre and the tomb of the Breton citizens murdered by the Nazi%26#39;s.

If any of teh troup are into make up or Perfum take a trip to La Gacilly home to Yves Rocher. The village is an Artist Honey pot and there are 1000s of flowers to look and smell.

Finally the Zoo in Pont Scorff is well worth the visit heavily involved in Animal Breeding programme it is self financed and needs all the help it can get.
