Brittany is one of the regions of France. Located at the North West tip and its 2500km of coastline is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the west and south and the English Channel to the north.   Around 270km long and between 100 and 150km wide it covers an area of some 32000sq.km. The northern coastline is rocky with some high cliffs and narrow river estuaries which contrasts greatly with the southern lower lying coastline which is less jagged and has wider river estuaries.  The coastline is dotted with islands both large and small, some inhabited by people and some by sea birds.  All in all it is geography is very impressive and no matter where you are in Brittany it will never be more than 75 km from the sea.  Its climate is wet throughout the winter but mild and often very hot in the summer. There is a noticeable temperature difference between the north and south coasts. In the summer months this can be several degrees higher on the southern coast.
