Nice ! I’m currently in the north part of it, and I’ve come here by bike (a 400-500km trip).
Hope it was good ! (French Brittany can be brutal for the legs 😉 )

Overall great trip, we cycled 700km in total, 11 days cycling and one day off that we spent cycling around the peninsula of Crozon. Logistics wise, we live in Bordeaux so we drove to Nantes, parked the car at a friends place, took a train to Morlaix. We ended in Quimper and took a direct train back to Nantes. Brittany is beautiful and often overlooked when it comes to tours in France. We cycled mostly along the coast on the velo track 45. Brittany has so much to offer, white sand beaches, turquoise water, super green and lush forests, interesting landmarks, lighthouses, prehistoric sites, and of course the food, all the galettes, crepes and kouign amanns! The coastal track is quite hilly everyday, so it’s not a ride in the park. The Brittany people were all very kind and always interested to hear about our trip. Honestly the only downside was the humidity in the morning for the tent and a couple of wet days, but the temperature never rose above 23 degrees, so we were comfortable during the day. I would love to go back and do a more extensive trip lasting at least a month in coastal parts and inland. Highly recommend.
