Its Brittany, France.

Brittany is a cultural region in the north-west of France. Previously a kingdom but then united to the Kingdom of France in 1532. This region is famous with their cultural and historical destinations.


First is The Castle of the Dukes of Brittany.

The Castle of the Dukes of Brittany is one of the largest castles in Brittany and also one of the most beautiful ones in France. Best thing about this castle though has to be the history museum housed inside it, which boasts a great variety of interesting exhibits like relief maps, paintings, tapestry works and photographs.

Second is watch a traditional Breton bagpipe band perform.

Brittany is known for the Breton bagpipe (a.k.a bagad) tradition and while in the region you definitely need to see a Breton band performing typical Breton music with their cool bagpipes, drums and bombards.

Third is The Parliament of Brittany.

The Parliament of Brittany in Rennes is another stunning place you simply cannot miss seeing in Brittany. This parliament building is one of the oldest and one beautiful courts of law you’ll ever set foot anywhere in Europe.  

Fourth is visit Megalith sites of Brittany.

The Megaliths site at Locmariaquer is the largest, oldest and most impressive stone construction site built by Neolithic man in Europe.  

The other important megalithic site in Brittany is located not far from Locmariaquer in the nearby town of Carnac. The site is known as the Carnac Stones, which is a megalithic site of about 100 standing stones aligned in several rows. 

Fifth is Vitre.

The old fortified town of Vitre has to be the nicest and most beautiful examples of medieval walled cities anywhere in Europe.
