Families invited to Brittany's nautical attractions

Family groups planning a half-term trip to Brittany this month have been urged to pay a visit to the region's many nautical attractions.

Brittany is famous as a sailing, yachting and cruising destination and is home to a number of institutions that explore this subject and offer family prices starting at €38 (£30) per day, according to the regional tourist board.

One of the most high profile attractions is the new Cite de la Voile, or Sailing Museum, on the shores of the Atlantic, which boasts high-tech simulators that put visitors behind the wheel of a racing boat.

At the Oceanopolis in Brest, holidaymakers can explore polar, tropical and temperate zones that are home to more than 10,000 marine animals, including sharks, penguins and seals.

St Malo's Grand Aquarium gives visitors the chance to enjoy a more up close and personal experience, with a number of touch pools allowing children to get a feel for the underwater creatures.

Brittany Ferries is one of the main operators providing ferry crossings to Brittany, with services to Roscoff and St Malo from Plymouth and Portsmouth.
