Surf's up in Brittany

According to Michel Boye, founder of Ocean Surf Report, France is fast becoming a "surf nation" with increasing numbers of young people taking up the sport.

The conditions along the coast of Brittany are perfect for surfing and attract professional surfers as well as beginners, the AFP news agency reported.

Brittany is home to numerous sandy beaches where families can relax and spend the day swimming and sunbathing.

Watching the surfers as they tackle the waves could provide just one more form of entertainment.

Brittany villa holidays in the fishing village of Erquy could be perfect for those who want to hit the beaches, as there are ten of them along the coastline near the town.

They could also sit in a restaurant along the harbour and enjoy some fresh local seafood while watching the boats come and go.
