Location of Brittany, Morbihan, Josselin and Guegon The Brittany region of France covers a large area of land (27,208 km2). To give you some idea of the area, it is the equivalent of the combined English counties of the whole of South West England. This is important when considering where you want to holiday. Generally, it would be a mistake to try and cover the whole of Brittany during a fortnights holiday, as there is far too much ground to cover. We recommend focusing on the Morbihan region. While the land area is large, there are only 3 million residents in Brittany, half the population density of SW England. This means that the roads are clear, countryside is the norm rather than towns, and you can still find (free) parking in most towns and resorts.   There is some dispute as to exactly how many Departments Brittany has. The offical answer is four, but as you will see on the map, many traditionalists (and guidebooks) still include the Loire Atlantique Department that was taken off Brittany  by the occupying Nazi Government during the second World War - much to the Breton's displeasure! We are located in the Morbihan region, which is definately still in Brittany!   Josselin is our nearest large town, and is one of the most attractive small towns in Brittany. It has been awarded the Petite cité de caractère status, and is a three star Floral Town. Josselin was strageically located and was used in ancient times by the Dukes of Brittany as a stopping off point, hence the magnificent chateau. Josselin is ideally situated to visit either the north or south coast, and the beaches of the Gulf of Morbihan can be reached in about 45 minutes.  An established tourist centre, there are a good selection of bars, resuarants and attractions within the town.          Guegon is a properous and attractive small village just outside Josselin with a 12th century church. It is popular as a residential area, and also for holiday home owners. La Ville au Tady is located within the commune of Guegon, a five minute drive down country lanes from the village centre, which contains a good range of local stores including a general store, two bars, a restaurant, florist, pharmacy and boulangerie.                               Click the Google Map image to open up an interactive map which you can use to zoom in and out and view ariel photopgraphy.
