Some ideas:

St Malo.

The neighbourhoud of Huelgoat and the 'Broceliante Wood' (King Arthurs legend, here he was educated by Merlin). There is an extremely old Gaul Fortyress on the mountaintop. Actually, the whole mountaintop IS the Gaul fortress. It still is totally surrounded by the old earth walls. It originally was destined for some thousands of soldiers.
And if you are there, just see the 'roche tremblante', e huge rock that you can start rocking if you push at the right spot.

Carnac, its the 'alignements' of thousands of standing stones. Take the slightly smaller site, where you can have a guided walk on one of the sites. The larger ones use littles trains.

If you are interested in modern history you will find several huge bunker-complexes, also heavily shot at during the time of the Normandy landings.

Lorient has the huge submarine bunkers, which can be visited.

Buy the Michelin guide and you may find a lot more.

Have fun.

The U-boat pens at St Nazaire are also worth a visit especially if you've seen the TV reconstruction or read the account of the wartime raid there

Hi

try http://uk.franceguide.com

You can search for brochures from any of the thirty french regions and they'll post them to you (you have to pay the postage)

They are all printed in English and include Camping/Caravanning site brochures as well. It's the best website available to find information about areas of france before you get there.

 I've not found it easy in France to obtain English Language Tourist brochures, so this site is top of my list.

Regards

Pat
