We have a different approach it seems to most, we find each departement has enough to keep us for 1 or 2 weeks, so we tend to pick a new departement and not travel out of it. Each departement usually has a couple of decent towns, so visit 1 per week, maybe 1 or 2 other headline tourist spots, a market or two, then maybe a couple of smaller places (eg villages, chateau, zoos) to go to as well.
So instead of visiting Brittany we have had 3 holidays there - Ille-et-Vilaine (St Malo, Mt St Michel (yes pedants, I know its technically in Normandy), Dinan), Finisterre (Quimper, Concarneau, Benodet, Pont Aven) and Morbihan (Carnac, Vannes, Auray, lots of Menhirs).
Most departements hold our attention for at least a fortnight taking a fairly relaxed attitude - Loire Atlantique, Vendee (x2), Charente-Maritime (x2), Lot, Seine Maritime, Calvados. Sometimes we do join up a couple of neighbouring departements - Allier / Puy De Dome, Loiret / Seine et Marne, Maine et Loire / Indre, Loir et Cher / Indre.

We are post kids now, two grand kids, so we only have ourselves to think of when it comes holidays. So explore, explore.
We also like to get in a big one every other year or so, this year it is Southern Africa. SA, Swaziland, Lesotho and possibly Mozambique, even then we explore, explore, staying in 6 different locations in 4 weeks. We are not ones to stay in one place for too long, we get very itchy feet.
We do, however, have a favourite area for caravaning, coastal Brittany. We have dragged our van all over the place in France, but when the weather is good (we don't do rain either) Brittany takes some beating, with some of the best coastline and beaches in Europe. Love Brittany ❤️
