Dol-de-Bretagne is a town in the Ille-et-Vilaine
department of Brittany in northwestern France. It lies inland
about 6 kms from the coast on the main N176 highway, about 27
kms southeast of St Malo. Dol-de-Bretagne is reputed to be the
origin of the royal House of Stuart who became the monarchs of
Scotland and later the United Kingdom, and there is a plaque
in Dol commemorating that. |

Places to visit in Brittany |
|
 |
Brittany sits in north-west France,
occupying a large peninsula separating the English Channel and
the Bay of Biscay. The town and port of Roscoff is served by
ferry links with England and Ireland. A long jagged coastline
is the region's great attraction, with magnificent beaches and
seaside resorts on the northern shores of Cote d'Emeraude and
Cote de Granit Rose. The south coast is gentler with wooded river
valleys, a milder climate and the prehistoric sites of Carnac
and the Golfe du Morbihan. The regional capital is Rennes and
the great castle at Fougeres is unmissable. |
