www.cites-art.com: A land of country folk, Brittany is renowned for the quality and originality of its rural heritage. It is an indigenous heritage, varied, widely spread and deeply influenced by religion, by the nobility and by military art. A country of seafarers, it includes a third of the coastline of France. Brittany also possesses an exceptional maritime Heritage.
Brittany is also, perhaps surprisingly, a region with strong urban traditions, whose origins, for some of its towns, go as far back as the Roman Empire, the early middle ages, the feudal period or the Age of Discovery.
There are many such cities, constructed around civic buildings, monasteries or castle mounds, generally on defensive sites, such as the first bridge or crossing point, each according to its locality, with its own identity. Today, these towns have retained their authenticity and a well preserved and maintained urban heritage. They are brought together under the common term of Cities of the Arts.
