* Although technically not in Brittany, Cherbourg was included for its proximity and popularity with Brittany's travellers.

You can, of course, arrive at other French ports on the Northern coast, which will require some driving to reach your final destination but you can usually get some cheaper crossings and if you do not enjoy sea crossings, you always have the choice of the Eurotunnel with the shortest crossing of all.
