With the roof tent through Brittany

With the roof tent through Brittany France - Impressive Atlantic coast

Brittany, France, with its impressive coastal landscapes, picturesque villages, and mild climate, is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. This northwestern region of France offers numerous fantastic campsites right by the sea, especially for travelers with a rooftop tent. Gordigear received impressions from an enthusiastic customer of his tour through Brittany, which we would like to share here along with practical tips for your own rooftop tent trip.

On the road with the off-roader - Jeep Wrangler as the ideal travel vehicle

The choice of vehicle plays a crucial role in a camping trip. The Jeep Wrangler, which our customer used to explore Brittany, is ideal for this type of adventure. Its robust construction allows for driving on unpaved roads to reach remote coves and hidden campsites. When planning such a trip, be sure to consult the manufacturer's specifications regarding dynamic and static roof loads. Keep in mind that the weight of the installed roof rack must also be added to the total load. With its stable roof construction, the Jeep Wrangler offers an excellent base for mounting a roof tent for off-road tours , making it a perfect companion for exploring.

Comfortable camping with the Tanami Plus roof tent

The Tanami Plus 180cm roof tent from Gordigear proved extremely practical on our Brittany tour. This model offers generous space for two people and can be set up and taken down in just a few minutes—an invaluable advantage when exploring different places, as is the case in Brittany. The tent's robust construction withstands even the sometimes fierce Atlantic winds that are common on the Breton coast. The high-quality, waterproof outer shell and comfortable mattress ensure restful nights, regardless of the weather conditions, which can be quite changeable in Brittany, France.

Additional comfort with awning and tent space

A particular advantage during our tour through Brittany, France, was the combination of the Gumtree 250cm awning and the accompanying tent space. Gordigear car awnings not only provide protection from the sun, but also from the occasional rain showers that can occur in this region. The additional tent space creates a wind- and weather-protected area that can be used as a kitchen, dining room, or additional storage space – especially valuable during longer stays in one place. The easy installation and sturdy construction have proven particularly useful in exposed locations on the Breton coast, where wind and weather can be quite challenging.

Highlights of Brittany France for roof tent travelers

Brittany offers a wealth of sights and natural beauty that are particularly easy to explore with a rooftop tent. The Pink Granite Coast in the north enchants with its extraordinary rock formations, while the Gulf of Morbihan in the south, with its sheltered bays, offers ideal conditions for peaceful overnight stays. Medieval towns such as Saint-Malo and Dinan are not only culturally interesting but also have well-equipped campsites nearby. Particularly recommended for rooftop tent travelers are the small coastal towns such as Camaret-sur-Mer on the Crozon Peninsula or the area around Cap Fréhel with its impressive cliffs.

Practical tips for your roof tent trip through Brittany

  • The best time to visit Brittany is from May to September, with July and August attracting the most tourists.
  • Pay attention to the tides, especially if you plan to stay overnight near the coast.
  • Many Breton campsites offer special pitches for vehicles with roof tents, which are often located a little further away and in a quieter location.
  • A portable solar system can be very useful for longer stays without electricity.
  • Be sure to pack windproof clothing, as even in summer it can get chilly on the coast.

Optimal equipment for your Brittany tour

A shower tent for added comfort could also be a useful addition, especially if you prefer remote spots away from tourist campsites.
