About the Paris Maison de la Bretagne Cultural Centre



The goals of the Paris Maison de la Bretagne Cultural Centre, which translates to The House of Brittany, are to promote the culture of this incredible region in France that so many Parisians go to for a holiday each year.  However it also serves as a tourist information centre for people from Brittany coming for a Paris holiday.

Having only been open since 2010 there have been numerous different events that have taken place at the Paris Maison de la Bretagne cultural centre such as exhibitions, meetings, presentations and more, that promote Breton artists, which is why this is often classed as a Paris museum.

In fact, there are always different temporary and unique exhibitions being conducted such as with paintings, sculptures, photography and more, along with mini concerts to discover the heritage of the Breton region.

But the tourist information centre also offers ideas to plan a holiday in Paris or in Brittany, whether it be around festivals and events that are taking place, the culture such as dancing, nature, gourmet French cuisine, the history, etc, or places to stay such as Paris hotels and different activities you can enjoy.

So if you are travelling through France and thinking of stopping in Brittany, then this could well be a good place to visit, but there is also always a varied and comprehensive programme of events and exhibitions taking place for something completely different to discover while in the capital city of France.
