When this travel writer moved to Paris, she heard about the food in Brittany, France, and fell in love when she visited the region. These are the regional specialties she recommends tasting on a trip, from prized pink onions to Breton butter, salt march lamb, and fresh seafood including oysters, lobster, and mussels.

Kristy is also an avid home cook and cookbook recipe tester.Like many people before me, I didn’t have any plans to visit Brittany until after I moved to France. My travels prior to living in the country had included what I had assumed were the greatest culinary hits,.
My first visit was love at first sight. Even before tasting a single bite, I became enraptured by the wind-shaved cliffs, the earthy scent of the marshlands, and the way the salty sea air sweeps over the long sandy beaches during low tide.
Oyster farmers still set up daily on a pier in Cancale to sell directly to locals and visitors, which was exactly where I chose to have my first encounter with the famous flat oysters of the region. A half dozen plate of fresh oysters only set me back 6€, and I ate them from my perch on a cement staircase that led to the sea’s edge, letting my son toss the shells back to the sea just as soon as I’d swallowed each briny morsel.
