Guidebook for Brittany

Good evening.

I am hoping to get some opinions on a couple of travel guides for an upcoming trip to Brittany. My preference would be to purchase a Michelin Green Guide but it appears that they are no longer produced in English. Rick's France book covers a couple of places we will be (Saint-Malo, Dinan) but misses out on other places we intend to visit (Rennes, Quimper, Vannes, as well as many little towns in between, for example).

Both Moon and Rough Guide have a Brittany & Normandy book, with one published this year and the other with a new edition coming out in Jan/26, so both are current (otherwise that might tip the scale). Having never used either one, I would really appreciate it if anyone who has experience with one or both could offer their thoughts.

Thanks very much in advance.

I used Eyewitness Travel for France as a starting point for Brittany. I you like small, hopelessly adorable towns, visit Locranon, close to Quimper.

I did a driving tour of Normandy with the Rough Guide in July, and found it very helpful.

FYI, you can find used copies of the Green Guide for Brittany on Amazon.
