Jaume,

I haven't been to my ancestors' region (I still have some aunts and uncles 
there) of Bretagne/Brittany in a long time and actually am planning to take 
my wife there next year.

Here is a short list of sites I can recommend:

Mont Saint Michel (never tell a Breton that it is in Normandy)
Saint Malo: imposing fortress and nice harbor
Roscoff: cliffs, village
Carhaix: village, church
Pointe des Espagnols
Pointe de Dinan
Pointe du Raz :  these are capes: picture huge waves crashing against rock 
cliffs topped by moors. Quite touristy in August except early in morning. To 
go to pointe des Espagnols (view of Brest's bay) you cross a military base 
for Marine Commandos. Don't be scared they are not as mean as they look and 
their machine guns are loaded with blanks. The views are worth it, less 
touristy.
Concarneau: old harbor with a medieval city on an island linked by a bridge. 
It feels like you've travelled in time
You should also go inland in the Finistere (the westernmost part) Very 
picturesque farms, hills and fields with hedgerows.

This is off the top of my head
If you have any question I'll try to help you

Have a good trip
Philippe
