BEAUTIFUL BRITTANY
BOOK NOW
NEW
Brittany is rugged, dramatic coastline; it is glorious beaches and tiny coves; it is medieval towns and picturesque rivers; it is delicious cider and mouthwatering crepes. This brand-new holiday starts with the overnight crossing to dramatic St Malo, the historic walled city and port, once the stronghold for privateers. Staying right on the Bay of Concarneau, explore Southern Brittany from the fortified town of Vannes to the corbelled masonry in old Quimper and a cruise along the beautiful Odet River
