About the Tour
Brittany attracts more visitors from Britain than any other part of France and this fascinating holiday highlights some of the delights of this beautiful coastline. We begin our tour travelling through Normandy, to the magnificent Mont St. Michel. Appreciate the architectural masterpiece built on an ancient mount, before heading to Cancale. We continue to the fortified town of Dinan, one of the oldest medieval towns in Brittany. Then you have the chance to explore the cobbled streets and impressive ramparts of St. Malo, before visiting the walled city of Vannes and Carnac, one of the most important prehistoric sites in Europe. Spend the day in Quimper, known as the ‘cultural heart of Brittany’, or choose to visit the walled town of Concarneau. Before heading home, end your holiday in the coastal town of Honfleur.

We are unable to guarantee that the hotel will be able to meet your dietary requirements. We find that the majority of European countries do not generally cater for vegetarians and that the meal supplied may well be what everyone else is having minus the meat.
We will of course endeavour to arrange for a vegetarian meal at the hotel. We do however suggest that you advise us of your dietary requests at the time of booking and recommend that you speak to the receptionist on arrival with regard to your request.
