Here’s a delightful tour that combines three remarkable destinations: Brittany, Normandy and Jersey. From the historically iconic Mont St Michel to the genteel resorts of Dinard & Dinan, this tour is packed with gems.
Read moreNormandy; the Magnificent Mont St Michel
With its rich and often brutal past, Normandy played an a massive role in European history. However, Normandy’s most scenic gem is of course, the remarkable Mont Saint-Michel. A gravity-defying medieval monastery atop an island. The town’s splendid Norman Notre-Dame cathedral welcomes you to this historic town, and is well worth a visit.
Discover the Gems of Brittany
Explore the medieval town of Dinan one of the most attractive and best preserved small towns in Brittany. With its 1.8 mile (3km)-long ramparts, half-timbered houses, attractive port and cobbled streets filled with art galleries and craft shops, it’s worth a day of anyone’s time. As well as this, see the charming seaside St Malo. This city has a long historical connection to explorers, traders and pirates and was the home of the navigator Jacques Cartier, who discovered Canada. Visit one of the town’s museums dedicated to its seafaring history and take a walk round the city’s walled ramparts before delving into the exquisite Breton cuisine. St Malo is known for its regional specialities crepes au blé noir (crepes made with black flour) and kir Breton (creme de cassis with cider), so why not enjoy these delicacies while walking the streets of the reconstructed city.
Découvrir the Anglo-French Island of Jersey
Spend a day exploring the largest of the Channel Islands, Jersey. At just nine miles by five miles, Jersey is an island that’s small on size, but big on personality. Discover Jersey and enjoy a panoramic tour, taking in some of the island’s most spectacular bays, including St Ouen and St Brelade’s. You’ll see some fascinating sights, including the Corbiere Lighthouse, St Elizabeth Castle, and St Matthew’s (glass) Church, and some picturesque villages, including St Aubin.
