Mont Saint-Michel and Enchanting Brittany

Local departure by coach or Home Connect service, then to our overnight hotel in the Normandy area.

We head to the fortified town of Dinan. One of the oldest medieval towns in Brittany, it is characterised by cobbled streets, beautiful half-timbered houses and stunning Romanesque and Gothic architecture. We continue to Saint-Malo, where many of the town’s historical sights are within the walls of the Old Town. Be sure to explore the Place Chateaubriand, which is lined with bars and cafés. We later reach Vannes and our hotel for four nights.

Spend a leisurely day In Vannes. The fortified and preserved town of Vannes harbours a wealth of architectural heritage. Ramparts, gardens in bloom, its almost entirely pedestrianised centre, cobbled streets lined with intriguing granite sculptures and half-timbered houses, are all part of the easy-going pace of life here.

Join us on our optional excursion to visit two jewels of South Brittany. We head first to Carnac, and later continue to the popular seaside resort of Quiberon, long a favoured resort of the Bretons.

Our included excursion takes us first to the historic walled town of Concarneau. Enjoy a stroll around the old part of town with it ancient ramparts and discover the charm of this pretty fishing port. We later head to the town of Quimper, with its half-timbered houses and impressive cathedral.

We leave Vannes and head to the imposing Mont Saint-Michel, one of France’s most iconic attractions. Legend has it that the abbey was founded in the 8th century when the Bishop of Avranches was visited by the Archangel Michael in a dream. The island has retained its medieval appearance and character, encircled by historical walls and ramparts. Continue to the Rouen area for an overnight stay.

Return home.
