Join us to get a glimpse of Brittany - a Celtic country which, like Wales, is full of culture, history and traditions. From the pretty countryside villages to the medieval towns and their narrow streets, and with an impressive coastline too, there is plenty to see and experience on this diverse journey. From our base in the attractive town of Concarneau on the Finistere coast, we enjoy the best of the land and sea in this enchanting corner of continental Europe.
