Brittany is for explorers; its wild, dramatic coastline, medieval towns and thick forests make an excursion here well worth the detour off the beaten track. The Brittany coastline is lengthy, rugged and is dotted with beach resorts such as the chic Dinard and walled Saint-Malo, built on rock in the English Channel. The Pink Granite Coast is famed for its unusual, blush-hued sand and rocks. From Cancale you can enjoy breathtaking views over the Baie de St Michel and scenic walks around the coast.

The Loire Valley offers the most diverse range of attractions in France. From its glorious Châteaux and Cathedrals, towns and villages to charm you, sumptuous gardens and natural parks for even the keenest gardeners and nature lovers; there is something for everyone. If it's French splendour, style and gastronomy you seek, the Loire Valley will exceed your expectations. The Loire Valley is a stunning area of France where castles, moats, turrets, bridges, towers and rivers seem as though they have jumped out of the pages of some of the world's most famous fairy tales.

The River Loire originates in the rugged central Ardèche region of France and empties into the Atlantic near the shipbuilding port of Saint Nazaire. The 1,000km Loire river is as French as the Mississippi is American. The concentration of magnificent chateaux found in the Loire valley makes the area between Orléans and Angers one of the most visited destinations in France.
