Overview

Discover the proud tradition and culinary delights of the Breton culture on this fantastic one week break on Brittany’s Morbihan Gulf. No doubt you will be enchanted by the unusual landscapes of this small sea and its little islands, formed by a geological collapse where ancient hills fell into the ocean.

On this self-guided walking holiday, you will explore the most scenic islands and picturesque bays and discover prehistoric stone megaliths. Over the week you will immerse yourself into a wondrous environment boasting a variety of scented flora; with maritime pine, coastal heath and gorse, hydrangeas and camellias in bloom, and even exotic trees of palm, fig and mimosa.

You can look forward to getting away from it all on Brittany's southern coast, staying at our fantastic 3* hotels in Vannes and in the small village of Larmor Baden, just a short hop from the jetties that enable you to explore these idyllic islands. Completing your immersive experience for all the senses, you can do as the locals and feast on the day's catch of tasty seafood, washed down with a local cider or a tasty Muscadet from the neighbouring Loire.
