St Pol is a pleasant little town which has been rapidly expanding over the past few years. The town centre has an interesting pedestrianised area and boasts two of the finest buildings in Brittany, the cathedral and the Kreisker Chapel. It is central to the important agricultural industry of Brittany and all around the town are fields of cauliflowers and artichokes. Quiet, not all noisy and just the job for a relaxing weekend away from it all. The Hotel Le Passiflore is 2*, very friendly and geared to pleasing their guests.

This fishing port and resort has been pleasing our clients for years and its attraction never fades. In the town itself, the main feature is the old walled town and the location of our hotel is perfect, just metres away from a sandy beach and a nice stroll along the promenade to the town centre.

Quiberon 4 days
Quiberon used to be an island and is now joined to the mainland by a narrow isthmus pointing out into the Gulf of Morbihan. It's an area of maritime pines, sand dunes with fine sandy beaches, cliffs and rocks. The town is a popular holiday resort but also has a busy fishing harbour and sardine boats unload their catch to be enjoyed fresh or canned in local canneries. This destination is a typical French holiday resort.
