Brittany Weekend Tours

An opportunity to enjoy a short break in Brittany and a relaxing cruise across the Channel. This year we offer three options for you to consider. The basic format is the same for all, only the destination differs. We leave Plymouth on the overnight sailing on a Thursday or a Friday ( please check the dates carefully to ascertain which) and during the crossing you will have a 2-berth cabin. We then have two nights at our chosen hotel on half-board terms with excursions during the day. We return the following Sunday (or Monday according to which day we travel out) at 1630 or 1500.

St Pol de Léon 4 days

This weekend has the least coach time of any tour in the brochure. We have reduced the driving time to the absolute minimum so that you have plenty of time on the ground experiencing the local scene, up close and personal, rather than through the coach window. We have arranged a very good deal with the restaurant/hotel in St Pol where we bring our Express clients for dinner before catching the ferry home. The rooms are complete with private facilities and are best described as modest rather than luxurious but ideal for an inexpensive weekend break. Good, home cooked food is a big feature of this weekend break. We don’t think you’ll be disappointed!
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 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.

We’ll set off on Friday night and sail to France. A cabin is provided. We reach Roscoff at 0700 (local time) on Saturday and after disembarkation it is a short drive to Morlaix where it is market day and the stalls are set up under the viaduct in the town centre. There’s a lively atmosphere and no doubt you will be able to find some bargains. We’ll spend the morning here and we leave around noon to drive to St Pol de Léon and check into the Hotel Le Passiflore for two nights with breakfast and dinner with wine. In the afternoon there will be plenty of time to relax and explore St Pol.

On Sunday morning we set off for a short drive to the resort of Carantec where you’ll be able to stroll by the water’s edge before we leave and make our way to Roscoff. This is a pleasant port and resort with plenty of bars, cafes and restaurants and some good sightseeing opportunities, maybe a boat ride to the Ile de Batz? Later in the afternoon we return to St Pol de Léon for dinner and overnight.

We leave the hotel on Monday morning and head inland to the pretty little village of Huelgoat with its lake and woodland walks. From here we travel to the outskirts of Morlaix to visit the Hypermarket and then to Roscoff and en route will call into the “Red Cash” wine and beer warehouse. We catch the 1530 sailing to England. On arrival around 2000/2030 the coach returns to the original pick up points.

Cost includes: travel by executive coach; ferry passage; cabin overnight; 2 nights at a 2** hotel, all rooms with private facilities and breakfast and dinner with wine; excursions as described.

Concarneau 4 days

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. The excursions are very interesting, not too much driving and plenty of time to relax and take in the sights.

We leave Plymouth on the overnight Thursday sailing. We reach Roscoff at 0700 (local time) and after disembarkation we set off westwards to the main city of the region, Brest. We park in the centre near the Arsenal and you’ll have time for some sightseeing. In the early afternoon we set off for Concarneau. On arrival we check in to the Hotel de l’Ocean for two nights. The hotel is well known locally for its cuisine (and also by hundreds of our previous clients )and is located opposite a sandy beach. It has a covered and heated swimming pool in the garden with Jacuzzi and Fitness room. On Saturday we drive to Quimper, the ancient capital of Cornouaille. There’s an outdoor street market taking place on Saturdays near the centre where we park. We’ll spend the morning here and in the early afternoon we travel to the resort of Bénodet calling in at the Hypermarket en route.
Once again, dinner will be at the hotel.
Sunday morning is free to do as you wish. Have a lie-in, use the swimming pool, stroll along the promenade , visit the beach outside the hotel or visit the Old Quarter.
We leave the hotel in the late morning heading for Roscoff and en route will call into the “Red Cash” wine and beer warehouse for final drinks shopping. Finally we drive to the Ferryport to catch the 1530 sailing. This reaches Plymouth at 2030 and the coach then returns to the original pick up points.

Cost includes: travel by executive coach; ferry passage including cabin overnight; 2 nights at a 3*** hotel, all rooms with private facilities, buffet breakfasts and dinners with wine; excursions as detailed.
