St Valentine's Day Special 3 days
Departs February 13th 2009

As the hectic Christmas and New Year festive season recedes into the memory why not join us on a weekend visit to Brittany to re-stock the cellar, get the senses moving again, and generally re-invigorate yourself with a weekend away? St
Valentine's Day falls this weekend so we've tried to make this trip a very special one. What will make it even more interesting is that the new ship , the "Armorique" will have joined the fleet a few days earlier.

We pick up from the various points indicated below and travel to Plymouth Ferryport to catch the 2200 sailing to Roscoff. A 2-berth cabin is provided for the overnight crossing.

We disembark at 0800 on Saturday and set off westwards via Morlaix to the main town of the region, Brest.

We'll spend the morning in this major city and naval base and then in the early afternoon we will head towards the airport and the Hypermarket Leclerc where we will spend some time doing essential shopping. We resume our drive in the afternoon and travel to Morlaix for some sightseeing.

You’ll probably need a break every now and then and around the main square there are many cafes and restaurants where a croissant and coffee is always available, something stronger if you prefer.

After sightseeing in this pleasant market town we start towards Roscoff for our final shopping at the beer and wine warehouse "Red Cash" which has some very good prices on alcoholic drinks. From here we continue into St Pol de Léon and the Restaurant "Le Passiflore" where we have a 4-course typical French dinner with wine. We then drive to Roscoff to catch the 2200 sailing to England. This reaches Plymouth at 0800 on Sunday and after disembarkation the coach returns to the original pick up points.

The cost is £95.00 per person and this includes all travel by executive coach;ferry crossing with 2-berth cabin each way;excursion in France;dinner and Tour Escort.
Single (cabin)supplement is £20. Children under 16 £80.
