Encounters Europe Bringing the classroom to life

Brittany

Land of seafarers and legends, Brittany will enthral you from the moment you set foot on its spectacular coastline. Distinctive culture and language set this area apart from the rest of France, creating a gentle yet wild character of its own. It is the most culturally independent of all the French regions, breathing a distinctively Celtic flavour. Here you can explore the rich cultural heritage, historic forts, picturesque fishing villages and seaside towns, while enjoying a landscape dotted with standing stones and prehistoric stone circles.

Prices from £208 for 3 nights, full board by coach
