Quimper Town Visit

Arrive in Quimper the ancient capital of French Cornwall. As you reach the heart of the historic town, one cannot miss the St Corentin Cathedral with its massive bell towers. The historic center is composed of small streets that are lined with half timbered houses.

Most of the street names actually refer to medieval corporations and as you stroll through these narrow streets you will certainly feel as if you were taking a leap back in time. The destination is certainly one of the most authentic in Brittany and a walk along the Odet River is a real treat. Enjoy some free time in Quimper for personal discovery and lunch.

Locronan Village visit

In the afternoon, arrive in Locronan. The village is extraordinary and was one of the most prosperous of the area thanks to the sail making industry. From its Golden Age, the village has retained Renaissance houses built of Granit, an old well, a very large church as well as a stunning chapel that is located at the end of Rue Moal.

The village is part of the Most beautiful Villages of France association and has known an increase in the number of visitors as it also ran for the title of Preferred Village of the French. Enjoy some free time for personal discovery and there are also great shopping opportunities for those who wish to bring back some very local souvenirs.

After the visit we will drive back to your Cruise Ship in Brest and that will be the end of our services.

This tour was very special for me and my family as we were visiting locations my grandpa served in during WW2 with the US army. Pascal was our guide and did a fantastic job. He was extremely knowledgeable and had a very entertaining way of sharing information.

What a wonderful way to do spend a day after touring, walking, boating around Strasbourg we went with a group of four and a guide through the Alsatian wine country!! Our tour included three winners and lunch on your own. I couldn’t tell you one winery was better than the other two. Each of our wine reps were passionate and knowledgeable about wines wine’s wine making, and the region. Each facility had its own charm with large wood casks, Steele fermentation tanks, and press. We learned so much about the history of wine. Coming from Minnesota in the United States I was so impressed with our tour guide Violette. She was our advocate everywhere we went. She also taught us a great deal about the history of the region and wines. Her dream? To become a sommelier!! Beautiful Day!!

Wonderful tour! Mostly small family owned wineries, which was great. Thierry had a perfect blend of wine/vineyard knowledge, history, personal stories, and humor. Highly recommend!
