Road Trip Through Inland Brittany

Embark on a captivating four-day adventure from Rennes to Brest through Brittany’s lush green heartlands. Begin in Rennes, a vibrant city where medieval charm meets modern flair—expect half-timbered houses, buzzing cafés, and contemporary street art. Then, head westward to Josselin, a riverside gem with a fairytale château and tranquil canal perfect for paddleboarding or kayaking. Along the route, explore enchanted forests like Brocéliande, discover local heritage, and savour Breton cuisine. Each stop offers a mix of culture, nature, and history. End your journey at the Atlantic coast in Brest, where sea views meet rich maritime tradition

The Untamed Isle of Corsica

Corsica is France—but not like you know it. Towering granite peaks crash into turquoise seas, wild herbs scent the air, and the sound of traditional polyphonic singing drifts through stone villages. Known as l’Île de Beauté (the Isle of Beauty), Corsica is a fiercely proud land shaped by centuries of resistance, independence, and raw natural splendour. From the ancient citadel of Calvi to the clifftop drama of Bonifacio, every corner feels alive with story. Whether you're hiking mountain trails or diving into coastal coves, Corsica stirs the soul
