1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
The boat trips to the islands & experiencing the extraordinary currents in the sea; the cairn of Gavrinis; the contrast between the maritime and the riverine landscapes.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Be prepared for very changeable weather; metal tips on walking poles are banned on most paths (ferrules mandatory).3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes, in that most of the hospitality providers & restaurant owners seemed to be local people. The environment was litter-free & well cared for.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Very enjoyable. All the arrangements had been made efficiently and we had no problems at all. We would highly recommend the host company. One of the hotels (Hotel Alicia in Le Bono) was not up to the standard of the others but as we were only there for one night, it did not matter all that much.Hilary Southall review 15 Jun 2024
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Glorious crossings for exploration of two islands. Varied coastal then riverside walking, jackpot weather, rain broke as we finished in Auray. Swimming each day apart from final day. Peaceful outlook across the water from our rooms at Le Feitan. Celebratory lunch as we finished at Yac’h on the quayside at Auray - superb galette with honey, some grilled goats cheese, walnuts, and little salad.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Do buy the two local maps. We extended the final day, and shortened day walking to Larmor Baden as distance seemed long given later start from taxi pick up.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Careful green minded practice by all hospitality providers. Interested to read about and spot a kind of sea grass restoration, though incidental experience.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
