Brittany & the Loire Valley by Motorhome
Wild coast & fairytale châteaux — 7 days
Two of France's greatest regions in one trip — Brittany's wild coast and creperies, and the fairytale châteaux of the Loire Valley. Sail Plymouth to Roscoff (Brittany Ferries) to land right in Brittany and save the road miles. Needs our European Travel cover (£10 a day, incl. VE103); a Crit'Air sticker is wise for French city zones.
Day 1: Sail to Roscoff
Plymouth to Roscoff with Brittany Ferries lands you straight in Brittany. Settle near the pink-granite coast.
