Overview

Cycle along wild Atlantic shores, explore ancient megaliths, and observe the Breton language. Highlights abound, from the dramatic ramparts of Mont St Michel to the pirate tales of St Malo, the fairy-tale ambiance of Dinan, and the serene fortress of Combourg with its tranquil lake. Enjoy leisurely rides along canal towpaths deep into Brittany’s Argoat region—known as the ‘Land of the Woods’—where medieval villages and lush greenery await.
