Overview

An eight-day, self-guided cycling holiday along the Emerald Coast of Brittany, so called because of its blue-green waters, which are in deep contrast to the rugged granite coast. This carefully crafted itinerary takes you along the Emerald Coast’s most shining jewels, including the Natura 2000 protected section of the coast, the UNESCO and Holy Island Mont-Saint-Michel, the maritime marvels of Saint-Malo and Dinard, and the picture-perfect riverside town of Dinan. With fine seafood and wine at every turn, enjoy finding freedom in Brittany, a very unique part of France. There is also an optional day trip to the Channel Island of Guernsey, which you can also explore by bike.
