Classic French Escapes: Bordeaux, Brest, Cherbourg & Honfleur

Crossing the Irish Sea to Belfast, you will explore Northern Ireland’s prosperous capital of Belfast, which has risen like a phoenix from the Troubles. Then it’s over the Channel to Brest, France’s westernmost city, which is famed for its stunning beaches, intensely Gallic atmosphere and fine restaurants. Meanwhile, Bordeaux is celebrated for its culture and surrounded by some of the world’s most famous vineyards and quintessentially French Cherbourg boasts a remarkable maritime history and the second largest artificial harbour in the world. Finally, we will take in Honfleur– another lovely port, which inspired the Impressionists including Claude Monet.
