Cycling to Brittany's Land's End, France

Picturesque lighthouses stand sentinel on rocky cliffs that contrast with the broad sandy beaches at the southern end of the Bay of Audierne. This is the quiet side of Brittany and it is here you will enjoy the best of coastal cycling. Our undulating coastal route leads you from bustling fishing ports to traditional whitewashed farming communities, past menhirs and dolmens of an ancient bygone culture, and on to charming small hotels and restaurants where you will savour delightful local cuisine. You stay in a real variety of hotels on this holiday, all stylish and comfortable, and offering a warm welcome.

Traveller Reviews of This Trip

Our second holiday with Inntravel, we like your style of holidays and quality of hotels - have used other cycling and walking companies in the past and feel yours is a definite "notch above". Mr S, Derby, 22/06/2010

We loved it! Just the right level for us. Very well planned route; usually the last 5km were straightforward which worked very well. Lots of options are also included. Mr M, West Sussex, 08/09/2008

A very attractive and interesting route. We would have been lost without the notes which were excellent. Mrs G, Suffolk, 14/07/2008
