destinations include…

St Malo

St Malo gives you the real taste of France. The walled city of St Malo is at walking distance from the ferry terminal. The quaint cobbled and bustling streets are lined and with cafes, restaurants, buskers and shops selling and displaying an absolute delight of local, traditional Malouin and Breton fare.

Dinard

Dinard is a 20-minute drive away from St Malo but only 10 minutes away by sea shuttle. Spend a few hours in the charming town of Dinard, famous for its spa treatments and for its International British Film festival. Offering a great choice of bars and restaurants and an open air market on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. If you’ve travelled as a foot passenger then we can also arrange for a taxi to be organised to pick you up from the port on ferry arrival.

Dinan

Thirty minutes away from St Malo ferry port with your own car or by taxi, Dinan is without doubt one of the most attractive and best-preserved medieval towns in France, lined with a delightful array of art galleries, local artisanal craft shops and a wealth of cafes and creperies. The cobbled streets will lead you to the picturesque riverside of the old port and 15th century stone bridge across the river Rance. Enjoy a tasty lunch as you watch life go by on the river.

Mont St Michel

Perched on a rocky islet in the midst of vast sandbanks exposed to powerful tides between Normandy and Brittany stands the ‘Wonder of the West’ – a Gothic-style Benedictine abbey dedicated to the archangel St Michael, and the village that grew up since the 11th century in the shadow of its great walls. We can arrange private minibus excursions on request from St Malo or from Granville.

Granville

Commanding stunning views of the bay of Mont Saint-Michel and known as the ‘Monaco of the North’ this harbour town is a popular seaside resort with a touch of ambience. Visit the walled old town and the elegant private residences, the Modern Art Museum or the Musee du Vieux Granville. From the centre you can take a stroll to the Roc and visit the Aquarium, the Christian Dior House, beach and promenade. Visit on a Saturday and you can browse the open-air markets and stock up on local products.
