Either you are a solo traveller or a couple in search of intimacy, far from all Christmas excitement, take some time and escape to the islands of Brittany. Discover their different faces during the winter when they really get their authenticity back.
The Breton islands are easy accessible by ferry. From Quiberon, hop aboard a boat to Belle Ile, from l’Arcouest to Brehat or alternatively from Port-Blanc in Baden to go to the Ile aux Moines.
These little pieces of land have in common a breathtaking, wild beauty, which can inspire creativity and meditation for the solo traveller.
Now is the ideal time to discover their secrets, history, legends and traditions in the magical atmosphere ofa mix between the mysterious wild and the cold wind. Visit the lighthouses in Bréhat, Hoedic or Belle Ile or the old harbour in Houat, and feast on local specialities such as pancakes and cider in any crêperie.
With the busy stressful period in the lead up to the festive season, take the time to lose yourself there and begin 2012 with a fresh start.
