TIME FOR A GETAWAY

Here's a glimpse of some of Cornwall's must-sees, so come back again...

DAY 1 - QUIMPER

Arrival in Quimper in the early afternoon. Meet your guide for an afternoon of guiding.

Guided tour of the permanent exhibition at the Musée Départemental Breton The museum occupies the former Palais des Evêques de Cornouaille, next to the cathedral. Two wings frame the Rohan tower which houses a beautiful staircase finished with carved panelling. The museum preserves and reveals some wonderful treasures from the Breton past. Furniture, earthenware, objects of daily life and traditional costumes are also presented.

Then, let Quimper tell your story, City of Art and History The historic centre and its timber-framed houses; Saint-Corentin Cathedral, a jewel of Gothic art; the quays of the Odet and its flower-bedecked footbridges; the ramparts...

Check-in at your hotel*** in Quimper town centre. Welcome drink. Dinner at your hotel.

DAY 2 - BÉNODET / CONCARNEAU (40 km)

Breakfast at the hotel. Meeting at the old port of Bénodet to board the Vedettes de l'Odet for a commented cruise on the Odet. Coming down from the Montagnes Noires, the Odet deserves its title of " most beautiful river in France ". The generous nature has shaped the place. From the vires-courts and its swirls of foam to the majestic flight of an ashy heron, from Porz Meillou to the cove of Saint Cadou, the Odet changes its face to better surprise you. Return to the quay around noon.

Lunch in a traditional restaurant.

In the afternoon, drive to Concarneau for a guided tour of the famous picturesque walled town and its cobbled streets lined with granite houses.
