The Emerald Coast Walk

• Beautifully varied and unspoiled scenery; hardly touched by tourism

• Pink granite boulders above stunning turquoise seas; spectacular views
• Exceptional value for money holiday; masses of travel choices

An outright winner from the outset, this walk is simply stunning. The dramatic scenery, wealth of colours and mediaeval influences distinguish it from all other holidays in our programme.

During the first few days of your holiday, you will be walking along the magnificent paths that hug the northern coast. It's a landscape of pinky-gold cliffs, secret coves, deserted, heather-backed beaches and traditional Breton fishing villages untouched by tourism. It is perfect for exploring on foot and, at every turn, you're rewarded with fabulous panoramic views of the entire Emerald Coast.

Heading inland, the route takes you along the banks of the river Rance and on through the majestic Hunaudaye Forest. Highlights include the feudal Fort de la Latte and the beautiful stone-crafted town of Dinan. In the Middle Ages, Dinan served as one of the main strategic strongholds of the Duchy of Brittany and much of her mediaeval charm remains today.

The hotels you stay in are full of contrasts too and include a lovely seaside hotel in Sables d'Or-Les-Pins and a superbly located 3-star hotel built into the ramparts in the heart of historic Dinan.
