Boasting stunning green hills, exquisite art and delicious food, RSVP's Áine Kenny explains why everyone should put this Celtic corner of France on their bucket list
It might surprise you, but despite being very seasick on the journey over, I wouldn’t rule out taking the ferry to France again. I would just make sure I took my anti seasickness tablets on time!
After unpacking I went down to the bar for a drink, where there was live entertainment. We were then invited down to the captain’s quarters and got to see the navigators hard at work as we left Cork. Pont-Aven was probably my favourite part of the holiday. We had a guided tour of this picturesque town, which is built on the river Aven. Tall stone houses sit on top of the hills and you often cross the river via various bridges, which are surrounded by the most luscious plants and greenery.
Carnoët and Morlaix The next morning, it was time to say farewell to Pont-Aven and head deeper into the countryside to visit the Valley of the Saints in Carnoët. This artistic endeavour is unique: it encompasses a feudal moat, a 16th-century chapel and giant statues of Breton saints. Currently there are just under 200 monumental sculptures, with plans to build 1,000.
Roscoff Some time later we headed back to Roscoff to enjoy a delectable meal in L’Ecume des Jours and had a restful sleep in Hotel La Résidence des Artistes. This seaside town was easy-going and chill, a perfect way to wind down our trip.
