Itinerary

Day by Day Summary and Map

Day 1 - Thursday - May 8, 2025

Bordeaux, France

Depart: 18:00:00

Bordeaux stretches along the banks of the Garonne river in south-west France. Its rich wine tradition makes it the world capital of wine. Let yourself be carried away by the history of the Port de la Lune, a UNESCO World Heritage Site thanks to its prestigious classical architecture. On the famous Place de la Bourse, the past and the present unite: here you can observe the majestic old buildings reflected in the contemporary Miroir d'eau creation.

Day 2 - Friday - May 9, 2025

Quiberon, France

Welcome to the Quiberon peninsula in the Morbihan, Brittany's wild and contrasting landscape. On the Atlantic Ocean side, you will see stretches of wild coastline with rugged, windswept cliffs, and on the Quiberon Bay side, long sandy beaches overlooking emerald waters. Port Haliguen, a ten-minute walk from Quiberon, is a marina that has retained all its charms of yesteryear.

Day 3 - Saturday - May 10, 2025

Brest, France

Built around a magnificent harbor, Brest opens onto the Iroise Sea and the river Penfeld that runs through the city. Its port was used by the French navy for centuries before becoming an important commercial port and marina appreciated by the great navigators. As you stroll along Quai Commandant Malbert, you may catch a glimpse of the superb schooner La Recouvrance and, in the distance, a few lighthouses along the chiseled coastline. You will be able to discover the marine ecosystems at the Oceanopolis center and visit the naval museum housed in Chateau de Brest. Officially recognized as a city of art and history, Brest will also charm you with its architectural eclecticism, mingling Modernism, Neoclassicism, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco.

Day 4 - Sunday - May 11, 2025

Guernsey, United Kingdom

Guernsey is an atypical and unforgettable port of call. This Channel Island will delight you with its mild, iodic climate and its green and floral landscapes. Don't be surprised to come across dolmens and menhirs here and there, testifying to the long history of the island and its rich heritage. The attractive capital of St. Peter Port is characteristic of the delightful British atmosphere that gives the island its charm. The memory of the great writer Victor Hugo is also very present, as he lived for fifteen years in exile in Guernsey. His home, Hauteville House, preserves his memory. The incredible richness of the decoration gives a clear illustration of the creative genius of this great man.

Day 5 - Monday - May 12, 2025

St Malo, France

The mere mention of Saint-Malo's name is enough to plunge us back into the richness of its past. The fortifications stand as testimony to the Malouins' determination to defend their citadel, fought over by France and Britain in turn. When we drop anchor here, immerse yourself in the diversity of its heritage: the time when privateers sailed the oceans in search of trade and victories; the legendary yacht races the port city is still famous for, such as the Route du Rhum; and the final resting place of the French writer Francois-Rene de Chateaubriand, who was born here and chose to be buried here anonymously.

Day 6 - Tuesday - May 13, 2025

Dartmouth, United Kingdom

Succumb to the charming setting of the small town of Dartmouth in the county of Devon, south-east England. Set in the heart of lush scenery on the banks of the River Dart's estuary, the town's magnificent landscapes are typical of the English countryside. Its picturesque paved streets will let you discover sumptuous half-timbered houses dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries while on the northern bank of the river, you will be able to admire former fishermen's houses in their pastel colours. Now a popular tourist destination, this small port town has nonetheless managed to retain its relaxing and romantic atmosphere.

Day 7 - Wednesday - May 14, 2025

Isles of Scilly, United Kingdom

Nestling in the clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean, at the south-west tip of Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly form a small British island chain whose climate, landscapes, and lifestyle are unlike any other and seem to have come straight from an Enid Blyton story. Here, everything resembles a tropical paradise. The long sandy beaches run alongside lush green meadows teeming with semi-exotic flowers, while the ruins of ancient castles loom from the tops of the hills. Veritable havens of peace that inspired the legendary Avalon of King Arthur, they are today listed as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the rugged coastline plays host to wildlife that is as varied as it is exceptional, including the very rare Atlantic grey seal.

Day 8 - Thursday - May 15, 2025

Kinsale, Ireland, Ireland

Considered Ireland's most beautiful village, Kinsale will captivate you with its sublime natural landscapes and rich cultural heritage. Located at the mouth of the Bandon River in County Cork, this charming little port is home to picturesque streets lined with colourful houses, art galleries, and theatres, as well as to a 17th-century fort. Not far away, perched on a rocky promontory, stands the Old Head of Kinsale Lighthouse: still in operation today, it has magnificent views over the Atlantic Ocean.

Day 9 - Friday - May 16, 2025

Dublin, Ireland

The Irish capital stretches along the banks of the Liffey to Dublin Bay, on the east coast of Ireland. Discover Ireland's warm conviviality in the pedestrian district of Temple Bar. Its cobbled streets are brimming with fabulous shops, pubs, and arts centres. Next to Trinity College, famous for its 18th-century library, you can stroll along Grafton Street: in one of its famous tea shops, try a delicious scone and clotted cream served hot and melt-in-the-mouth with jam. Not far from here, the majestic O'Connell Bridge leads you to the avenue with the same name, on which Spire, a luminous contemporary sculpture presides.
