Brest, the most westerly city in France, features a stunning coastline with amazing beaches and will dazzle you with its intensely Gallic culture. Bordeaux is cultured in a completely different way: filled with historic buildings and surrounded by perhaps the world’s most famous wine country. After a leisurely day in Cherbourg, we will take in the lovely port of Honfleur, whose charm inspired the Impressionists including Claude Monet, before crossing back to Liverpool, birthplace of the Beatles: a city suffused in poetry, music and alternative art.
