Though by no means one of Maunie's longest cruises, our two-and-a-half weeks across to the Channel Islands and down to Brittany was a thoroughly enjoyable trip. We're very glad that we decided to head south rather than our original plan to head to Ireland as the weather was definitely kinder to us.
The other obvious bonus, without wishing to knock Irish cuisine, was the food and drink in France. We ate very well aboard, thanks to some excellent markets and bakeries, and had a few memorable meals ashore too.

Though we had a few days of mixed weather, including a memorably intense thunderstorm, the sunny days allowed us to complete some great coastal hikes. The Brittany countryside is beautiful and the old villages very picturesque; it appears that the planning authorities have been largely successful in curtailing the development of unsympathetic modern additions.
As you'd expect, we've put together a video of the experience, slightly longer than the norm at 32 minutes, but we hope it gives you a good idea of the trip and explains why we'll definitely go back to this part of France!
