Excursion Port coton & eden garden tour at Belle Île
Cruise line: SilverseaDifficulty:
Experience the floral and coastal beauty of Brittany during this scenic, half-day sightseeing excursion.
Belle Île, Le Palais, Sauzon and Eden Garden
Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately 30-minute drive from Le Palais to Sauzon, then continue on to the Eden Garden. Brittany, homeland of many explorers, was once the starting point of the most prestigious expeditions around the world. Today, Brittany serves as an ideal locale for gardens, as hundreds of varieties have been acclimatized since the 18th century. Upon arrival at the Eden Garden, you are greeted by owner Michel Damblant, who escorts you on a narrated walking tour of his beautiful garden.
Port Coton, Grand Phare, Needles, Rock Pyramids, and Ocean Views
Next, re-board your coach and head to Port Coton. En route, see the Grand Phare, or 'Great Lighthouse', from the coach. Upon arrival at Port Coton, marvel at the original Port Coton Needles, or pyramids of rock worn and shaped by the ocean. At the conclusion of your visit, re-board your coach and commence the approximately 30-minute drive back to the pier.
Please note: This tour involves an extensive amount of walking for approximately 1.24 miles (about two kilometres), at times over uneven surfaces and steep inclines, with a few steps to negotiate to get on/off the coach and 100 steps at the sites visited. This tour is not recommended for guests with limited mobility and guests who utilise a wheelchair.
