Clean, green cycling breaks in St Malo

10% Discount on cycle-hire for Brittany Ferries' passengers

St Malo's long, sandy beaches and fine shopping and dining are all within easy walking distance of its port, making it a perfect destination for anyone wishing to leave the car at home for a change and explore on foot. Brittany Ferries' two-night stroller breaks allow you to do this for as little as £82* per person, and those wishing to go further afield can still do so by hiring a bike.

Now, Brittany Ferries has teamed up with two of the town's leading cycle-hire companies to offer customers a 10% discount, making it both easier and cheaper to discover the local area on two wheels. And if this sounds too much like hard work, why not try a fun and easy-to-ride electric bike?

There is plenty to see in and around St Malo and travelling by bike allows you to enjoy the scenery and open roads whilst becoming leaner and fitter at the same time. There are many cycling possibilities in the area, including the trip to Cancale along the 'Emerald Coast' as well as visits to the medieval town of Dinan and the vibrant resort of Dinard. And to help with route planning, customers are given a list of itineraries when they collect their bike.

Christiane Barker, General Manager, Holidays comments: "The roads in France are much quieter than at home, making cycling a real pleasure. Combining bike-rental with a Stroller break is a really handy option for those wishing to leave their car at home. What's more, it's a fun and very green way to explore".

Passengers are able to benefit from the 10% discount simply by presenting their ticket at either the Electra-Briezh shop, for conventional cycle hire; or at the Locvelec shop, which offers a range of fun and environmentally friendly electric bikes.
