Brittany Ferries - Gateway to the 'Real France' this summer

And now up to 25% off

Anyone looking for the Great Outdoors will find it in France. And anyone looking for the 'Real France' need look no further than Brittany Ferries' selection of gites and cottages... But there is no need to break the bank when looking for a great holiday here, with Brittany Ferries now offering savings of up to 25% on ferry-inclusive cottage holidays in France.

With this offer, a family of four can enjoy a week away in Brittany during the forthcoming summer holidays from only £131 per person, including return ferry crossings with car.

Around twice the size of the UK but with the same population, it's no wonder that France feels so spacious, so open and so different. France is all about open roads and uncrowded countryside - and a chance to get back to nature. This is a land of 'art de vivre' where a slow-paced village lifestyle still reigns supreme, animated by friendly locals, colourful markets and fragrant boulangeries. 

Of course it's impossible to talk about France without mentioning the food and wine – yet while the cuisine needs little introduction, it's easy to overlook the great value-for-money offered by French cafes and restaurants, as well as the warm welcome they extend to families.  And days out in France are generally easier on the wallet too, with history, heritage, sport and adventure at every turn.

But every good holiday needs, above all, a good base – a home from home. Having your own place in France gives you the freedom and space to really relax and get away from it all.  Brittany Ferries Holidays offers hundreds of cottages situated throughout the authentic, unspoiled villages and countryside of western, 'Holiday' France, allowing everyone to embrace the varied gallic cultures and customs, rather than just being a typical tourist.

With the most extensive choice of ferry routes across the Channel, a modern and luxurious fleet, and over 30 years' experience of arranging these holidays; Brittany Ferries provides convenience as well as real peace of mind. Those still undecided on their plans for summer 2009 will still find plenty of choice, and bookings can be made simply and easily, by visiting www.brittanyferries.com/holidays or by phoning 0871 244 1444.
