The Tours
My range of visits extends from Saint-Malo to Dinan via Dinard and the Rance estuary.
Everything is possible : whether you like “nature” tours to learn more about the fauna and flora of our region or visits with a more cultural or historical focus, I will enthusiastically share you the secrets of our beautiful region with you. If you wish to visit for a day, I can also offer you a lunch (a cosy break in a restaurant or a nice little dish to enjoy in the middle of nature).
