What is a TimeTrails tour?

It's all about the questions on one of my tours. The more questions you ask, the better!

Six Recommended Places to Stay

Image
I often receive messages asking about great places to stay when taking a Timetrails tour and over the last two years I've featured some lovely places. Owing to the way these pages work some of my earlier recommendations have vanished into the deep distant past and you may have missed them. I am therefore bringing my favourite six recommendations together so you can see them all in one place. If you simply need Bed and Breakfast accommodation, look at the chambres d’h ôtes or maison d’h ôtes. For a self-catering holiday rental, look at the Gites So, here goes (and they're in no particular order) 1) La Charbonniére Mohon La Charbonniére Mohon - is a charming and comfortable house offering chambres d’h ôtes (B&B) in countryside close to the village of Mohon. Set on the eastern edge of Lanou é e forest in central Brittany, you'll be sure of a friendly welcome from your host, Cazzie.   La Charbonniére is very cosy, offering a range of twin and double, en-suite accomm

Small groups mean a better experience

    Over recent weeks we've been asked why we limit our tour group size to a maximum of seven guests. There are two reasons for doing this. Firstly, most of the sites we visit are not established tourist attractions and, therefore,have very limited places for parking vehicles (sometimes requiring us to park as safely as we can on verges). For this reason we like to ensure there are no more than three cars on each tour.   The second reason is that keeping our groups small means we can focus more on the needs and questions of our guests. Our tours provoke lots of questions so we like to spend some time exploring the answers with you. Experience shows us that a group of six is perfect for these types of discussions and debates.     #brittany #brittanyholiday #archaeologytour #archaeology

Take a walk with an archaeologist. Join me as I visit some of the fascinating prehistoric sites of Brittany. From July 2021 I will be offering a range of half-day and full-day guided tours in the Breton countryside. Faites une promenade avec un archéologue. Rejoignez-moi pour visiter certains des sites préhistoriques fascinants de la Bretagne. A partir de juillet 2021 je proposerai une gamme de visites guidées à la demi-journée et à la journée dans la campagne bretonne.  Veuillez noter que dans un avenir prévisible, toutes les visites seront en anglais. Brittany is rightly famous for some of the most spectacular prehistoric sites you'll find anywhere in Europe, from the awesome alignments of megaliths at Carnac to the beautifully carved interior of Gavrinis in the Gulf of Morbihan. Some of these sites are open to the public as paid attractions with museum displays and plenty of memorabilia on sale. You can, of course, visit these as and when you wish without the need for a speciali
