FRED OLSEN🛳️ DRAMATIC COASTLINES OF FRANCE & BRITAIN

Beyond the delights of the island itself, Portland is also the gateway to a number of Dorset and Southern England's most scenic, and most iconic, attractions and destinations including Stonehenge, Bath and Salisbury Cathedral. Additionally, nearby there are a number of beautiful castles, such as Portland, Rufus and Sandfoot, as well as Nothe fort and Max Gate.

St Malo
Originally a fortified island, the walled city of St Malo is located at the mouth of the River Rance on the Brittany coast, and is now connected to the mainland by a 'Sillon' causeway. The walls were mainly rebuilt after the Second World War. The town is famous for its links with the seafarer Jacques Cartier, who set out from here to discover the New World in Canada, and who is buried in the Cathedral in Saint Malo
Honfleur
The charming town of Honfleur, with its cobblestone alleys, Calvados shops and timber-framed houses, has a fascinating history, having been first occupied by the Vikings in the ninth century. Its beauty has long attracted artists, with many masterpieces found in its collection of museums and galleries. One of the most notable is the Eugène Boudin Museum, named after Honfleur’s most famous artist who first introduced Claude Monet to outdoor painting. Honfleur is also known for being the last village to be liberated from German occupation during World War II following the D-Day landings, the largest and most complex airborne and amphibious military operation of all time. Honfleur is home to the D-Day Museum in Arromanches, the British Cemetery of Ranville, which houses over 2,500 war graves, and the famous Pegasus Bridge replica at Benouville.
Fowey
Fowey is a charming coastal town nestled on the south coast of Cornwall, with a scenic harbour where pastel-coloured cottages seemingly cling to one side, narrow winding streets and historic buildings. Indulge in a traditional Cornish cream tea at a charming local cafe, sample Cornish pasties and freshly caught seafood, and wander through the cobbled streets. The town has a rich maritime heritage, historically based around shipbuilding, fishing and trading; with tales of smugglers brought to life at landmarks like St. Catherine's Castle, Polruan Blockhouse and Jamaica Inn.
