Press Release
FROM GREAT BRITAIN TO GREAT BRITTANY
Date: 23 July 2018
Ferry operator DFDS has teamed up with Brittany Tourism to launch new offers and discounts to local Brittany attractions, exclusive to DFDS customers on its Newhaven to Dieppe route.
Just three hours from Dieppe, Brittany has plenty to offer both families and couples, with a lively city centre, beautiful scenery, and some of the world’s oldest standing architecture. It is an ideal base from which to explore the Emerald Coast and the many little hamlets in the countryside, as well as the cities of Dinan, Dinard, Cancale, Combourg, Fougères and Saint Malo.
Families can enjoy cruising the calm waters of the River Rance with Croisieres Chateaubrind, who are offering DFDS customers a 10% discount on river trips. Or, if a ‘voyage into space’ is more to your liking, how about taking a journey of discovery at Planetarium de Bretagne, with 10% off all tickets prices in July and August.
For couples seeking a romantic getaway, benefit from the reduced entry fee and stroll the Jardins de la Ballue close to the Mont-Saint-Michel, overlooking the Couesnon Valley. Local gem Jardin Bretagne B&B is offering a third night free when two are purchased, plus café and garden entry discounts to DFDS customers. With 24 themed gardens, it is certainly a place of tranquillity and inspiration.
More exclusive offers ranging from discounted entrance fees for museums, gardens and historical sites, to hotel stays, river trips, sporting activities, and food and drink, can be found at dfds.co.uk.
With three departures per day, Newhaven to Dieppe crossings start from just £49 for two people each way and £57 for four people each way.
