About this trip

Gastronomy Tour of Brittany – May 12-19, 2025


Your Guide: Simon Renault


Join us on this trip through Brittany, France, where you will experience the richness of the Breton “terroir.” The tour is an exploration of the food of this region of France, from the farm to the table. 


Brittany's culinary wealth comes from generations of humble peasant cooking. Whether ingredients come from the farm, the field and orchard, or from the seacoast, they are all valued for their quality. Each meal is served with pride. 


You will witness how people's passion for their food heritage translates into culinary delights and how centuries of this relationship with farm-fresh food has created local styles and specialties. We will learn which apple varieties make the best hard cider, how salt became a trademark of Breton baking, and how an innkeeper on Mont Saint Michel earned a reputation for wood-fired omelets and salt lamb in the late 1800s.


You will also meet with oyster farmers, visit age-old farmers markets and tour one of the oldest operating flour mills in France. And of course, we will taste the famous buckwheat galette in a "creperie," along with a cup of world-renowned Breton hard cider. 


Brittany, known as the Celtic part of France, has a rich and deep culture. This tour will be a delight for the senses while teaching you much about a culture that’s proud of its rich food history.

Traveling can be stressful, but we take the worry out of travel by handling all the hard bits for you. We do the planning, book the hotels, and reserve your restaurant. We know the villages to visit, the vineyards to tour, and the cooking classes to attend. We set all this up for you. Then we make your trip easy. First we pick you up at the airport in a small van and whisk you to your hotel. We travel with you from place to place, from activity to activity, and finally deliver you back to the airport for your flight home.

I loved this trip. The other participants were interesting and fun, and the sites we visited were interesting and somewhat off the beaten track. Our guide, Alberto, couldn't have been better. He was knowledgeable, and his ability to spot and show us tiny frogs and other things that I never would have seen on my own was fantastic. Our driver was competent and able to drive us safely and apparently fearlessly in challenging locatons. The lodgings were all excellent. I have traveled with Travel Fever before and have always been satisfied. I'm so glad I went! Kathy Greve

What a wonderful trip! It couldn't have been better. I enjoyed every aspect of it: the variety of activities, the beauty of the city and its people and plant-life, the local presenters and all the people leading and on the tour, as well as the comfort and quality of where we stayed and what we ate. I am definitely hoping to join another "travel fever tours" trip in the near future!

Great travel leaders (Bob and Cicely) who attended to every detail, from hotel to food and beyond. The hotel was a great choice, and both Bob and the hotel helped me out by agreeing to move me to a quieter room. Edwin was a fabulous person and Alpine guide. I would trust and follow him anywhere. Lots of flexibility was built in to accommodate the guests' needs and abilities during the walks. I would do this trip again as there was a lot left to see and do in the region.

Thank you to Bob, Don and Betsy! Thank you to fellow travelers all. There is not one who did not enrich my experience with their company. "Enrichment" is the word, too, for every day along the Camino and every evening spent in good company with excellent food and wine before retiring to a comfortable bed. Every place we lodged was impeccably clean and welcoming and sometimes a breathtaking surprise for charm and living history. I had no particular expectations and joined on a whim. I returned refreshed in body and soul from the days of being outdoors both in quiet walking contemplation and in companionship with encouraging new friends.
