Midsummer cruise in the Channel: Roam the French and English coasts during an extra-long summer sailing holiday! Board the Thalassa in Le Havre before crossing to the Solent, then Swanage, Alderney, Mont Saint Michel, St Malo, Torbay and Brixham. Visit Dartmouth, Salcombe, Falmouth and the Isles of Scilly. Then make another crossing to the rugged coast of Brittany and visit Aber Wrach, Roscoff (ile de Batz) and/or Lezardrieux . After that, Thalassa will most likely sail downwind back east (via Guernsey, if time permits) to finish up this beautiful cruise in Boulogne. Depending on the wind and other conditions, the route of this expedition may be adjusted. Open to all Windseekers over 15 years of age.
Le Havre is a large north French maritime commercial and passenger port established in the early XVI century. The city in on the UNESCO World Heritage Site for its historical buildings and is considered a birthplace of impressionism. Walk in the steps of Monet and discover the places you know from modern art. Take a hiking tour, visit one of the nearby castles (chateau), the Graville abbey, see the hanging gardens or take a walk in one of the many city parks.
