    [description] => 

Known locally as ‘The Land of a Thousand Lakes’, La Brenne harbours a rich tapestry of habitats including lakes and ponds, marshes, deciduous woods, dry heathland and farmland. This tour will be guided by local leader Emilie Mitchell, who has extensive knowledge and a passion for La Brenne, having lived and worked there for many years, helping make our tour so very special. Though rich in interest, La Brenne is not an extensive area and most habitats are within a short drive of our hotel at Mézières, so the wildlife days which will mainly be concentrating on birds, will be relaxed. We will also include some cultural elements in this holiday with visits to two châteaux in the nearby Loire Valley, plus a tour and tasting at a small independent vineyard. This is also an ideal trip for the budding French speaker who wants to practise French while enjoying the autumnal wildlife of this quiet and little known wildlife-rich part of France. Emilie is French, but is married to fellow Naturetrek tour leader (and Englishman) Jason Mitchell, so while the aim of this holiday is to conduct it in French is so far as is possible, Emilie can switch into fluent English if needed!

  • Learn and practise French with our French speaking guide and optional tutored lessons
  • Enjoy the autumnal wildlife in this quiet, picturesque corner of France
  • Cultural highlights include Châteaux Valençay and Villandry, and visit to a vineyard
[introduction] => A 7-day holiday for aspiring French speakers to improve their language skills, whilst enjoying the autumn wildlife and cultural visits of this quiet part of France.

What does this mean?

Highlights

  • Learn and practise French with our French speaking guide and optional tutored lessons
  • Enjoy the autumnal wildlife in this quiet, picturesque corner of France
  • Cultural highlights include Châteaux Valençay and Villandry, and visit to a vineyard

Summary

Known locally as ‘The Land of a Thousand Lakes’, La Brenne harbours a rich tapestry of habitats including lakes and ponds, marshes, deciduous woods, dry heathland and farmland. This tour will be guided by local leader Emilie Mitchell, who has extensive knowledge and a passion for La Brenne, having lived and worked there for many years, helping make our tour so very special. Though rich in interest, La Brenne is not an extensive area and most habitats are within a short drive of our hotel at Mézières, so the wildlife days which will mainly be concentrating on birds, will be relaxed. We will also include some cultural elements in this holiday with visits to two châteaux in the nearby Loire Valley, plus a tour and tasting at a small independent vineyard. This is also an ideal trip for the budding French speaker who wants to practise French while enjoying the autumnal wildlife of this quiet and little known wildlife-rich part of France. Emilie is French, but is married to fellow Naturetrek tour leader (and Englishman) Jason Mitchell, so while the aim of this holiday is to conduct it in French is so far as is possible, Emilie can switch into fluent English if needed!
