We are having such lovely clear nights in Brittany - No light pollution so you can actually see the planets with the naked eye! 

You can see Venus and Jupiter in the Western sky, with Mars in the East. 
Amazing!
(Venus is the brightest object, with Jupiter being to the left). 



It's always worth looking up when you are here! We were talking recently with a chap from the Astronomy society in Huddersfield, and he said because of the light pollution, he had never seen the Milky Way! He should come for a holiday here!!!
 
 
Why not bid for a 4 day break in April or May. Bidding starts at just £20!
