Leinster, Connaught, Munster and Ulster
Ireland, the most westerly country in Europe, was born out of water and still lives in symbiosis with water, an element which has helped to forge its personality and character and create the spectacular beauty of its landscapes.
The sea is always present, or not far away, reaching inland to form deep fjords and rias, wearing away the cliffs and sculpting the rock. The island's interior continues to echo this surprising juxtaposition of earth and water with innumerable lakes of all shapes and sizes, hills punctuated with an abundance of rivers and streams which cut through vast swathes of peatlands. Visitors are pleasantly taken aback by the quiet tranquillity which permeates through the countryside, once you leave the towns behind, of which there are few.
And then there is the light, which justifies Ireland's name as the « Emerald Isle ». In fact, you should say lights, as they change so often, depending on the weather and the time of day: but always subtle changes, in an infinite range of colours and hues, creating sumptuous skies and landscapes, the decor for a gigantic spectacle, which never ends...
Ireland invites you on a journey. Fantastic coastlines which are simply breathtaking, say nothing of the majestic castles and beautiful country houses. How can you not admire the gardens, with their melange of exotic plants and lush vegetation, helped in no small way by the oceanic climate! Fall under the charm of the music and folk songs, inherited from a bygone age, and experience the warm welcome and friendly atmosphere of the Pubs!!
Visitors to Ireland can choose the holiday they want. The options are varied and numerous,
with a whole range of activities, from river or sea fishing, to surfing, walking and hiking, cyclotourism, river cruising, golf, horse riding... And don't forget culture: discover the country's rich heritage and tumultuous yet moving history. There are lots of other interesting things to do, not forgetting tasting the local food and drink, and experiencing Irish traditions and folklore (www.discoverireland.com/fr/ireland-travel-offers).
So, if you want to get away from it all, if you are looking for a genuine, authentic experience, Ireland is waiting for you, with open arms!!
