With the new year in full swing and winter showing no signs of letting up<\/a>, many are daydreaming about escaping Ireland’s grey skies for sun-soaked summer destinations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And now Aer Lingus <\/a>has just made that easier. The airline has announced the return of its popular summer services from Dublin Airport<\/a> to Rennes and Brest in France, operated exclusively by Emerald Airlines.<\/p>\n

These seasonal routes, running once weekly on Saturdays from May 30 to August 29, offer direct and convenient access to two of Brittany’s most charming destinations <\/a>in northwestern France.<\/p>\n

Both Rennes and Brest boast a mix of “vibrant culture, coastline and cuisine”.<\/p>\n

Ian Lough, Head of Commercial at Emerald Airlines said: “We are delighted to be welcoming back our summer services from Dublin to both Rennes and Brest. These routes proved popular with customers last year and offer a convenient gateway to Brittany<\/a>, allowing passengers to explore its vibrant culture, coastline and cuisine. We look forward to welcoming passengers onboard very soon!”<\/p>\n

Flights will operate once weekly on Saturdays from May 30 to August 29, with Dublin to Rennes departing at 3.10pm and returning from Rennes at 6.50pm, and Dublin to Brest departing at 2pm with the return from Brest at 5.45pm.<\/p>\n
