Un mélange unique de tradition, d’histoire, de paysages spectaculaires et d’activités de plein-air à vous couper le souffle.

  • Parc National de Killarney, Comté de Kerry

    Une Irlande authentique

    La Côte Ouest a un côté romantique qu’on ne trouve nulle part ailleurs en Irlande. Elle peut se vanter d’avoir une beauté naturelle sans égal, et un côté sauvage lié à la culture, les traditions et les habitants de la région. Depuis les hautes falaises qu’on trouve dans les comtés de Donegal et Clare, sans cesse battues par les vagues de l’Atlantique, à la beauté tranquille du Parc National de Killarney ou du Chemin de Beara, la Côte Ouest vous donnera maintes occasions de vous évader et de faire face à la nature dans toute sa splendeur. Ici, vous pourrez randonner en montagne, prendre le bateau vers des îles du bout du monde, explorer de petites baies tranquilles, ou découvrir des paysages anciens comme le Burren. Encore plus important, vous pourrez faire l’expérience d’une culture et de traditions authentiques et bien vivantes, notamment dans les Gaeltacht, ces régions où l’on parle encore le gaélique. Ne manquez pas de faire la fête lors d’un ceili (bal avec danse irlandaise) ou de participer à l’un des nombreux festivals qui célèbrent l’histoire ou la culture de cette région fascinante. La région est aussi idéale pour se relaxer et se ressourcer, par exemple dans un joli petit village de pêcheurs, ou lors d’un week-end gourmand dans la capitale culinaire de l’Irlande, Kinsale.

    La région de la Côte Ouest inclut tout ou partie des comtés suivants : Sligo, Leitrim, Galway, Mayo, Donegal, Southwest Offaly, Tipperary North, West Cork, Cork City, Kerry, Clare et Limerick.
