I can recommend Brittany for any butterfly enthusiasts wanting a relatively short overseas trip. I saw a lot more than I was expecting.

(Although I expect it was asking a bit much, especially in view of the number of species seen, I was hoping for a Camberwell Beauty - The search goes on!)

All the best
