Sightseeing
Unique experience for plant lovers. If you’re planning a visit in peak season, I thoroughly recommend that you book to go as early in the day as you can as it will be very busy in the middle of the day.

Lovely little coastal town, lots of restaurants and shops. Carpark at the top of the town with a 5 minute shuttle bus down the hill and, more importantly, back up the hill :)
Locals tip…it’s pronounced Fouy as in Bouy!
