Overview

Ireland

Ireland, a European El Dorado, currently boasts one of the highest GDPs in the European Union. Gone is the image of the famine-stricken island whose people fled to the New World. Today, people settle in Dublin (and elsewhere) to enjoy life in conviviality and modernity. You can go there to do thalassotherapy or take a trip into nature, play golf or enjoy a stay in a country house. You will definitely return home enraptured!!!

pros

  •  The wild and well-preserved nature offers truly exotic scenery.
  •  Sports, festivals, nature: Irish tourism comes in many forms.

cons

  •  The humid weather does not always allow you to explore the country as much as you'd like to.

Our Editorial team's advice

The megalithic site of Newgrange is known worldwide for its alignment with the rays of the rising sun during the winter solstice. It is the only moment in the year when the funerary chamber is furtively lit by daylight. Be aware that the site is only accessible, on this occasion, to a lucky winner chosen at random in a lucky draw.
During your next trip to Ireland, do not forget to go to the Brú na Bóinne tourism office in Meath county to fill out the registration form (no distance registration).

To fish salmon or trout, a government permit is required. It is issued on the spot by the 'Fisheries Boards' and retailers of fishing equipment. You may be asked to pay fishing royalties calculated per fishing rod and per day, so ask before casting your hook!
Hunters should request their arms importation permit two months prior to the date of entry, at the National Parks and Wildlife Service of Dublin. Telephone: (01) 661 31 11. (01) 661 31 11.

On a different note, if you plan on relocating to Ireland, make sure that you register your UK-registered vehicle within one week of arriving to reside in Ireland. Your car could be impounded if you fail to comply.

The colours of Ireland

The western coast of Ireland is lined by fishing villages of brightly-coloured houses. The colours often vary from village to village. In Kinsale, Cahermore, Allihies or Eyeries, blue alternates with red, yellow, apple green or purple and sometimes even pink. The romantics see this as a maritime tradition. Whilst at sea the sailors could always keep ...
