French tourists sample Manx cuisine

Cruise liner L'Austral brings over 264 passengers

Cruise ship passengers were treated to a mouth-watering display of Manx food and drink when they visited the Island this week (11 May).

Many of those on board the liner L'Austral came ashore in Douglas for tours around the Island, before sampling the local cuisine at a reception in the Sea Terminal supported by local firms - including Isle of Man Creamery which provided samples of cheese.

The French tourists were given a Celtic musical salute from piper Paul Davenport.

Chris Cave joined passengers for their special Manx welcome:
