Welcome to Les Jonquilles our Brittany Holiday Gite.
Les Jonquilles is a pretty self-catering gite in the heart of Southern Brittany, traditionally built in local granite and situated on the outskirts of the charming commune of Le Guerno. It stands on an acre of well maintained land, and is accessed by a private road, with ample secure parking. It is in a very peaceful and private situation making it the ideal location in which to sample the fresh taste of rural France and you will be welcomed personally by the resident owners Paul and Lorraine who live on site.

Our part of Brittany boasts its own microclimate giving longer warmer summers and milder spring and autumn seasons. Situated between the Gulf of Morbihan and the Loire Valley, we enjoy one of the best climates to be found in France and our sunshine rate rivals many of the more southern areas.

On the sunny south facing patio there is a table, chairs and barbeque for al fresco dining, or if you just want to lie in the sun, then take advantage of the sun loungers and a book and perhaps a glass of wine (or two) and relax in the garden. The only sounds you will hear are the numerous birds in the garden, the cows mooing in adjacent fields and occasionally the soft hum of tractors in the distance - it really is another world.
There is a table tennis table for the more energetic and enough space for the children to play ball games and run around and in addition there is a large enclosed garden with swings for children. There are also various board games in the gite.
For the walkers amongst you we have a selection of books with detailed walks in the area that range from 4kms to around 16kms.

| "We have had a truly lovely holiday and found the gite very comfortable. The surrounding area offers many exciting days out, but nothing will beat Bella's first experience of paddling in the sea at Pen Lan. You have made us feel very welcome and eager to return in the future."

Long Lets
Les Jonquilles has on a number of occasions been host to house hunting guests for periods of up to 4 months at a time. If you are considering buying in the area please speak to us, we are very competitive and are able to put you in contact with local agents.
This is an enchanting area of France, and after holidaying in the Southern areas of France for many years, we came here and absolutely fell in love with Brittany and our dream has now become reality.
