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.

"Another wonderful holiday in the gite, it is so peaceful here, lovely to wake to the dawn chorus of birds and in our own time without the busy schedules back home. We have discovered lots of cycle routes this year and have enjoyed our cycle rides immensely as you know. We are very sad to be leaving today and look forward to our return next year". Ruth and Steve
