This two storied stone and slate home with its Breton red door, shutters and hanging custom forged light, Le Coq Noir, is in the center of our small village. Our home is old world with modern comforts. You enter a large living/dining area that leads you to the modern kitchen. Outside the attached garage is the decked terrace with BBQ and teak tables and chairs. Stone walls, a willow fence, flowering pots give you a summers get a way. Upstairs are the modern baths and double bedrooms. Here, we have all that you need for a holiday near the sea and yet away from the crowds. Free parking right by the house in the village square, in front of the marie, or village town hall. The church is right across the street and is famous for its saint Pompee in her crypt.

Across the street and down a bit is the town bar/coffee shop with our market next door. Pascal has all the bits and bobs you may need at a moments notice. Our village baker is exceptional and has his artisanal designation as well as being a patisserie, waistlines...beware! A hair salon rounds village life up to be all inclusive and close enough to walk.

Just past the church is the football pitch, and tennis courts. As you walk down the Rue des Etangs, you are on your way to our two ponds, with the perfect picnic or frisbee throwing meadow inbetween. Feed the ducks or just lay back and enjoy the sun. Keep on walking and you are at our tidal river, the Jaudy. Walk along the river up to the posted kayak school for lessons. Another walk thru town in the other direction will take you to Castle Du, Roman earthworks.

Here in this part of Brittany you are close to everything you could look for in a holiday, cycling, walking the many footpaths, dining at the seaside and enjoying our open air markets.

The house with all its comforts, modern amenities and yet old world charm leaves you feeling like, for awhile, you, too, have had a home in the Cotes d' Armor.

Cultural Sites/Gardens

Leaving the charming port of Paimpol and its’ cobblestone alleys and chic shops you can drive north, following signs, to catch the ferry to the lovely lIe de Brehat. This is an archipelago of two main islands separated at high tide. Called the island of” flowers and pink granite rocks” the lovely stone cottages and lush gardens are buffered by the mild micro-climate of the warm Gulf Stream. Since no cars are allowed excepting the very small farm tractors, it is an ideal walking or cycling site for the whole family. Be sure to explore the Brehat blown glass works while there. Service by ferry (just a 10 min trip, unless you opt for the tour of the islands) is operated by Compagnie Les Vedettes de Brehat at www.vedettesdebrehat.com Tel. 02 96 55 79 50
