Local Attractions
© Janice Reid 2007 - 2009
We are located just twenty minutes from the ancient town of Dinan, with its ramparts and gateways, has exceptional examples of corbelled and half- timbered 15/16th century houses, a belfry, churches and a convent. Here you can peruse the many shops and restaurants, or you may wish to visit the River Rance at Port Dinan, and amble along the riverside, where the views are breathtaking. There are boats, canoes and bicycles for hire and a regular riverboat service from the quay which takes you to the ancient fortress town of St. Malo, certainly worth a visit.
Alternatively, you will only be twenty minutes away from the inland lakes of Jugon-les-Lacs or
St-Launeuc. Both are beauty spots and have Bathing, Boating, and Fishing facilities.
If you wish to take a trip to the Seaside Beaches, La Brehaudais Gites is within easy reach of the sandy
un-crowded beaches of Dinard, St.-Jacut-de-la-Mer or St.-Cast-le -Guildo.
For even more stunning views and serious shopping opportunities you will find
St Brieuc just 30 min's away.
Another local attraction is the magnificent Mont St. Michel, Just seeing it close up takes your
breath away but you have to wonder through it's cobbled streets to really appreciate the
magnificence of the place.
Throughout the summer there are markets in many other surrounding towns and villages,
from 5 minutes away up to 1hrs drive away, many with stunning Tudor houses and cobbled streets,
all well worth a visit.
