The Brittany / Ille-et-Vilaine region

Le Courtil du Moulin is on the border of Ille-et-Vilaine and Cote d'Amour, not far into Brittany from Normandy

The emerald coast of Ille-et-Vilaine stretches from the bay of Mont St Michel to St Briac sur Mer linking the ports of Cancale, St Malo and Dinard.

The old walled town of St Malo is one of the area's great attractions. The rampart walls conceal a charming town known for good restaurants and pavement cafés.
The regional capital, Rennes has an elegant old quarter with a huge Saturday market. There are superb oysters from Cancale and excellent golf in Dinard.

Côtes-d'Armor lies on the North coast of Brittany. It has a rugged coastline with steep cliffs and is dotted with quaint, medieval towns.

Dinan sits on the river Rance with the houses of the old town clustered together behind the ramparts. The ancient ramparts and cobbled streets in the river port of Dinan are well worth a visit, Weekly market day is Thursday. Music fans head for St Brieuc in September for the popular Breton rock festival with a host of internationally renowned artists
Sample the fresh shellfish - the Côtes d’Armor is the largest European producer of scallops.

“A great rural location for getting round NW Brittany and Manche area” Le Courtil du Moulin provides a quite rural location for trips around the area, with the coast at St Malo and Dinard and the North Brittany coast being accessible, easily. Rennes is the nearest large city (if a little disappointing being largely a commercial and administrative centre). The house is on a quiet road with only a few passing vehicle, mainly agricultural. There are several small villages just a few kilometers away, providing convenience stores, bakers, butchers, small 'everyday' restaurants, post office, bar-tabac etc. We cycled to all of them and non are more than 20 minutes ride. Supermarkets are slightly further (30 minutes by car) but all close enough. The canal cycle-way and tow-path is about 20 bike ride away and you can hire canoes there. The house is of post war construction, probably dating from the 1960s or 70s and provides a simple but comfortable base. The essentials are all there but some are maybe in need of a little modernization (the fridge in particular)! The lounge is comfortable; the kitchen (corridor style) has the essentials and we cooked many meals there. The three bedrooms are simple but comfortable and the single bathroom/toilet/bath-shower is adequate. The garden is excellent, large and a relaxing place to spend time. The garden is gated but the usual care would need to be taken with young children. Part of the garden is un-fenced down to a small stream. We spent three weeks (with teenagers!) at Le Courtil du Moulin and had a very enjoyable holiday. The area provides plenty to do with the combination of towns such as St Malo and Dinan and the beautiful rural surrounds, with the coast not far away.
