Home description
PELLAN VIHAN is Breton for ‘Little Hill’ and is, as the name suggests, on a little hill, surrounded by woods and fields, a few hundred yards from Lac de Bel Air. Very quiet and peaceful the fields are, at times, full of a profusion of wild flowers. We call our field ‘butterfly field’ because of the variety of butterflies that are there all summer. Bird life abounds and is particularly noticeable and vocal in May and June.
If you go down to our lake in our wood at dusk and keep very quiet you have a very good chance of glimpsing the wild deer. There are also wild boar, but although we have seen signs of them and on one occasion heard one as it left rather rapidly, we have not yet seen them.
Artists will love the dramatic skies in all weather. On clear nights the stars are magical as there is no light pollution. If you just want to laze around there are, apart from your own terrace, plenty of places where you can enjoy peace and quiet.
