We are situated in a peacful rural hamlet in Cotes D' Armor, approximately 12 miles of Guingamp.
Quiet country lanes, standing stones and lakes made for a relaxing holiday, centrally situated for multitude of beaches suiting all tastes; sandy, busy, rocky, pebble,picturesque... within 1 1/2 hours of the main ports of roscoff and St. Malo, and the 'Ryanair' airports of Dinard and Brest.

Our nearest proper town Guingamp is a lovely working town situated in th Trieux vally, the square in the centre was built in the 18th centure and you can sit outside one of the cafes and watch the world go by the renaissance style fountain, unless it is saturday, when the market will be in full swing.

We have lots of bars and restaurants to choose from, for those special evenings out.
Our local supermarket is only ten minutes away from the house, same distance if you would like to visit the local swimming pool, which also has a bar right next door to it.

Twenty minutes from the house is a beautiful lake near Corlay, I already mentioned about fishing is allowed, or you could just go for a nice walk around the lake.

The Climate in Brittany, from March / April time we start getting much warmer weather, most of the time the weather is quite pleasant right through to October time, it can get a bit windy at times.
Trieux which twist and turns through the town, is very attractive, you can also discover Trieux in a canoe starting at the town mill leisure activities in the area include tennis,fishing,walking & horse - riding, mountain biking, etc. There are two major events which are a tribute to Breton culture.

These are " Gouel ar Bugale Vreizh" in July, which is a parade of few hundred children dressed in traditional costume, and the "Saint - Loup" festival, in August turns Guingamp into the capital of Breton dance and music for a week.

Other places of interest:
Pontivy is in two halves - the medieval town with 15th centure chateau overlooking the river, and the regimented streets of the old renamed Nappoleonville. it was a military base, the town arund du Martray, has overhanging wooden houses and a good Monday market. The nearest big town St Brieuc is a truely busy place,and complemented by the best hypermarkets, and lovely beaches.

Quimper:
Morlaix owes its wealth to its maritime history and the prestige, of the 13th & 18th centure.

Carhaix - plouguer is in the centre of Finistere the next department, by the beautiful Nantes/Brest canal, between the Montagne Noires, it is a cultural centre of Brittany filled with tranquillity of the countryside.

St Nicolas du Pelem area

Driving is a pleasure on wonderful quiet roads which wind through tree lined valleys and sleepy roads & villages.

Lac de Guerledan:
Activities include fishing, horse riding, swimming, water sports, restaurants, cycling, rambling and bird watching, Close by is the abbey Bon Repos situated on the side of the Nantes - Brest canal and the beautiful Balvet river.

Day permits can be purchased at our local news agents, the nearest fishing lake to our place is in Corlay, stocked with trout, fishing season starts from July, ends in September.

At the abbey of Bon - Repos they held an open air play in August the 3rd, 5th, 9th, 10th, and the 11th, the play is about the past of Conomor, and Saint - Gelven, ( LE PAS DE CONOMOR and SAINT - GELVEN, fantastic!! the reality of the play has to seen to fully appreciate it.

This area is perfect for country ramblers eager to explore new places, and if you are after a much more interesting walks !! why not try going to Perros - Guirec, this has to be the most amazing of Brittay's coastal walks,following the Sentier des Douaniers, the famous coastal path from Perros - Guirec to Ploumanac'h.
West of Perros - Guirec, the rocks of the pink Granite coast takes on the most bizarre of profiles, their rounded deep coloured forms contrasting boldly with the azure sea.

The 'Pink Granite' rock is, in its natural state, a sort of dusky red colour and here fissures and generally been the archittect of the most eccentric of sea - scapes.

This is a popular holiday area, and the path is well - known, so you are unlikely to have the scene to yourself., nevertheless, this is a walk that should not be missed.

I think , this place can also be a painters heaven, with so many beautiful places to pick from.
St. Nicolas Du Pelem is an artists paradise with wonderful light and picture at every turn, Breton tradition believes and Legends are an integral part of their culture, places which are often unique where the world is in perfect harmony with nature.
