The Region:
The area of Northern Brittany offers many different things to do and historical places to see. We are close to Mont St Michel, the world famous town and church built on a rock just off shore. The beautiful walled town and coastal resort of St Malo is only a 40 monute drive, as is the pretty Medieval town of Dinan. There are fabulous sandy beaches everywhere on the Emerald coast near Dinard and for seafood lovers, the gourmet resort of Cancale.
We are 10 mins drive from the lovely Forest and lake of Villecartier, which is excellent for walking and mountain biking, and in season there are pony and boat rides available. There are different markets every day of the week in the nearby towns and several good restaurants..
