St Marcel is situated in the southern part of Brittany close to the lovely chateaux towns of Josselin and Vannes. It was very important in the resistance movement in the 2nd world war and there is the famous resistance museum at St Marcel. The signing of the Treaty for the 100 year war with France and England took place at the La Madeleine church in Malestroit. Beaches are 20 minutes drive south either side of Vannes. There is a cycle track on the redundant railway that stretches across Morbihan. Each Friday evening during July and August there is a free live concert in the square in Malestroit and the market is on Thursday morning. The man made lake at Ploermel, 15 minutes drive, has a beach, water sports pool, slides and on the opposite bank, a 9 hole golf course open to the public.
