There are many beautiful walks and cycle rides you can undertake directly from the property, and the fantastic North Brittany beaches are within easy driving distance, as are many historic towns such as Dinan, Jugon-les-Lacs and Josselin. To get a flavour of the real Brittany we encourage our guests to experience lunch at one of the local auberges & visit one of the regular farmers markets in the area and stock up on home grown produce.

Continue on N12 until you reach the turning to N164. Take N164 for quite a while until you pass Merdrignac on your right. About 4 or 5 miles after here you pass a Peugeot garage and the road becomes a dual carriageway again. About a mile after the garage you will see a bridge over the road take the slip-road on the right – signposted Laurenan (N.B there is another turning before this also signed Laurenan – don't take this). Take the right turn at the top of the slip road and follow the road through Laurenan. In this village as you approach a house with a large mural, bear right – (it’s the D22) and follow this or about 4 miles until you reach the D792 crossroads. Opposite you will see a large hedge and also a peach coloured house....go straight over for about 150 metres – past the dustbins ….this is Le Village.......and take the first left turn between some houses.
