Hilltop holiday
cottage in Brittany, between Brest and Quimper.
This cottage is in a peaceful
countryside location, on the edge of the small village of Quimerch where
you will find a small supermarket, a bar, a boulangerie/epicerie, tabac,
butchers and a church. Close by is the larger and pretty village of Le
Faou which has a full range of shops and a supermarket.
There are many excellent
restaurants in the area which all offer very good value and a wide range
of menus.
If you enjoy walking, the area
has many beautiful coastal walks and there are also opportunities for
rambles in the countryside. The beaches are sandy and uncrowded with safe
swimming and sailing and are 10 miles away along country lanes. Quimper is
approximately 20 miles south, an easy drive down the by-pass.
For children, there are small
play parks in the area, a small zoo and an inland lake with pedaloes etc.
You may also like to take a boat trip or visit many of the fascinating
towns and villages which are not besieged with tourists - yet!
If you enjoy fishing, Chateaulin
is only 5-6 miles away where the River Aulne ranks number one in the whole
of France for salmon fishing. Other species of fish also provide good
sport.
For cyclists The Circuit de
L'Aulne bicycle race is famous world-wide for its quality and diversity.
Night-clubs and a hectic night
life are not to be found here, but if you are looking for a relaxing
holiday in beautiful unspoilt countryside, then this is for you.
The cottage is split-level and
detached and most rooms are on the upper floor. It is located on a hilltop
and from the house patio and garden there are far reaching views over
rolling countryside.
The cottage can accommodate six
people, plus a baby.
