Brittany is the prow of France, jutting into the Atlantic Ocean it has some of the best scenery around. The pink granite coastline offers an infinite variety of landscape - rocky headlands, tall cliffs, secluded coves, fine sheltered harbors, countless islands and wide sandy beaches. Resort towns with stately granite villas alternate with charming fishing villages of modest whitewashed houses. Tremendous tides recede hundreds of yards, laying bare broad sandy beaches, oyster beds and small fishing ports.

For people interested in out of season holidays the coastline is magnificent to walk we have also five different walks from the gites ranging from an easy half hour to a two hour hike through beautiful countryside and woods. The local beach at St Efflam has an excellent water sports centre where you can hire dinghies, sand yachts or try your hand at wind surfing. Tennis and horse riding are within 5 minutes drive. For the real French flavour we recommend Lannion market which is every Thursday morning and Plestin market which is every Sunday morning. For Places to visit in the ‘Things to Do’.
