In the blink of an eye

1. In an old farm, in the bay of Cancale

« Les grands gîtes de Cancale »

Ideal for large families, the Grands Gîtes de Cancale can accommodate up to 24 people in a modern and warm atmosphere. Ostrea Lodge (14 beds) and Terra Lodge (10 beds) are in an old farmhouse featuring exposed stones, wood and natural materials. Very cosy! The bedrooms are upstairs and the living spaces on the ground floor. Some of you can prepare a meal together in the kitchen, which opens onto a large and comfortable lounge, and you can all take a seat around the large table to enjoy the meal. Cancale oysters make for a great starter, which you can collect on foot or by bike from La Houle port.

All of the four bedrooms open onto the ocean. The discreet marine-themed décor is a reminder of the omnipresence of the ocean. You’ll feel at home in the lounge, and you can play games in the garden.

6. Island life, opposite the Bréhat archipelago

Île à Bois

Fancy a little escape in an exceptional environment? Head to Île-à-Bois, a little gem in the Trieux estuary, opposite the Bréhat archipelago. The large family house on this private island, connected to the continent by a dyke, can sleep up to 16 people in a chic and cosy atmosphere. From the rooms, or snuggled in the sofas in the large lounge, you can admire the sea view. Children will love sleeping in the dormitory in the attic room. In front of the house, there is a stairway that goes down to the beach. Other creeks reveal themselves on the trails that cover the 15 ha of the island. Swimming, seafood collecting, walking through the umbrella pines or canoeing/kayaking are some of the activities on this little piece of paradise!
