Touring Brittany from La Fontaine Rouillee Gites. Rental accommodation in central Brittany

For exploring Brittany, our centrally located gîtes provide the ideal solution. Close enough to access the major routes easily yet offering comfortable and tranquil refuge after a hard day’s sight-seeing! There is are enormous range of places to visit, we recommend you don’t miss:

The Emerald Coast with the rocky inlets and mussel beds of St Brieuc Bay, fashionable Pleneuf Val-Andre with its stunning long sandy beach and international standard golf course, and the picturesque coves filled with sailing boats between Erquy and Cap Frehel, where Fort la Latte has a magnificent cliff top perch amongst a wild moor land with amazing views.

Dinan, a beautiful medieval walled city with lots of good places to dine, cobbled streets leading down to its port, amazingly preserved old buildings, an excellent market, a castle museum, a selection of walking routes to follow around the original town walls and a bi-annual Fetes des Ramparts in July, that goes on all weekend.

Lac de Guerledan, one of Brittany's largest inland lakes with sandy beaches, pedalos, wind surfing, water skiing, boating, lake tours and the nearby Abbey de Bon Repose where sound & light shows are a regular feature of the long summer evenings and a Sunday morning farmer’s market runs from Easter until late autumn.

·	The prehistoric standing stones at Carnac; the thousands of ancient menhirs have free public winter access, and there is a visitor centre with formal tours available during summer months.

·	The Museum of Breton Resistance Saint Marcel, which illustrates the occupation and French resistance in Brittany during world war II

St Malo, not just a ferry port, visit its aquarium, one of the largest in France; then enjoy the views from the ramparts of the old town Intra Muros, both out to sea and inland. Just up the road is Cancale, considered by some to be the true oyster capital of the world, it’s certainly a good place to try them.

·	Josselin, a quaint medieval town of winding streets and individual shops dominated by its chateau, which offers castle tours and houses a doll museum. There is a good Saturday market and regular events throughout the year.

·	Pontivy, a pretty market town with a high street with lots of cafes and bars, it sits beside the Nantes to Brest canal, offering cyclists and walkers a level route in contrast with cliff paths! There is another Chateau, medieval quarter and Napoleonic squares.

·	There are many, many more places to visit. We keep up-to-date information for guests on-site and are happy to provide more ideas for days out relevant to specific interests and age-groups.
