And you will not have seen half of our tresors (all of this at max 70 kilometers)... Josselin, La Chapelle d'Auray, Belle île en Mer, La gacilly... for your next visit perhaps? :)

This a nice program for a day long visit which will please olders and youngsters.

Leaving the Manor, take the direction of Le Guerno Branfere. Half an hour to reach this animals sanctuary created by Nicolas Hulot a well known TV producer. Animals are kept in very good conditions, the landscape is nice, the walk is very pleasant in this magnificiant parc.

Don't miss the bird show, very impressive. (every 2 hours) An exceptional choregraphy of birds of different kind, that you can even touch when they walk around the people.

There is even a space with small goats where young kids can play and touch the animals.

And for the olders an acrobatic path in nets at the top of trees.

To eat there is not very interesting. Why not taking this opportunity to visit the small village of Le Guerno, few minutes ago from Branfere, where you will find the small templar church interesting. A lunch at the Creperie La Gargouille, where we always have been very pleased to be.

Then you can carry on driving to Rochefort en Terre, very nice town from midle age with a lot of old streets to visit, and handcrafts to be bought.

A day without the Ocean, but you will not regret it!

The Manor is located a few minutes away from La Roche Bernard, the smallest parish of France, and beautifull cite de caractere (this means an exceptional little city having a particular charm).

Very attractive,the city of La Roche Bernard is known by its little harbour on the vilaine river, a few kilometers away from Arzal dam through which one can access the Ocean.

A nice place where beautifull treks are numerous.

But today I'm inviting you to cruise on the Villaine river with the yellow Boats

A very good way to discover La Roche Bernard and its bridges differently.

And discover the Vilaine river the best way possible

Up to Arzal Dam and its lock giving access to the ocean

A very nice journey

On you way back don't forget to visit the center of La Roche Bernard and its craft men (glass blower, wood working, ceramics...).

La Roche is a very nice town with an easy going atmospher, where time does not appear to be important.

This is a great program for a day long visit. A full day filled with culture and unforgetable landscape. This is one of our prefered journey from the manor. When leaving the hotel go direction to La Baule then follow Guerande. As an old fortified city, Guerande offers multiple interests.

With a big touristic population, Guerande is very active during summer.

In the town center, we recommend to eat an ice cream at la Fraiseraie, our prefered ice cream shop...

Then take the road to Turballe (carte)

Take your time, between Le Croisic and Piriac the scenery coast is just unique. A walk or a bycicle ride along the cost paths, a picnic with a breathtaking view on the ocean, or a bath in the multiple preserved creeks. Make this day unique and appreciate it as much as we do.

This is one of our prefered walk, 20 minutes away from Domaine de Bodeuc. On the express way from la Roche Bernard en route to Vannes, exit at Billiers, and follow billiers, then Pen Lan. A wild landscape, where one can discover a 360º on the Ocean and the Villaine river. One can walk around the peninsula, follow the coast path (where some Menhirs can be seen), and enjoy the atmosphere of this wild and protected coast. A very nice treck for nature and ocean lovers. Later you could stop at the domaine of Rochevillaine for a coffee (a very nice 4* Hotel with a panoramic view) or more simply for some mussels at the Bistrot du Port.

Yesterday the club of the most beautiful baies in the worls selectel La Baule as a part of their portfolio. Today, 33 baies are selected around the world, the Mont saint michel being one of them. A very nice success for La Baule!
