Among the striking castles and chateau gardens of Sarzeau, this contemporary home combines contemporary living with historical surroundings.

With a beach just 300m away, there's no better way to spend a day than sunbathing on the sand, or trying your hand at windsurfing or sailing with a few lessons. If you're still seeking out natural beauty spots, the Morbihan Gulf is a must-visit.

After a day of sand and surf, head home to cool off in the outdoor shower. Pop to the local village to pick some French ingredients to cook on the barbecue - there's no better way to spend an evening than an alfresco dinner on the patio.

When darkness falls, head indoors to curl up in front of the fireplace with a good book, glass of wine in hand.
