Sitting just outside the historic centre of Vannes with the beach less than a kilometre away, this home makes the perfect base for exploring the coast of Brittany.

From exhilarating cycle rides (your thoughtful host has provided two bikes for you to use during your stay) to refreshing dips in the sea and sunset strolls along the shoreline, there’s everything you could need to experience the natural beauty of northwest France. And when you’re inspired to learn more about the region's rich history, make your way to the narrow cobbled streets and medieval gates of the town centre. You’ll find Cathédrale Saint-Pierre and the colourful half-timbered houses are just a short drive away. There are also lovely local restaurants and bars, as well as vibrant markets within easy reach – perfect for stocking up on fresh produce and French delicacies. And after a day full of fresh sea air, this home welcomes you to relax and enjoy its calm simplicity.

Open the doors from the living room and you’ll find the garden welcoming you to savour refreshing drinks and nourishing meals around the table. And when the weather draws you back inside, the living room provides a laid-back setting for sharing stories, reading and cosy movie nights.
