Additional Information

Description of local area and activities: Its location makes it a perfect holiday spot for those wanting both the idyllic tranquillity of rural France together with the option of getting out and about and visiting the nearby towns and beaches. The nearest village is just three minutes drive (Reminiac) with its general store (including fresh baguettes and cakes), restaurant and bars. The nearest large town is mediaeval Malestroit, about five minutes away. Here you will find banks, supermarkets and restaurants in abundance.

The closest village is Reminiac -about one km away from Jaune, two hundred metres from Crème and two kilometres from Blanche and Orange - with the market towns of Guer, Malestroit, Ruffiac and Ploermel all within ten minutes drive.

The ancient city of Rennes is approximately forty minutes drive to the north-east whilst cosmopolitan Nantes is ninety minutes to the south. To the west, the fishing ports of Vannes and Damgan and their surrounding white sandy beaches are less than forty minutes by car.

The ports of St Malo, Caen and Cherbourg are one ish, two and a half and three hours drive respectively via generally deserted, toll free motorways. These run as far as Guer (ten minutes away) and are toll free. Calais is about five hours drive and the tolls add up to about thirteen pounds. Most (but not all) French toll booths take credit cards.

You can fly Gatwick to Nantes (BA and Flybe) in an hour for about £70 return. Flights also go from Luton (Ryan Air) and Manchester to Dinard (which is near the port of St Malo)

If you make a booking with us we can give you a number to quote which gives you preferential rates for P&O, Brittany Ferries and Euro Tunnel. We are told that the crossing prices are considerably less than if you book direct, however we suggest that you confirm this by getting other quotes as well.
