Description
What a perfect location for this farmhouse amidst rolling fields yet on the doorstep of the beautiful Côte du Granit Rose. A mere 20 minutes drive from the award-winning seaside resort of Perros Guirec, this traditional Breton farmhouse is close to the picturesque Leguer valley and perfect for exploring the chateaux, forests and lakes of central Brittany. You’ll be spoilt for choice with the activities and attractions on offer in the surrounding Côte du Granit Rose with its marvellous sandy beaches and great tumbles of pink granite rock, sculpted by the wind into strange shapes. Children will be enchanted to hear that according to Breton folklore the rocks were home to the Margot-la-Fee, tiny reclusive fairies who tended their fairy cattle and sheep. You might have caught them sunbathing on the rose-pink stones and if you asked nicely they would share their bread and milk…
