Our area is very picturesque, we haven't seen anywhere better in all of our travels, that's why we live here!! We are on the 1st lock gates on the Brest to Nantes canal. Port Launay was voted one of the most picturesque port villages in France.
We are ideally placed for the many beaches, little rocky coves and large wide sandy beaches, all within 12 miles. Our beaches are white sand and warm seas in summer and never crowded.
Quimper, with it's cosmopolitan atmosphere, old world charm and timbered houses and shops overhanging the narrow streets is a mere 20 mins away. Visit the awe inspiring cathedral of St. Corentin and shop in the latest trendy fashion shops or browse among the typical Breton fayre, there is something for everyone and if you get tired of shopping, sit outside one of the many pavement cafes and restuarants and watch the world go by.
We are also 20 mins from Douarnenez with it's ship museum and seafood restaurants overlooking the old harbour. Locronon is next door, a medieval village frozen in time.
There are many small, charming villages such as Chareauneuf du Faou, canalside restaurants and the stunning Red brick Chateau of Trevarez with its beautiful gardens of azaleas, rhododendrons, camelias and hydrangeas. Le Faou with its slate facade houses and estuary.
