Welcome to Brittany Holiday Rental........
Brittany is a great place to holiday with lots to see and do for all the family throughout the year.
There's lush rolling countryside where the stresses of life take a back-seat, picturesque harbours and street-side cafes, wide sandy beaches, historic medieval castles and mighty chateau's, Celtic traditions, standing stones and megaliths at Carnac as well as many festival's and fete's throughout the year.
Food and drink play a major part of French life and Brittany is no different in this respect, plus there are many delicious regional dishes such as buckwheat Crepe's and sweet galette pancakes, Breton cake, cider, and of course a fantastic range of seafood caught locally. Most towns have regular street markets where you can buy straight from the farmer.
La Ville Hervé is perfectly situated in the centre of Brittany to enjoy the best that Brittany has to offer.
The property is 5 minutes away from the local village which offers a bar, boulangerie and convenience store.
10 minutes away is the market town of Lamballe which is steeped in local history, the famous Haras National stud farm (guided tours and/or a horse drawn carriage trip around the town), restaurants, bars, shops, banks and much more.
Thursday is market day and in the evening the market square comes to life with live music and local food stalls - A GREAT DAY OUT.
We are just 20 minutes away from secluded, beautiful beaches such as Erquy, Pleneuf Val André and Sables-d’Or-les-Pins.
Within an hour's drive are great places to visit like the world heritage site of Mont St Michel, the historical ports of St Malo and Dinan, Rennes the capital of Brittany, and Carnac.
These are a few examples of things to see and do in the local area:
zoos
karting
tree park
boat trips
aquariums
paintballing
18 hole golf courses - all overlooking the sea
steam trains
tennis
horse-riding
