Owners Recommendations

Eating Out

'Le Chat Botté, 7 Rue de la Poste, Hennebont.'
"You'll be well fed at this restaurant, the food is excellent and the ambience superb. Watch out for the Irish coffees - they're huge! "

Local Area and Activities

'Auray - Tour de France 2008 ( Stage 2 - Auray to Saint-Brieuc)'
"Visit this picturesque and historic town, the starting point for Stage 2 - Tour de France 2008 (Auray to Saint-Brieuc). The beautiful, quaint harbour filled with narrow, winding cobbled streets and half-timbered 15th and 16th century houses is a real step back in time. Stroll across the lovely 17th century stone bridge which spans the river and provides a splendid view of the harbour then enjoy a relaxing drink/meal in one of the many waterfront bars and restaurants. "

'Carnac'
"Visit the Neolithic standing stones at Carnac then spend time on Carnac-Plage, a large, gently sloping beach of fine sand and one of Brittany's most modern and lively seaside resorts it provides a good choice of amenities together with colourful cafes and restaurants serving good quality, reasonably priced food. "

'Lorient'
"The port town of Lorient is very close by offering a lively selection of shops, bars and restaurants. During the first 2 weeks of August, it is well worth visiting Lorient for the annual Interceltique Music Festival which takes place in the town centre and which attracts many artists/musicians from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, Spain and Brittany. The first weekend of the festival starts with a large parade of bands and dancers all in traditional costumes. It really is something special! "

'Quiberon'
"Approx 30 mins drive away is the wild and rugged port of Quiberon. Ferries will take you to the Belle Ile and other islands in the Golfe du Morbihan. Quiberon sits at the end of a 14km peninsula south of Carnac. It has a lively atmosphere - the coastline is rugged and wild on the ocean side, but has sheltered sandy beaches on the eastern side (the Grande Plage), and this is lined with cafes, restaurants, a mini-golf course and park along the seafront."

'Vannes'
"Take a trip to the beautiful medieval town of Vannes which is located just on the edge of the famous Golfe du Morbihan (a sailing metropolis, also known for its oyster farms). Vannes also offers the opportunity to sample smart shops, bars, restaurants and lovely marina where the cafe terraces are often overflowing with al fresco diners. "

Markets and Shopping

'Hennebont'
"Visit the medieval market town of Hennebont (only 10 mins drive away) with its typically French bustling weekly market (every Thursday morning). Perhaps stop for lunch in one of the many bars/restaurants available there or take a meandering riverside walk along the Blavet River."

'Rennes'
"You really should visit the capital town of Brittany with its beautiful architecture, large selection of shops, bars and restaurants. It has a very high student population which provides the town with a vibrant nightlife but Rennes is particularly nice in early July, during the "Festival des Tombées de la Nuit". Its streets are then full of people enjoying the free street entertainment and eating or drinking at the terraces of the restaurants and cafés. "
