Au coeur de la belle campagne is in Trévenec, which is a peaceful hamlet set in beautiful countryside close to the National Park of Armorique in Central Brittany, yet only 40 minutes drive from some of the best beaches in Brittany. It is only 5 minutes by car from the new Valley of the Saints Heritage Site on the outskirts of Carnoet, with its giant granite statues of Breton Saints.
The cottage itself is a beautifully presented, superbly equipped and exquisitely renovated 200-year old Breton Longère with a wonderful view over fields and woodland, yet close to local towns. It is ideal for exploring Brittany by car, cycling, walking or just relaxing in peaceful surroundings and nearby there are places to visit to suit all the family from fishing to riding to watersports to the wonderful sandy beaches and the typically French markets.
With thermostatically-controlled electric heating for autumn and winter and a secluded south facing garden for spring and summer, Trévenec is the ideal location for a romantic hideaway or a family holiday. The property is protected by English smoke alarms and is now non-smoking within the house.

"Trévenec is ideally situated for visiting the moorland, forests, lakes and villages of the Regional Park of Armorique, the wonderful beaches of the north, west and south coasts of Brittany, a wide range of attractive French towns and villages and a host of other attractions such as chateaux, country crafts and also sporting and leisure sites for old and young alike. "

"In late 2009 Carnoet won a contest to be the site of the most important heritage programme in Brittany this century, the Valley of the Saints. By May 2010 the first 483 metre high granite statues of Breton saints should be in position at the wonderfully atmospheric site of the chapel of Saint Gildas. This will be open to visitors soon and will become a must-see attraction.
"
