Owners Recommendations

'Cycling and Walking'
"There are a number of off-road cycling paths from the house which are designated circuits. We recently went on a 3 hour ride with the children to Poullaoen, stopping on the benches along the way for a rest and having our picnic in the old French village by the church. We passed a number of people during the day, all ages !"
