The Owner Recommends
La Roche-Bernard
Between Vannes and Nantes, the fortified village of La Roche-Bernard has dominated the River Vilaine for a thousand years. These days the village is best known for its Michelin-starred restaurant but most people come to wander around its quaint streets and take boat trips down the river. Thursday morning the market is in full swing. Later, take a walk around its attractive centre where you can watch a potter at work in his studio, blow some glass in Atelier Verre or learn about bee keeping (and buy some honey) at the Maison de l’Abeille. Stop for lunch at Le Sarah B, housed in an 18th century grain warehouse on the quayside; the café is a Café de Pays, a label given to venues with an authentic Breton atmosphere. La Roche-Bernard is a popular destination for fans of water-based tourism. Les Vedettes Jaunes run regular trips down the river as far as the Arzal Dam, which was built in 1970 to allow navigation of the river at all tides. More independent sorts can hire electric boats or barges (no permit needed) or paddle along in a kayak. The Flotille Traditionnelle de la Basse Vilaine is a group of vintage boat owners who take passengers out in their traditional craft.
Charming property which was well maintained, clean and well equipped. Location achieved that nice blend of being rural and quiet yet close enough to amenities to make the day to day practicalities (morning trip for baguettes, milk etc.) very achievable.
Downstairs was both comfortable and well thought through in terns of space, layout and facilities. Although potentially appearing 'cosy' from the photo for our family of four (2 adults & 2 teenagers) we had absolutely no problem. The enclosed garden was a real bonus and many a breakfast and evening meal was spent out in the sunshine enjoying the rural setting, where breakfast was occasionally shared with one or two very friendly chickens - a real positive for families with children.
The property was located quite close to La Roche-Bernard which was a charming little spot to amble around (artist's quarter, and harbour) with some great places to eat that won't break the bank, yet offering lovely views of the boats and old streets.
The owner was absolutely charming and wonderfully helpful - exhibiting that rare quality of being there when needed but also leaving you well alone to enjoy the pleasures of Brittany. Although the owners' property was located next door, the orientation of the properties was such as to provide near total privacy.
All in all, great value for money, offering comfort and charm and well placed for exploring South Brittany.
