The manor is located in Central Brittany and you can reach the northern, western, or southern coast in about an hour and 15 minutes. Some guests have found an area in Brittany and kept going back each day while others have gone a different direction each time.

For most of the suggestions listed above, we have a retired French couple close by, Ghis and Théu Monthuley, who speak English and give great tours. They are able to explain the history of these locations and have a vast knowledge of how life was in Brittany. Let us know if you are interested in spending a day or so with them and we can check their availability. There is a fee for their guided tours.
