There are wonderful walks and cycle rides along the scenic towpath beside the River Blavet with the occasional little bar, café or restaurant dotted every few kilometres in each direction to stop at for refreshments. When in France why not do as the French do and have your main meal at lunchtime and enjoy the culinary delights of the region.
Towns and villages
Languidic is the nearest town, about a 5 minute drive away. It has two fabulous patisseries, a supermarket, market day, central square with huge church and lots of shops all around the square.
Hennebont is a larger town with a great market held on Thursday mornings and is around 10 minutes' drive. There are also some interesting old battlements to explore and another magnificent church. Every town, small or large, has a different market day so there is one every day of the week. We have a list of all the days and towns in the housebook at La Garenne.
Restaurants
Brittany is famous for its seafood and crepes and there are many good restaurants in the region, details of our favourites ranging from a simple pizzeria to the Michelin star Chateau de Locguenole can be found in the cottage housebooks.
Things to do and see
Poul Fetan is a magnificently restored medieval village "museum" just 10 to 15 minutes' drive from La Garenne. In Summer they dress in period costume and there are demonstrations of arts and crafts from a bygone era.
Cycling The towpath beside the river is fabulous for cycling. No hills, no cars and just the occasional other cyclist or walker and an ever changing landscape as the river meanders through glorious countryside. Take your own bikes or hire them from the bike shop at nearby Lochrist. Their bikes are superb, reasonably priced and they even deliver to and collect from La Garenne. Helmets, children's bikes, baby chairs etc are all supplied.
Kayaking Have a fun filled couple of hours hiring kayaks at the French National Kayaking Centre just a few minutes downstream from La Garenne. It is well priced, well organised, has a great slalom course and is safe for both adults and children. There are both a Pizzeria and Creperie opposite.
Fishing The River Blavet teems with fish and we even have several families of otters which live on the riverbanks and can sometimes be seen early in the mornings on this stretch of the river.
Rambling, Tennis and Horse Riding are all available close by. Walk the Blavet valley, play tennis in Languidic or even have a go at Western Riding at Hennebont! All the details are in the cottages.
Private heated swimming pool with level 1m shallow end and slope to 2.3m deep end. Small baby pools available. Full paved terrace. Plenty of loungers with cushions and parasols. Security alarm, discreet safety fence and lockable gate, ensuring young children are safe at all times!

The valley of the River Blavet is known as the Vallee Verte (Green Valley). It is a conservation area and La Garenne sits on its own with magnificent views South across the valley. It really is a unique location and your first glimpse of La Garenne is from about 1km away as you drive up the little lane beside the river.
The area is also a haven for wildlife.

Guest rating:
We had a fabulous holiday in La Chaumiere in July 2015. The weather was great and we made full use of the heated swimming pool. The cottage was cosy and historic with beams galore and the bedrooms tucked under the eaves were so romantic. The bathroom was really cleverly and stylishly laid out. The kitchen had everything we needed and more and we ate most meals outside either under the veranda or in the courtyard - both have fabulous views of the river and valley. At night the stars were incredible, the hoots of the owls lovely to hear and we slept like logs. It was so peaceful. Thank you Jeanine and Greg for a wonderful holiday.
Guest rating:
I just loved my stay in Brittany at La Chaumiere! Thank you to Jeanine and Greg for the gorgeous collection of local foods waiting when we arrived. All the linen and cleaning products and toiletries we needed were there waiting too, which was great, we didn’t need to try and fit all these extras in our cabin luggage on flights! The cottage was gorgeous, so full of character and history. It easily accommodated our party and was easy to cook in and entertain ourselves. It was too easy to pick up pastries in Languidic every morning and we also enjoyed bustling around in Hennebont at the markets. I ate far too much Breton Cake while staying but loved working it off by riding along the river and swimming in the heated pool at La Garenne. I still want to go and visit Carnac so will definitely be staying again.
