Superbly renovated, it has been said that these cottages, which date back 200 years, now vie amongst the most beautiful in Brittany. A mild climate, special ferry / tunnel packages, and plenty to see and do also make it ideal for a Spring or Autumn break.

There are several sandy beaches 20-30 minutes by car from La Garenne ranging from the vast sweeping sands of Guidel in the West (see photo gallery) to Lamour Plage, Port Louis, Etel, Erderven and a little further, the famous and popular Carnac beach to the South (see photo gallery).
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.

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.

My husband and I stayed here for a week last May. The weather was kind as it often is in Brittany and the rural location truly beautiful. The thatched cottages are superbly maintained and the grounds similarly superb. An evening stroll along the towpath of Le Blavet after dinner with no noise, no light and just the occasional fisherman was magical. Le Pressoir is sympathetically restored maintaining the character of the cottage but providing all modern amenities.
Guest rating:
Location, location, location. This was our first time to Brittany and we were blown away by the beautiful scenery and the local food. La Garenne is located in a stunning area of the countryside within reach of the markets, and the local shops. We loved the views from Le Pressoir and enjoyed cycling along the river. The location is very peaceful with the only noise coming from the wildlife! The bed was comfortable, the bathroom stylish and everything was nice and clean. Overall we had a fantastic holiday.
Guest rating:
We stayed at Le Pressoir back in June 2015 and what an idillic place !!! Wonderful souvenirs. The 3 cottages are absolutely gorgeous, and the whole area is immaculate. There is absolutely everything you could need in the cottage including baby equipment like cot (very comfy) and high chair. The swimming pool is amazing, nice warm and clean with beautiful views. Loads of space to play games in the garden and best of all you've got direct access to a beautiful walk by the river (gate at bottom of the garden). Perfectly placed with loads to visit very close by and a lovely village just 5 mins drive for that all important fresh croissants in the morning. All in all a magical place.
