Plenty of beautiful beaches and coves within reasonable driving distance.
Being centrally located means nowhere is too far! Most parts of Brittany and their key attractions are easily accessible. It's easy to explore the coastal areas and stunning beaches of Northern, Western and Southern Brittany as well as the larger attractions the area has to offer such as aquariums, castles, historic towns (eg. Dinan, Josselin, Vannes), water and adventure parks - each one a perfect day trip. There are visitor leaflets as well as a comprehensive information pack to get the most out of your stay
