For a Brittany beach stay like no other, this contemporary dwelling has it all. Nautical style, modern amenities and space to stretch out and relax after long days of swimming and sunbathing. And did we mention that sea view? 

Stays here are as laidback and lovely as the photos suggest. Wake up each morning with a full French breakfast on your cute dining set. Open the floor-to-ceiling patio doors and breathe in the sea air from your sunny terrace. Head down to the beach, located just a stone’s throw away, and paddle, play or put your feet up. Then return for a relaxing evening in, and sit out on the deckchairs with a bottle of French wine as you watch the sunset.

If you want to venture out beyond the beach, you’re also ideally located to explore Pléneuf-Val-André, a vibrant seaside resort boasting quaint cafes, elegant restaurants and lively bars. Bienassis Castle is based just a short drive away too if you fancy soaking up some French history. Or, take a trip up the coastline to explore more rugged shores and golden sands.

This lovely home is a real delight. It was recently renovated, and has been beautifully decorated – you can tell how much love has gone into this home. Hues of green and jade run throughout the decor, resulting in a soothing vibe. When you’re on holiday, you want to be able to relax in style, and that’s just what you can do here. 

The stunning monochrome kitchen is a great place to begin your day, whether you’re simply preparing coffee or whipping up a feast. Everything you might need has been considered here, so cooking is a pleasure rather than a chore. When everyone is seated around the dining table, you’ll see why this home is so popular with families and groups of friends – there’s plenty of room for everyone to gather together. 

If the sun is shining, you’ll want to be outside. Lie out on a sun lounger to top up your Vitamin D, or dive right into the heated swimming pool. The south-facing terrace is a wonderful spot, looking out over the lush gardens – we’d be tempted to fire up the barbecue for a dinner under the stars. You’re close to the coast so the seafood is great – the scallops from the Bay of Saint-Brieuc in particular are divine.

Single-Level Home

Resting on the Côtes-d'Armor, this sunny apartment boasts beautiful views over the Bay of Saint-Brieuc. Only a six-minute stroll from the Casino Val André, you'll have easy access to the restaurant-dotted promenade here. Alternatively, go shopping at one of the local morning markets, then soak up the spectacular seascape at the Chemin de la Pointe de Pléneuf observation deck.

From the moment you step inside, this bright home welcomes you in with its floor-to-ceiling windows and an open-plan layout. For breakfast, wander into the sleek kitchen and indulge your sweet tooth by sharing a plateful of French pastries. Then, hop under the rain shower before heading out to explore the vicinity. When you return, unwind on your southwest-facing balcony with a cup of coffee in hand. After dark, the DVD player promises great movie nights, and this telescope might just tempt you to stargaze. Before drifting off to sleep, take a book from the shelf and switch on the reading lamps.

Fire Extinguisher

Situated on the commune of Pleneuf-Val-Andre less than 1km from the beach lies this cosy home. Perfect for families, you'll have a large garden to let the kids play in alongside your furry friends, and a raised terrace with seating outdoors to comfortably enjoy the fresh air and blue skies. In the day, large windows and doors to the terrace let the sunlight bathe the open-plan living space, and you'll have the option of whipping up something in the kitchen, throwing a barbecue in the sunshine or heading out to one of many choices for fantastic nearby restaurants. In the evening, sit under the stars with a drink or gather in the living room with a movie on the big screen and let the wood stove heat you up – a perfect cosy evening.

You'll be close to the port of Dahouet, and will be able to benefit from close proximity to shops and pick up any necessities you might need. You won't have to compromise the practicality of your stay just because you want to stay away from the busiest areas and tourist traps! It's only a stroll down to the nearest beach where you can appreciate the sand, sun and sea of the coastline. Not to mention you'll also be close to an array of wonderful bars, boutiques and markets where you can immerse yourself in the culture of Pleneuf-Val-Andre and really feel like a local.

In the Pocket of the Sea

Paid Parking On Street

Sun Umbrellas

This beautiful home with its quaint wooden shutters, feature fireplace and wooden beams is utterly charming. At its heart, an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area is the perfect place for making memories with loved ones. In colder months, gather for a hearty breakfast around the dining table as the fire crackles and glows beside you. When it’s time to put your feet up, the generous corner sofa ensures there’s plenty of space for all to snuggle and recount tales of the day’s adventures. 

Our favourite spot here has to be the garden. It’s just the place to retreat to when you need a little quiet time. Settle down on a sun lounger with a glass of French wine and a good book, and get lost in a story for a few hours. In such a tranquil setting and with the quiet of nature surrounding you, it’s a blissful way to spend the day. As evening starts to call, you may decide to gather everyone for a spot of alfresco dining, where you can watch the sky dance through an array of colours as the sun slowly starts its descent. 

When it’s time to tear yourself away from this quiet retreat, take a ten-minute stroll and you’ll find yourself on the beautiful 7km sandy stretch of Berneuf beach. Sink your feet into the sand and take in a deep breath of sea air, as calmness washes over you. You’ll never want to leave. 

Golden Charm

First Aid Kit

Situated in the desirable commune of Lamballe-Armor, this contemporary farmhouse is an ideal base for a family or group of friends after a coastal retreat with a little extra sparkle. Stepping inside, you'll find clean lines, an open-plan layout and floor-to-ceiling windows that make an instant impression. We love the striking wood-burning stove, connecting the chic living space with a light-filled dining area and sleek chef's kitchen for seamless modern living. 

Pour yourself a glass of something bubbly, before soaking up the sun from your private roof terrace with dazzling sea views. Relax on a lounger or enjoy lunch alfresco as you top up your tan. There are several furnished terraces, perfectly suited for your outdoor dining needs, including a pretty patio area and garden at the back of the house. 

Location-wise, you're a five-minute stroll from the sandy beach of Port Morvan for effortless afternoons relaxing by the crystal waters. We also recommend a visit to the beautiful fishing port of Dahouet and the seaside resort of Val André – both are just five minutes away by car. 

Seaside Glamour

With captivating views of the twinkling waters of Erquy's port de pêche, this home provides a great base from which to begin your own seaside odyssey, exploring the myriad sights, sounds, smells, and tastes that make coastal France so uniquely beguiling. 

Tear open those windows and feel the sea air rush in and fill the surprisingly wide-open, uncluttered spaces of the apartment – we can't think of many better ways to start a day than with a few invigorating breaths of salty-sweet oceanic breeze. After a light brunch on the patio, Erquy and its surrounds are beckoning, its delights just waiting to be uncovered. 

Frequent some of the many local ice cream parlors, restaurants, or bars located just a stone's throw from the apartment for a taste of authentic Breton cuisine. Mosy to the nearest beach, just 5-minutes walk away. Or, for something a little more active, why not sign up for the well-regarded sailing school, surf classes, or hire a jet ski for an afternoon of wave-riding? Those with a penchant for golf are in luck too, with the 18-hole course at Pléneuf Val just 10-minutes away by car.

The Fisherman's Friend

Situated just 10 metres from the beach and a short walk from the heart of Erquy, this straight-talking apartment is ideal for a small family or two couples. Inside, it’s calm and collected with vintage furnishings in the living space and a sleek kitchen with everything you need for putting together Breton-inspired dishes. Begin your mornings with a coffee on the quiet balcony before grabbing your seaside essentials and skipping down to the stretch of golden sand. 

Stroll into town for freshly caught scallops in a local restaurant then explore the Cap d’Erquy moors. Head home in the late afternoon to watch the sun set over the harbour with a glass of wine in hand. And when it’s time to get some rest, an early night is impossible to resist thanks to the supremely comfortable beds dressed in crisp, white linens.

Harbour & Tide

Desk

Located in a former hotel, this apartment has breathtaking sea views. We particularly love the main bedroom with its four-poster bed and ocean vistas (there's also an office area here if you want to write a travel blog or catch up on work). In fact, there are sea views to enjoy from most rooms. The highlight, though, for us, is the private garden area around the apartment – you have a terrace and garden furniture for alfresco meals – it's a great space overlooking the Grande Plage, as well as the Pointe de la Garde.

Spend idyllic days on the Grande Plage on your doorstep or indulge in some water sports such as surfing, paddleboarding or take some catamaran lessons. If you fancy exploring further afield, then Cape Fréhel, to the west, is perfect for bird watchers, or the nearby charming resort of Saint-Cast-le-Guildo has a small port and coastal paths.


Sea, Sand & Good Times

Board Games

While the Mediterranean beaches in the south of France are constantly lauded, the ruggedly beautiful seaside spots at the top end of the country are underrated by comparison. If you want to see a splendid example of one such resort, this home in Sables-d'Or-les-Pins will convert almost anybody.

There's almost something quite rustic about the address, whether it's the large tree-filed garden surrounding the house or the pretty stone facade. Behind the front door, it's a little more contemporary than you might imagine, with the sort of stark white walls, smart wooden floors and sleek kitchen surfaces that wouldn't look out of place in a stylish city apartment. Saying that, the living room's large window and feature fireplace add a level of cosiness, although sadly the latter is only decorative.

Such is the humble size of the local town, the bulk of the attractions and conveniences are only a short walk away. The main beach is 1km, for instance, while there are tennis and golf facilities all of two minutes away on foot. In the centre of town, there's a small selection of restaurants and bars to tide you over during your visit.



Great Breton

Fenced Garden

Reap all of the benefits of coastal living in this beachside home. Located in the Côtes-d'Armor area of Brittany, the most northwestern part of France, golden sandy beaches and striking pink granite cliffs are just a stone’s throw from this seaside villa.

Enjoy panoramic sea views thanks to large windows and multiple living spaces to ensure there's always a cosy corner from which to enjoy a glass of wine and a sunset. One of the two living rooms features a fireplace, perfect for getting cosy after a busy day of exploring or cycling around the coastline - bikes are provided so no need to worry about getting around.

This home is ideal for family living, thanks to a private, south-facing garden with plenty of room for playing in, plus a balcony complete with dining table for those all-important family brunches. There's even a ping pong table, which is bound to keep the kids entertained whilst the adults enjoy some well-deserved downtime.

Spend a leisurely morning sipping coffee on the terrace before heading to Fréhel's nautical centre for a spot of surfing the waves, exploring lagoons via paddle board or even boating across the Atlantic Ocean via catamaran. 

Oceanview Villa

Perched cliffside above the beach of Saint-Énogat, this apartment offers idyllic sea views and makes the perfect setting for a restorative retreat on the Emerald Coast. 

From the outset, you’ll want to pause and admire the striking facade of this building – it evokes a wonderful sense of tradition and ushers you inside with a warm welcome. Head up one flight of stairs and you’ll find this apartment adds a contemporary touch to the rustic charm of its setting. From the light-filled living room styled in calming tones to the simple bedroom (with its own private balcony), every detail inspires a wonderful sense of relaxation. 

Enjoy quiet mornings with a coffee listening to the sound of the waves, sip refreshing drinks as the sunsets and prepare simple meals inspired by the fresh local produce – Saint-Énogat’s weekly market is just a short walk away. And when you’re refreshed and ready to explore, wander straight down to the beach or visit the beautiful coves and towns dotted along the coast – Saint-Malo is less than a twenty-five-minute drive away.

Maison Perle

Embrace the beauty of the sea at Seaside Serenity, a charming and modern 3-room apartment situated in Jullouville. This beachfront haven offers stunning views of the ocean from every window. Relax and rejuvenate in the comfortable living and dining area adorned with beautiful furnishings. Unwind in one of the two inviting bedrooms – one with a French bed and the other with two twin beds. Prepare culinary delights in the well-equipped kitchen featuring modern appliances. The bathroom offers all the necessities, and there is a separate WC for convenience. With its prime location just steps away from the golden sandy beach and within walking distance to shops, cafes, and tourist attractions, Seaside Serenity provides an idyllic retreat for beach lovers and sightseers alike. Immerse yourself in coastal charm at this enchanting getaway.

Ocean Panorama

This pretty half-timbered house from the 17th century is located right in the heart of the fairytale-esque Breton town of Dinan and comfortably accommodates up to four guests in its quirky, lovingly-decorated interior that boast its own unique character. 

With a charming blend of original wood features, painted frescos, eye-catching mosaic tiles, and picture frame windows that let in plenty of light, the home feels like it has been lifted from the pages of a Brothers Grimm fairytale. Open up the windows on the ground floor and be greeted by the gentle hum of everyday French village life beyond its pane, allowing the sunlight to stream in whilst you linger over breakfast or a book. 

Step over the threshold and you'll find yourself in the midst of things here in Dinan, with everything from boulangeries to historical attractions right on your doorstep, whilst the coast and its iconic towns such as Saint-Malo are just a short drive away.

The Fairytale Townhouse

This adorable home has everything to suggest it's tucked away in a French village, but it's in the heart of cosmopolitan Rennes. Even the enchanting courtyard will have you convinced you've stepped into a storybook world, not at the foot of St. Peter's Cathedral.

When stepping into this secret garden courtyard, we're practically waiting for Gaston and the townspeople to burst out of the windows and break into song. The sprawling foliage and quaint buildings provide a place where time stands still and you can break away from the thoughts of daily life. First impressions count, and this one will be lasting. 

Inside the cosy home, the owner has thoughtfully cloaked the interior in a modern preference for mid-century design, with a warm-toned colour palette that is vibrant yet soothing. And with plenty of ambience-setting lighting, this home exudes a comforting homeliness. We imagine you'll want to spend a lot of your time soaking up the place – preparing dinner in the well-equipped kitchen to be enjoyed around the beautiful dining table, before getting snug on the plush sofas with a warming hot chocolate beneath the ceiling's original beams. 

While it's easy to spend a lot of time in this calming cottage, it's only right to explore when you're in such a fantastic location. Whether you want to see the city on foot, by bike, by bus, or by metro, it's all readily available here. You're in the heart of Rennes' historical centre, away from the hustle and bustle but close to its charming cobbled streets and historical sights. 

Belle's Chaumière

Located in the charming fishing port of Binic, France lies this sweet apartment with an open-plan setup and beautiful views of the sea. Snuggle up in the cosy bedroom or relax on the quaint balcony overlooking the sea and watch the waves roll in. Or make yourself a morning cup of coffee in the small yet practical kitchen, equipped with all the basics for essential cooking.

If you're hoping to stay in a beautiful little French town with the beach at your doorstep and surrounded by comfort, style and convenience, look no further – this is a stay for the whole family, including your four-legged friends! Whether it's spending a day at the beach, looking around the local shops and market or taking part in one of the many tourist activities available in the area, you're sure to have a wonderful time. And after each day you'll have the pleasure of returning to an apartment that has everything you'll need for a short stay to soak in the beauty and culture of northwest France. Everything you need inside, and close enough to a beach and other local amenities that a car isn't needed everytime you step outside. Just relax, explore and enjoy.

This beautiful modern apartment is located in the quiet area of Rotheneuf, near the sculpted rocks and the golden sands of Val beach. Unwind in the comfortable living area while the floor-to-ceiling windows and glass sliding doors lead the way out to the terrace overlooking the sea, allowing the sunlight to reach its way inside. Whether you're making your morning coffee in the well-equipped kitchen and greeting the day out on the terrace, or you're sitting at the dining table to get some work finished remotely, you'll feel right at home in no time. In good weather here, you'll be able to see as far as the Chausey Islands – it's the perfect backdrop to good conversation, evening drinks or morning yoga.

Not only does this home allow you to comfortably enjoy the beauty of the Emerald Coast and the rolling waves at your doorstep, but you'll be close to a range of salubrious amenities like Les Thermes Marins de Saint Malo and Phytomer Spa, where you can spend your day receiving the pampering you deserve – after all, what else is a holiday for? Once you’ve experienced total tranquillity, you’ll be all set to explore the medieval town of Dinan, filled with art and history. Visit the feudal castle and take in the beautiful traditional architecture. Hikers will be able to take advantage of the walking trails atop the Point de la Varde cliffs with incredible views over the whole bay, and through the gorgeous Rance valley with its picturesque landscape punctuated by fishing villages and mills.

Upon the Rocks of Malouin

Paid Parking

Emanating quintessential coastal charm, this delightful holiday apartment in the storybook town of Saint-Malo combines elements of rustic-chic – courtesy of the exposed stone detailing – with thoroughly modern influences.

Whitewashed wooden beams and high sloping ceilings are the primary features of the living area which give you a sense of both the building's history and its timeless charm. Light fills each room through large windows, illuminating cosy corners that are just made for curling up with a good book and a cup of tea. 

After a day of exploring the numerous highlights to be found in Saint-Malo (the centre of which is a ten-minute walk away), luxuriate over a home-cooked meal in the dining room – a carefully thought-out space that invites you to linger with your loved one over typical Breton specialities, including the freshest seafood, pulled from the water just moments away. 

Stone Walls & White

A serene spot on the beachfront in Saint-Malo, this seaside escape invites guests to make ever-lasting memories in delightfully blissful conditions. Built in 1906, you'll be just metres away from the sandy shores of le Grande Plage. With direct beach access via the stairs in front of the villa, from here, you're encouraged to meditate, do yoga, or relax while taking in the stunning blue views with a cup of tea in hand. Inside the beach villa, classic and nautical designs present a home bursting with character. We love the antique furniture pieces which add traditional French charm with bags of elegance. 

Thanks to its on-point location, you can enjoy scenic beach walks, rollerblading or cycling on the seawall. There's also a surf school just 200 metres away, and if actively participating in watersports isn't your thing, the beach's kitesurfers, windsurfers or surfers will guarantee an excellent show. Meanwhile, a mini-market and the many nearby restaurants offer an endless opportunity to sample the local Brittany delicacies and fresh seafood in Saint-Malo. 



Staring out to Sea 

Shared Washing Machine

Perfect for a couple, this contemporary oasis in Lanvallay is a real gem. Spend mornings sipping freshly-brewed coffee in the shared garden with today’s paper, afternoons reclining on the plump blue sofa sipping a glass of Muscadet, and evenings in the sleek kitchen rustling up a regional cheese plate – either way, this elegant home is a welcoming space to spend time in.

Inside, there are contemporary designs and a stunning scenic feature wall that creates a sense of calm. It’s a bright and inviting space to unwind after a day strolling the cobbled streets and exploring the 14th-century Dinan Castle, a short drive away. 

Soak up the Brittany culture in Dinan with a tour of the medieval half-timbered houses, a visit to the 15th-century artillery tower of Tour du Coëtquen, and an authentic dinner of pork rillettes at a family-owned bistrot. As evening descends, amble along The Rance River with a sweet chantilly crêpe in hand. 

Scenic & Serene

Sauna

Garden Games

Overlooking the bay of Cancale, soak up majestic sea views from every room of this home located just 800 metres away from Saussaye Beach. On a clear day, the views even stretch as far as the islands of Chausey and the iconic Mont St Michel. 

The perfect getaway for a family and those travelling with children, the home presents a large space area which frames the view like a piece of artwork at the centre of the room. Gaze out at the stillness of the sea from the window seat, and you might even wind up in a meditative state. You'll also find a cosy reading corner which invites you to select a book from the home library. 

Open up the French doors leading out onto the spectacular terrace area where the group can gather around the alfresco dining area for barbecues by the sea. When the weather is kind, what better than a spot of sunbathing on the loungers in a prime position of those glistening views? 

With a dormitory-style bedroom with six single beds, the children will enjoy sharing a room on one giant sleepover. Meanwhile, the garden shed equipped with games and bicycles will keep the whole family occupied for hours. 

After fun-filled days on the beach (you'll be just a few minutes away from the most beautiful beaches of the Emerald Coast here), the home sauna awaits for some blissful moments of relaxation. Of course, even from the sauna – you won't miss a moment away from the stunning sea view. 

An ideal base for exploring Britanny and the likes of Mont St Michel, Port Mer Beach (900 metres away) and the beach of Le Verger La Pointe du Grouin – found a fifteen-minute walk away. 



Stillness of the Sea

Safe

Once a home for horses, this former stable is perfectly placed for a visit to Rennes. Tucked nicely near Thabor Gardens, it allows you to be close to the city yet far enough away from the hustle and bustle that you can enjoy some much-needed quiet time whenever you retreat back home. 
 
With nods to its history through exposed beams and brickwork, this recently renovated home has been beautifully modernised, while retaining its charm. The sleek, modern kitchen is a delight to cook in, should you decide an evening at home is preferred over dining out. Climb the spiral staircase and you’ll find two comfortable bedrooms to choose from, both of which guarantee a blissful night’s sleep. A fairly neutral palette is broken up throughout the home with pops of colour, giving the whole space a calming, cosy vibe.

Our favourite part of this home is the terrace. Quite the sun trap during the day, it’s a peaceful place to retreat to as evening sets in. Grab yourself a bottle of fine French wine and settle down on the sofas with your loved ones. As night falls and a blanket of stars breaks out above, listen to the quiet chatter of your loved ones and feel yourself relax. This is where memories are made. 

Once Upon a Stable

Wheelchair Access

Ideally positioned, just footsteps from Sillon Beach, this bright and modern home is all about kicking back and relaxing. Wake up feeling refreshed in the soft yellow bedroom before plating up a stack of crêpes at the matte grey kitchenette. Recline on the plump sofa and get lost in a paperback or fill your lungs with the fresh sea air on your private balcony. 

When you’re ready to explore, the heart of Saint-Malo is a short walk away. Soak up unobstructed views of the marina from the city walls then swot up on your French history at Château de Saint-Malo. At low tide, discover the Grand Bé after basking in the sunshine on Plage de Bon-Secours. Finish the day with a feast of Breton cuisine followed by a glass or two of wine in a local restaurant.

A stone's throw from the sandy beaches of Cancale, in the picture-pretty bay of Port Mer, this charming home offers the very best of coastal living. Boasting a gorgeous garden with plenty of cosy spots to sit down and breathe in the salty sea air, start your days with coffee on the lawn while watching the boats sail by. 

If you want to see the ocean up close, the beach is less than 1km away – take a walk down to the golden sands to discover what the famous Emerald Coast has to offer. When you're feeling peckish, Cancale oysters are a must-try. Head to one of the local restaurants or buy some from the Mont Saint-Michel oyster market and take them home to prepare yourself. We highly recommend an alfresco dinner on the terrace, washed down with a glass of French wine. When you're finished, head up to the terrace to watch the sunset – the waterfront views have to be seen to be believed. 

When darkness falls, head inside to cuddle up on the sumptuous sofa to watch a movie. If you're travelling with little ones, the mezzanine level dens are the perfect place for a bedtime story to make sure they settle in for a good night's sleep. 

Emerald Coast of Cancale

Security System

Sunny, welcoming, and cheerful – this apartment is a wonderful choice for your Brittany getaway. Nestled on a quiet street in the village of Rothéneuf, the location boasts the best of both worlds – peaceful and friendly while being close to the walled city of Saint-Malo and its museums, historical sights, and bars. The cherry on top? You can get to the sandy beach of Le Val in just a few minutes on foot. 

Light pours into this apartment through the floor-to-ceiling windows – a constant source of joy. Whether you're preparing food in the kitchen, perched on a stool around the table, or stretching out on the sofa, you'll love how naturally bright this home is. And the best place to bask in the sunlight is on the spacious balcony – the perfect spot for savouring your morning coffee while enjoying your current read.

Calming days can be spent taking leisurely walks along the beach, stopping to soak in the sun and going for a swim on a good day. If you want something a bit more active, the walking trails atop the Pointe de la Varde cliffs are particularly beautiful. One of the most fascinating things in the region can be found here, too. You'll find over 300 granite rock sculptures at Les Rochers Sculptés, which were carved out in the late 1800s. After a day of exploring Rothéneuf, head to Saint-Malo for a gorgeous dinner along the waterfront, overlooking the vast Mediterranean sea. 

Stroke of Light

Piano

This is one of those homes that will have you completely smitten before you've even stepped foot behind the front door. Sitting within huge grounds just off the coastline in Sables D'or les Pins, there are gorgeous sea views to be had from the garden and no shortage of spots from which to appreciate this peaceful coastal setting, including a large terrace with a barbecue and dining table ready and waiting for feasts that stretch long into the evening.

The scenery is no less pretty out through the large windows inside and one of the first-floor bedrooms is treated to a balcony as well so you can get a blast of sea air the very moment you wake up. However, don't forget to lavish a little attention on the carefully put-together interior, which is both contemporary and quirky. Cleansingly white walls and ceilings play host to an eclectic collection of artwork and lighting fixtures, while the bright red bathtub is certainly eye-catching, too.

As you would hope given the proximity of La Manche, the home enjoys direct access to the beach, which feels almost like an extension of the garden. In the other direction, there are shops, restaurants and markets just over five minutes' walk from the home, as well as other attractions a short drive away – Les Jardins de Ker Louis can be reached in a quarter of an hour, for instance.

King of the Coast

Tucked just two streets from the sands of Plage des Bas Sablons, this bold apartment offers a charming base to make the most of the historic port city, Saint-Malo. And whether you’re visiting with a culturally-packed itinerary, on a hiking excursion, or for a spontaneous coastal break with the family, this is the kind of space you’ll look forward to spending time in. 

The vibrant hues of cobalt and marigold create a playful atmosphere here – we love the light-filled living room with its layered rugs and plump velvet sofa where we imagine you’ll spend afternoons stretched out with your holiday read and a glass of Rosé d'Anjou. There’s a vivid kitchen for preparing dinners with the produce you picked up from Marché de Saint-Servan, and after a day perusing the promenade and touring Saint-Vincent Cathedral of Saint-Malo, you’ll look forward to a blissful night’s sleep in the soft and stylish bedrooms. 

Saint Malo’s pristine sand beaches are just a short stroll away – grab a flaky pastry from your local boulangerie before enjoying a morning swim. At the golden hour, sample a couple of locally-caught oysters and a glass of Muscadet overlooking the bobbing boats in the port.

Cobalt Marigold

Gorgeously restored with consideration and keen eye for detail, this converted farmhouse offers the best of both archetypal rural France and chic modernity. 

The beautifully finished living area is characterised by its plush furnishings and luxurious finishing touches, lending the entire space a sense of glamour and of occasion. The kitchen, with the same eye-catching exposed stone detailing which runs throughout the property, provides a great place for everyone to come together and prepare a meal based on Breton specialities, including the freshest local seafood pulled from the water which lies just a stone’s throw away. For those with a hankering for vitamin-sea, the superb wide sandy beach of La Guimorais is just 5-minutes’ walk from the property.

Make your way upstairs and you will find two beautifully decorated bedrooms, each of which is filled with light and a feeling of height, thanks to its sloping loft ceilings that reach up into the eaves of the old building. Old stonework contrasts with cool contemporary wallpaper in the master bedroom, continuing the theme of ‘old-meets-new’ which makes the home so captivating, and an elegant standalone bathtub provides an extra unique touch. Imagine soaking in the bath in the comfort of your bedroom, looking out of the opposite window as dusk falls, before heading back downstairs and out onto the terrace for a glass of wine or an alfresco barbecue as evening turns to night.

You’ll find everything you could need during your stay in the delightful village of Saint Coulomb, just 2.5 kilometres from the property, whilst the iconic seaside town of Saint Malo with its historical walled centre and tidal fortress is but 10 kilometres away. 

Elemental Harmony

This apartment boasts an exceptional location in the heart of Rennes, on the square facing Saint Pierre Cathedral. Set on the third floor of a beautiful 19th century building complete with stained glass windows, the apartment is full of old world charm. High ceilings, wooden parquet floors, and ornate fireplaces characterise the space, which is bathed in natural light thanks to the tall windows. Each of the bedrooms is tastefully decorated, with comfortable beds and hotel quality sheets. There's a desk in the kids room in case you need to squeeze in some work. Throw open the curtains in the morning to admire the view of the Rennes rooftops and the cathedral, and enjoy coffee and croissants together at the dining table before heading out to explore. 

All of Rennes’ best attractions are within easy walking distance. Get a dose of culture at the Musée des Beaux-Arts before a restorative lunch at one of the local cafes. Spend the afternoon wandering the cobbled streets, admiring the historic timber-framed houses, or stroll along the canal. A day trip to Mont Sant Michel is unmissable – the mesmerising island topped with an abbey is an hour and fifteen minutes away by car. After a day of exploring, settle down in the sanctuary of your living room for a movie night together. 

Saint Pierre

Head up to the first floor of this home close to the Brittany coastline and you're treated to views of the sea and the narrow Sillon de Talbert stretching out through the water. Back down at ground level, it's not possible to catch a glimpse of this vista, but there's an innate sense of peace and tranquillity that often comes with being close to the sea.

During spells of warm weather, guests can while away the hours on the loungers and dining table on the terrace, or even play games on the large lawn. When you finally head inside, you're sure to be instantly struck by the minimalist interior. Large windows and glass doors invite in bountiful amounts of natural light and this is accentuated by the stark white walls and shiny wooden floors. The black kitchen is all clean lines and smooth surfaces, while the furnishings are subtle and unshowy to match.

When it comes to seeing a little more of the local area, you can walk to Sillon de Talbert in eight minutes and Pors Rand beach in eleven. The island of Bréhat is well worth a visit for its pink granite and Mediterranean microclimate, and can be easily reached by boat.

We can easily see why Layers Upon Layers was chosen as one of the best homes for breaks in France in 2016 — it's typical French countryside home with oodles of charm and plenty of amenities that will help you make lifelong memories. The interior has been furnished with gorgeous furniture that give it a rather retro-rustic atmosphere, and the host is keen on restoring period features, so that you can immerse yourself into the spirit of rural France. Meneac is far from a ghost town even outside of the tourist season, making it a great destination year-round, but there are plenty of interesting villages and castles to explore in the area. When you've had your fill of sights for the day, return to your holiday residence and try out a new recipe, or get the charcoal barbecue going in the garden. After a nice meal, treat yourself to some local wine and organise a movie night with the help of the big flat-screen TV that's equipped with Freeview. 

Layers Upon Layers

There's something special about waking up to a view each morning, and at this bright and cheerful apartment in Saint-Malo you'll have just that. Whether you're waking up from your restful slumbers in the comfortable bedrooms and cradling a cup of coffee on the balcony, enjoying breakfast in the light-filled dining area, or catching up with friends in the stylish living space, views of Solidor beach can be admired from every angle. 

Throw open the windows, kick back on the velvet sofa and relax with the sea breeze washing over you, as you map out the day ahead. We love the palm-themed artwork and rattan details that add to the cool and calm feel around the home. 

When it's time to head out, grab your seaside essentials and take the short walk to the sandy beach right on your doorstep for a day of sunbathing and swimming. And if you're in town for sightseeing, you can reach the historic centre of Intra-Muros in fifteen minutes on foot along the coast. There's also a fish market on the square of St Servan nearby and a small oyster market every Sunday on the Place Bouvet square. 

Sea Through You

Experience blissful serenity in this multi-level apartment nestled in the heart of Cancale, mere footsteps away from the ocean. Feel the essence of historic Brittany as you step inside this renovated beauty, abundant with comfort and modern charm. Immerse yourself in the spellbinding sea views from the large living area or escape to one of three comfortable bedrooms, each beautifully furnished and accented by natural light. Drift off to the lullaby of the surf from a generous terrace attached to two bedrooms. Indulge in relaxation in an open kitchen, fully cheerfully functional with tasteful appointments. A beautiful balcony ornamented with cozy furniture allows for moments of tranquil ocean contemplation. This abode ensures an intimate getaway imbued with soothing tones of French coastal life, offering both nostalgia and modern luxuries.

Emerald Bay Cocoon

Porte-Oranges

Fenced Property

This traditional stone home has a surprise in store. Far from the old world vibe you may be expecting, inside it's modern and chic – and perfectly equipped for your stay on the Normandy coast. On fine days, enjoy breakfast in the courtyard, then unwind on a sun lounger with your holiday read. On cooler days, there's always the cosy conservatory to retreat to. Just don't get too comfortable – there's plenty to explore in the local area. The village of Créances is on the edge of the Cotentin and Bessin marshes regional park, a beautiful landscape of wetlands and windswept dunes. You're also just a short drive from Pritania beach. Enjoy a picnic on the sand, then drive into Coutances to admire the Gothic cathedral. Back at your home, light up the barbecue as the sun goes down and enjoy a meal outside.

Country Stone

This is a charming, renovated terraced house surrounded by fields on the outskirts of Fréhel. The property features a beautiful wildlife garden and private parking for two cars. The house has comfortable and tasteful furnishings, including a lounge with a flat-screen TV and a large kitchen equipped with modern appliances, such as an oven, dishwasher, toaster, kettle, microwave, electric coffee machine, and raclette grill. The upper floor has two bedrooms with sloping ceilings, one with a French bed and the other with a single bed. The property also features a large south-facing terrace with porch and outdoor furniture, including deck chairs and a barbecue grill.

Please note that a car is recommended to fully enjoy the surrounding area.

To the Coast of Love

A stone's throw from Rennes' must-see sites – such as the Place des Lices, Cathédrale Saint-Pierre and La Vilaine, just to name a few – this cosy apartment is nestled in a prime spot for exploring. Start your day with a wander through the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rennes, then dig into an alfresco lunch at the city's array of delicious eateries. Come evening, don your fanciest outfit and enjoy a night at the opera or for something a bit more low-key, pack a picnic and watch the sunset in Parc du Thabor.

When you're not out and about, we think this flat is a fantastic place to kick back and unwind. The sleek and simple design is a calming respite from the hustle and bustle, while features like the knotted wooden beams overhead and decorative mantelpiece add the perfect amount of French charm.

Make yourself comfortable and plop down on the squishy sofa with a glass of French wine in hand, reminiscing about the day's adventures as you plan tomorrow's itinerary. For dinner, the sleek kitchen is well-stocked for serving up scrumptious meals around the stylish island – we suggest cooking a Breton dish like galettes using fresh produce from the Saturday market. With rainfall showers in the glossy bathrooms, sumptuous beds in each bedroom and a light-filled living space ideal for socialising, we think a group of friends or a small family will be more than happy to call this pad home. 

In Our Time

Occupying an enviable spot in the heart of Renne’s historic centre, this apartment cleverly combines classic French furniture with original features and licks of contemporary chartreuse coloured paint to create a stylish yet welcoming environment. 

Make yourself at home in the living space – curl up on the orange tartan sofa with a paperback before rustling up Breton cuisine in the fully-equipped kitchen. After a good feasting, stretch your legs with a wander through the city’s charming streets or embark on a sight-seeing adventure. 

The Cathedral Saint-Pierre de Rennes is just footsteps from your doorstep and the Musée de Bretagne is only a short walk away. Pore over works by Picasso, Botticelli and Rubens in the Musée des Beaux-Arts before treating yourself to a glass of wine in a local bar. 

Chartreuse & Brick

We fell hard for this characterful home not far from the St Lunaire coastline and we're pretty sure other guests will be just as smitten. A lot of that is down to the design. Much of it is contemporary in scope, from the minimalist kitchen and stark white walls to the bare wooden floors and the chic selection of furnishings. However, there are a few features that hark back to the past, like the large cabinets filled with curios and the vintage wall signs.

One of our favourite parts of the home, however, is just how bright it feels – that's what'll happen if you fill the walls with large windows, skylights and floor-to-ceiling glass doors. If you want to feel the sun directly on your skin, you only have to step outside onto one of the pair of terraces, which have both loungers and an alfresco dining table for making the most of sunny weather.

If you're lucky with the forecast, you'll probably want to make the most of the fact that St Lunaire's main beach is less than a kilometre away and there are a few more along this stretch of Breton coastline to explore. The centre of town is just as close when you want restaurants and shops, but there's a greater variety in the Dinard, only a short drive away.

Past, Present, Future
