This home is in the jolly seaside town of Carnac Plage, putting shops, restaurants and cafés all on your doorstep. It’s also just a two-minute dander to the town’s popular sweep of sandy beach, with calm shallows perfect for bathing and paddling.  A traditional-style French townhouse with white-wash wooden shutters hides a modern interior. The breezy, open living area has a handful of seating areas for the group to spread out on and a kitchen big enough for the bustle of a busy family breakfast time. It’s all centred around a fireplace at the heart of the home. The garden is a real treat, set with alfresco dining for the group and bursting with alliums and hydrangea and shaded by ancient trees.

Spend an idyllic afternoon on the white sands of Carnac's Grande Plage – we love that this fabulous beach is just a hop and a skip away. If you tire of dipping your toes in the crystal clear waters of the Iroise Sea – unlikely, we know – this town offers a myriad of other attractions to enjoy. It has more megalithic sites than you can shake a stick at – around 3000 standing stones to be exact, giving it the world's greatest concentration. If that's not your thing, head to the Carnac Spa for all sorts of thalassotherapy treatments. Of course, there's also a wide choice of seafood restaurants and boutiques to choose from right on your doorstep. You don't have to go anywhere to enjoy the seascape though. Just take a seat on your south-facing balcony and enjoy the vista opening up to the sea. Inside, a blend of calming greys, beach tones, nautical themes and natural materials create an abode that feels both stylish and homely. At the end of the day, the tastefully decorated and comfy bedrooms will ensure you have a good night's sleep – which is a good job, with so much on offer in this slice of Brittany.

On the terrace, take a dip in the swimming pool or lie back on a sun lounger with a book, or settle down on the lounge set for drinks with family and friends. Inside, the open-plan living space boasts a contemporary kitchen with diner plus a substantial corner sofa – the perfect place to put your feet up at the end of the day. There are also plenty of useful amenities for a longer stay, including a washing machine, dryer, and freezer. This home has a fantastic location, too; it's just a 10-minute drive from the historic town of Carnac and the beach at Sainte-Barbe. Elsewhere, the Quiberon peninsula is also worth a visit – make sure to pick up some canned sardines, the town's delicacy. Return home as the sun goes down for a barbecue in the garden, perhaps with a glass of local Brittany wine.

The Marine Garden

Lift Access

This cozy 3-room apartment is located in a residential district just 50 meters from the sea with direct access to the beach. The apartment is situated on the fourth floor and has a south-facing terrace with beautiful sea views. It features comfortable furnishings, including a living/dining room with a flat-screen TV, two bedrooms, and a fully equipped kitchen with an oven, dishwasher, and microwave. The apartment also includes a washing machine and free WiFi. Guests can enjoy nearby attractions such as Alignements dolmens et menhirs, Presqu'île de Quiberon 15 km, Vannes 30 km, Lorient 50 km. Parking is available on-site and there is an elevator in the building for easy access.

The Compass Rose

Just a nine-minute drive from the awe-inspiring, prehistoric Carnac Stones, this stone villa might not be as ancient, but it’s certainly got a different type of allure. Your apartment is set up in the sloped roof of this traditional home, where the rich wood of the pine planks brings warmth and colour to otherwise understated interiors. We love the natural feel of the living and dining space – wicker chairs and decorations, faux fur throws, and pale wooden floors are illuminated by a sloped window and the glass doors leading to the balcony. This cute outdoor spot looks out to views of nearby gardens. We think it's the perfect place to enjoy a fresh baguette, nibble some olives, and sip a chilled glass of sauvignon blanc. At bedtime, ascend the staircase to the mezzanine floor. Mirrored wardrobes extend the space, with yet more fabulous wooden slatted ceilings to wake up to. After your morning café au lait, grab your beach towel and take an eight-minute walk to Plage de Carnac. Spend the morning trying watersports like kitesurfing, then spend the afternoon sunbathing while you listen to the lapping waves.

Granite Fields

Rain Shower

Carnac is a fabulous hub of quaint churches, artisan cheesemongers, delicious seafood restaurants, and prehistoric monuments. This town’s eclectic mix of activities is sure to keep you on your toes, but it’s equally wonderful for simply sunbathing on the shore. And when you're living on a street called Boulevard de la Plage, you can imagine that there might be a beach in sight. A five-minute stroll from the beachfront of Grande Plage de Carnac, this modern studio is the perfect base for your seaside stay. Set in a mid-century block of flats, the understated exteriors don’t give away much about what you’ll find inside. Elegant and sophisticated, your living space features wooden floors, cabinets, and a wicker lampshade which bring a certain warmth to this cosy space. With your own little private balcony, alfresco dining is certainly on the cards. Break into a fresh baguette with a few slices of Saint-Paulin cheese (a Breton favourite) and olive oil as you plan the afternoon ahead. If you’ve eaten too much for watersports and swimming on the beach, take a seven-minute drive to the Carnac Stones – these granite megaliths date as far back as 4500 BC.

Saint-Paulin

Desk / Workplace

Part of a building constructed only in 2022, you can certainly tell that this apartment is a recent addition to Brittany. Everything about the interior feels fresh and contemporary, from the stark white walls and on-trend mid-century furnishings to the oh-so-modern kitchen.

Another big draw is the balcony, which has plenty of space for outdoor dinners that stretch long into the evening. Alternatively, you can bring a taste of alfresco life to the interior by sliding open the large glass doors and letting in a coastal breeze.

When it comes to seeing a little more of the local area, you don't have far to reach the seaside — indeed, Plage de Beaumer takes eight minutes to reach on foot. The famous Carnac stones — a collection of megalithic standing stones, tombs and burial mounds — are a similar amount of time away by car.

The Pleasure is All Mine

Fireplace

When it comes to long-awaited holidays, we sometimes want them so jam-packed with adventure that we can't decide where to actually go. This wooden home in Bretagne may make things easier for you. Want a holiday by the pool, where you are only breaking away from the loungers to have lunch? Done. We'll throw in a hot tub as well, in case your muscles need a soak. Want to have a quick round of gold? Check – the closest golf course is only ten kilometres away. Plus, the beaches of Bretagne are under fifteen-minutes by car. There's an outdoor barbecue if you're into cooking your meals, or many restaurants around in case you want a round of oysters and a bottle of Pouilly Fumé. Come evening, cuddle up on the sofas in the living room and start the fire – a round of charades and off to bed. Repeat the next day. 

Treasure Grove

Nestled amidst established gardens, yet just moments from Carnac's longest and most popular beach – this apartment has a location that's hard to beat. With a mere two-minute stroll you can be in the heart of the bustling resort centre for a spot of lunch, before heading over to Carnac’s renowned thalassotherapy and spa for some rejuvenation. Or for the culture vultures, spend the afternoon exploring Carnac’s Stones – an exceptionally dense collection of megalithic sites (top fact - they pre-date Stonehenge by around 100 years). Back at home, you’ll find fresh, modern interiors throughout. Families or groups of friends sharing will appreciate the two separate bathrooms, meaning no valuable time wasted queuing for the shower. We're particularly fond of the private balcony that gives way to green views of the quiet gardens below and has a dining table ready to go for an evening of alfresco dining. The same green views are also enjoyed from the two bedrooms, meaning you’re all in for a peaceful night's sleep here.

A Bolt Hole From The Blue

Serene mornings tucking into breakfast on your private terrace and evenings watching the sunset over the sea will be part of your daily routine in this apartment. The seafront is right on your doorstep so you never have to go far to enjoy the breeze and immerse yourself in nature. As if that weren’t enough, the Quiberon Golf course is a fifteen-minute walk away and Sofitel Quiberon Thalassa Sea & Spa is even closer, so you can indulge in thalassotherapy treatments and massages, relax in the sauna and play a game of golf all in one day. Having said that, days at home making your favourite meals, sipping cocktails after dinner and binge-watching films are not to be neglected.

Turquoise Treat

Bicycles

Whether you’re spending lazy days with your loved ones indoors or exploring the landmarks of Quiberon, a stay in this home means that you’re never far from the comforts of holiday life. Aqua tones, pearly white walls and the sunlight shining through the glass doors make this home as soothing as the nearby seas and sands. Have brunch in the living area and recline on the sofa for some quality time with friends or family. Stroll down to Port Maria Beach which is just fifty metres away from the home. Sofitel Quiberon Thalassa Sea & Spa and the Quiberon golf course are equally a five-minute drive away – treat yourself to thalassotherapy treatments and massages at the spa after a few hours on the putting green. Dinner followed by lounging sessions on the balcony is the perfect way to end the day.

Laptop Friendly Workspace

Beautifully modernised and an architectural dream, this home will be the backdrop to a memorable stay. Nature is brought indoors tastefully through materials and textures, reminiscent of the stunning surrounding garden and beach on your doorstep. Downstairs is open plan and flooded with light – the ideal space for entertaining a large gathering of loved ones. Towering skylights offer a peak at the stars as you relax in front of the log burner on those cooler evenings. Each bedroom is clean and modern with a soft chalk colour palette, tastefully breaking up the serenity of white. We love how each room has a beam of French sunlight creating stunning shadow patterns through the unique windows. 

During summer, enjoy breakfast alfresco on your classic wooden terrace. The deck chairs are tucked around the corner to pop your feet up if you fancy a slower morning, feeling the gentle breeze on your face. Residing moments away from the glistening coastline means all the seaside entertainment is at your fingertips. You won’t need to leave your garden to have a memorable afternoon, however, with a ping pong table and other activities at home to enjoy. Pour yourself a glass of fine French wine, fire up the barbecue and you'll be in for a wonderful stay.

With a view over the Anse de Doëlan, lazy afternoons can be spent watching the movements in the marina from the overlooking terrace of this home. Can you picture it? Sitting out on the deck with a glass of wine as the boats make their voyages? Almost as if counting sheep, you might find the activity calming and meditative, which probably has a little to do with the surroundings of this home. Tranquil and ripe with opportunity to visit the beaches around Le Pouldu, the woodland of Carnoët – with hiking trails in the famous GR 34 – there is plenty that will instil a soothing connection to the great outdoors. Even back home, you can open the bi-fold doors separating the living room from the terrace, and sit down to a gaping view of this corner of Brittany.  

Start your mornings in the kitchen, where you can top up on coffee before escaping onto the second terrace for a few contemplative moments. Sit out there until the rest of the group makes their way downstairs and grab hold of a cooking assistant. Work on a breakfast you can enjoy at the dining table before setting off for an explorative day.

With ample light filtering into the living room – from both the bi-fold doors and the skylights – bookworms will likely find this space their refuge. Sprawl out on the couch to enjoy the peace in quiet as you get lost in fictional worlds. 

Explore Le Pouldu and Lorient – during the summer months, both have a busy cultural calendar and you can join in the festivities before making it back home in time for the sunset.

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.

You can spend an idyllic morning tucking into a crusty French baguette with apricot jam around your alfresco dining set, while you gaze out at views of the lake in the distance. Get a few laps of the pool in to cool off, before heading out to explore the French countryside, or perhaps one of the surrounding towns – Quimper and Nantes are located just a short drive away, both charming towns that are steeped in history.

This beautiful, thatched 19th-century cottage is as pretty as a picture. We love the gorgeous panoramic views of the river, sea, and the port from the south-facing terrace and garden. It's the perfect spot to watch the boats go by while tucking into some seafood washed down with a glass of local cider.

The interiors are just as charming as the exterior, with exposed stone walls, terracotta floors, vases of hydrangea and whitewashed beamed ceilings decorated with oars and fishing lines. Gather around the hearth with its deer antlers and wood burner when the Brittany weather turns chilly. There are more of those lovely river vistas from inside too. This place is a great retreat for family or friends all year round.

There's plenty to explore out and about – it's less than a minute's walk to the river, while Névez is just 4 kilometres away.

Whether you're hoping to sunbathe, go sailing or get the adrenaline pumping with various available watersports, you're in the right place. You won't have to worry about the necessities, either – head down to Sarzeau's weekly market on Friday and pick up some fresh local produce. Whether you're enjoying the Breton landscape or immersing yourself in the day-to-day life of a local, you'll feel right at home.

Sunkissed Sarzeau

This attractive home is a splendid choice for a family holiday. It’s at the heart of Moëlean sur Mer, just 500 metres from Place de l’Eglise de Moëlean but on a quiet street. 

The house is pretty and bright, with a lovely open-plan living and dining space. This is the heart of the home, where you’ll gather to cook and dine together, and relax in the evenings. You might shop at the weekly local market for fresh ingredients, and whip up Breton pancakes or pork rillettes. 

Outside, the enclosed garden is delightful in the afternoon. Soak up the sunshine on a sun lounger, or gather around the table for snacks and a chilled glass of wine. The south-facing terrace is perfect in the early evening, when the sun is starting to dip in the sky. 

It takes just fifteen minutes by car to reach some of Brittany’s nicest beaches – pack a picnic and make a day of it. You might also take a day-trip to Pont-Aven – the famous painters’ village is just twenty minutes away. Who knows, perhaps you’ll come away feeling inspired and paint the next great masterpiece on the terrace. 


Aromatic Azalea

Set in a sleepy hamlet in north-west France, this 19th-century house has been fully remodelled with contemporary furniture and a range of mod cons. Driftwood panelling and parquet floors create a warm, cosy ambience, while the plush carpets and occasional intricate antique act as reminders of the property's glorious past. Gather together your travel companions and treat them to a delectable French meal you've whipped up in the fully-equipped kitchen — the local speciality is Poulet Breton, which is chicken in a sauce of crème fraîche, cider and mustard. It's not hard to picture lazy meals that stretch on for hours while you’re sipping wine, chit-chatting and making memories. When the weather is agreeable, the beach is only 500 metres down the road past villas and lush open fields. On this sandy stretch, you can experience days of pure ocean bliss, whether swimming in the shimmering waters, topping off your tan or building sandcastles. In the evening, fire up the barbecue out in the lush garden and enjoy a quiet evening with your loved ones under the stars.

If you dream of waking up to coffee and a garden of greens, purples, blues, and pinks, then look no further than this captivating home in the French countryside where you can come down after a peaceful night’s sleep, brew a fresh cuppa and sit outside simply enjoying the scent in the air and the sounds of nature all around. The manicured landscape and decking is, of course, one of the standout features about this home, but inside is pretty special too. 

The exposed beams, as well as the feature stone wall – which perfectly matches the cladding of the facade – all serve as reminders that this is in fact a farmhouse, but the way in which it has been modernised means the similarities end there. Rustic chic and modern design decisions come together to create an atmosphere of homeliness, but with an elegant twist. 

Bake together in the kitchen and eat the yield around the kitchen island before it has even had a chance to cool down. Barbeque, dine alfresco, and enjoy drinks on the deck at sunset. Light the wood-burning stove for a cosy evening of board games or to watch a family movie together, and after dark, sneak back out for a bit of stargazing 

The Green Escape

There's one main reason that people flock to the town of Damgan and that's the long stretches of idyllic beaches that dominate the coastline in this corner of Brittany. With this in mind, you can see why we're so smitten with this apartment that's only 80 metres from the seaside.

Having said that, there's more riding in the home's favour than its prime position on the map. The design is sleek and contemporary, with a preference for walls painted in muted grey, sleek surfaces and white furnishings. The bedrooms might lie on the smaller side, but the open and light-filled communal space more than makes up for it – if not, the private balcony should act as a sweetener.
 
When it comes to filling up your itinerary, more active types will be overjoyed at the number of outdoor excursions that are easy to try here, whether it's renting bicycles and watersports equipment or simply swimming in the Gulf of Morbihan. The town centre is only 150 metres from the home when you want restaurants, cafes and bars.

Scent of the Sea

Secured Parking

This modern home blends in beautifully with its surroundings. The natural stone-clad exterior hides a plush interior filled with soft, velvet couches, wooden floors, an open-hearth fireplace and bedrooms that look as if they belong in a boutique hotel. There’s a grand dining table with sumptuous chairs where you can enjoy a home-cooked meal prepared in the slick black-and-white kitchen. Outside, the heated swimming pool and sun deck have views over grassy fields to where the Loire meets the wild Atlantic. The best part is that you’re just 100 metres from the sea and long, lazy days on the beach. On rare cooler evenings, light up the fireplace and settle in for a movie marathon.
