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.

Located in Plumieux, this charming home is welcoming in a minimalist kind of way, and under the exposed rafters, you’ll find the space to socialise, relax, and completely unwind. 

Beyond the four walls, you’ll find an outdoor area perfectly capable of hosting alfresco meals every day, so delight in the fresh air as you dig into scrambled eggs and croissants for breakfast every morning. The ancient church spire can also be seen from out here, and if you wish to get a closer look at the whole building, you can walk to Église Saint-Pierre in mere minutes.

Explore the rest of the village or travel to Loudéac, at the other end of a short drive, for more dining and shopping options. If you’re staying in, take advantage of the terrace for socialising with cheese and wine. Move inside and turn the dining table into a tabletop for board games or spend quiet evenings in conversation in the cosy living room.

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 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.

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 

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

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

Parking On Street

A sharp contrast to the ancient city of Vannes, this modern apartment offers all of the home comforts needed for a desirable stay for two along the Gulf of Morbihan. Set in a traditional stone building in La Madeleine, you're surrounded by cosy cafés, bakeries, mini-markets and restaurants, while the narrow cobbled streets of Old Vannes are a ten-minute walk from your doorstep. 

From ornamental marble fireplaces and velvet armchairs to abundant natural light and vibrant pops of colour, every decorative detail has been lovingly considered to create a calm and comfortable pad for your return each day. So whether you're enjoying a cuppa' tea in the living room or having a French breakfast at the window-side dining table, it's easy to settle in and feel right at home. 

When it's time to head out, you're a short ten-minute stroll from the Garden of the Ramparts, while Port de Vannes and Porte Saint-Vincent are no more than fifteen minutes away on foot. It's a commune that's rich in history and culture, so there's always something to see and do here.

Lemon Madeleine

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

Sun Loungers / Beach Chairs

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.

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

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

Making a stunning first impression with its fisherman charm, this cottage in the heart of Plouhinec is a perfect home for a family visiting Brittany’s coast. This location is a swimmer’s paradise, and with the salty breeze of Morbihan surrounding you, you’ll wake up ready to dive into the waters off of Magouëro Beach.

First thing in the morning, gather around the sleek table with an array of local cheeses, jammy confitures and a crusty baguette before heading out for a swim on Etel Beach – why not pack a picnic to enjoy on the sands ready for when hunger strikes? In the afternoon, explore the quaint Etel Port, where you can sample the native oysters and a glass of Muscadet overlooking the bobbing hulls. Return home, sink into the plump sofas for a cosy night with your loved ones and relax. Bliss.

Brittany Breton

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

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. 

Footsteps From the Sand

Bicycles

Wellness & Fitness

Sitting just outside the historic centre of Vannes with the beach less than a kilometre away, this home makes the perfect base for exploring the coast of Brittany. 

From exhilarating cycle rides (your thoughtful host has provided two bikes for you to use during your stay) to refreshing dips in the sea and sunset strolls along the shoreline, there’s everything you could need to experience the natural beauty of northwest France. And when you’re inspired to learn more about the region's rich history, make your way to the narrow cobbled streets and medieval gates of the town centre. You’ll find Cathédrale Saint-Pierre and the colourful half-timbered houses are just a short drive away. There are also lovely local restaurants and bars, as well as vibrant markets within easy reach – perfect for stocking up on fresh produce and French delicacies. And after a day full of fresh sea air, this home welcomes you to relax and enjoy its calm simplicity.

Open the doors from the living room and you’ll find the garden welcoming you to savour refreshing drinks and nourishing meals around the table. And when the weather draws you back inside, the living room provides a laid-back setting for sharing stories, reading and cosy movie nights. 

Maison Clémente 

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.

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

Swimming Pool

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.

Aqua Dream

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.

In a peaceful hamlet in Cancale, nestled between the sea and the friendly town center lies this beautiful family home with enough space for everyone to stretch their legs. With a sizable garden and a beautiful indoor pool, you'll be able to make the most of this home whether rain or shine in the beautiful Cancale, known for its seafood delights and magnificent ports.

Spend your stay visiting beautiful Emerald Coast beaches, trying out Cancale's famous seafood, or experiencing one of several nearby ports with their own activities and beautiful nature to explore. The peaceful and practical location of this home lends itself perfectly to those wishing to go on their own excursions in the area, visiting Saint-Malo, the Mont St Michel, Port Mer and many others where you can make beautiful memories without worrying about finding yourself in the center of a tourist trap. And when you're all tired out you can return to this idyllic home and dine alfresco on the terrace at dusk, surrounded by the perfect mix of nature and modern comfort.

Drifting Towards Tranquility

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.

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.

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.

Want to get away from the everyday? A stay in a quintessentially French gîte ought to do the trick. This cobblestoned house is packed full of character – from the rustic exposed beams, to the gorgeous view through the windows on the gabled roof, to the delightful fireplace in the living area. And did we mention there's a heated swimming pool too?

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. In the evening, cook up some delicious French meats on your barbecue and tuck in while watching the sunset, or gather around your fireplace with a bottle of burgundy and enjoy late-night conversations with loved ones.

Cobblestones & Cool Waters

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

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

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

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

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

First Aid Kit

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.

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

You, Me & The Sea

Pool / Snooker Table

Consider yourself on the peaceful shores of Brittany – walking barefoot on the sand, taking an impromptu dip in the sea, strolling through the grounds of your own private estate and the bliss of uninterrupted views wherever you turn. Add to that an abundance of charm and character, and you’ll find yourself here, in this home on Pointe du Blair overlooking the Gulf of Morbihan.

Set across two floors, each of the rooms has its own distinctive personality – welcoming you to relax and experience the magic of this unique setting. From the large living room with its traditional stone fireplace to the snug kitchen and cosy bedrooms, this is the perfect setting for an intimate celebration and rejuvenating retreat. And when the beautiful views draw you outside, you’ll find an abundance of space to lounge under the trees, get lost in a book and savour dreamy barbecue meals that stretch long into the evening. 

When you feel inspired to explore beyond this peaceful sanctuary, you’ll find the spectacular beaches of Morbihan are just a short drive away. Golfers will love the close proximity to Golf de Baden (ten minutes away), while water sports enthusiasts will find themselves in perfect heaven in Arradon – just a fifteen-minute drive away.

Maison Champagne

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

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. 


Jungle Greens

You’ll also be able to rustle up light meals in the kitchen and share them with your loved ones at the dining table. There’s also a balcony here, where you can admire city views and enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning. 

A night of restful sleep is promised by the three plush bedrooms, and with the sleek bathroom, you’re guaranteed a restful stay here.

Keep on Shining 

Ceiling Fans

Doorman

If you’d like to explore a little, begin with a wander along the city walls then discover the history of the Château de Saint-Malo. Amble down the narrow streets of the Intra-Muros – deliberate over menus outside traditional eateries, peruse the independent boutiques and savour sweet crepes in an unfussy creperie.
