Lac de Guerledan is approximately 10 minutes from the cottages. It is a 400 ha lake with a range of activities, from fishing, sailing , water skiing, pedalos, and of course swimming from its sandy beaches. It also has two tourist boats that provide guided tours of the lake. The lake is surrounded by woodland with many walking and mountain biking (ATB) trails.
We are a few minutes from the Tour de France "Guerledan" stage finish. The 15% hill leading up to it is often used by professional teams and keen amateur road cyclists for training. The route also features on the annual Tour de Bretagne. We are also only a few minutes from signed bike trails which are part of the European and French national cycle network.
In addition to fishing on and around Lac de Guerledan there are numerous smaller lakes and rivers within easy distance for fishermen to enjoy their sport.
In addition to the walking around the lake there are multiple walking trails near the cottages - whether it is a small walk from right outside the cottages (circular walks possible - ideal for runners and dog walking) or longer distance walking around the lake or on local moorland, there is plenty to do.
For those looking for gentler walks or cycling, the tow-path of the Nantes-Brest canal can be accessed around 15 minutes from the cottages, and it’s possible to cycle or walk through very pleasant surroundings. The paths are spectacular in the autumn as the trees that provided shelter from the summer sun exhibit amazing displays of colour.
For the lovers of French Cuisine, there is an incredible choice, ranging from local crepes and cider or traditional country fare in the local village restaurants, to exquisite a la carte meals for that special occasion at the prestigious restaurants by the lake or in the bigger towns. Our local town of Guerledan (Mur de Bretagne) 5km away, has restaurants to suit all budgets - from a Michelin starred restaurant to a simple but high quality pizzeria, and a creperie. We are less than hour away from the sea, so the the seafood that Brittany is famous for is readily available, both in the shops and in the restaurants, and is always beautifully fresh.
Many local restaurants specialise in seafood dishes, including a broad selection of fish dishes in their daily menu, and the famous Breton sardines or Moules frites can be found in almost any town in Brittany.
