The house is ideally situated to visit this part of the
beautiful "COTES D'ARMOR". It is indeed located near:

-the castle of "La roche -Jagü" and its beautiful park, (free
entrance to the gardens), a few minutes' walk away
-the beautiful river Trieux, and its preserved surroundings (you can
walk down to the river from the house, and follow the riverside to
Pontrieux )
-the lovely little town of PONTRIEUX, a historical place well-known
for its festivals celebrating the places where women used to do
their washing by the river, and for the steam train linking the
sailing harbour to the city of PAIMPOL on the coast, providing on
the way nice views over the TRIEUX river
-PAIMPOL, famous for its fishing harbour, its cockles and scallops,
its oysters too, its nice touristic town center, its international
festival of sailors’songs(beginning of august 05 )
-TREGUIER, an old religious city, on the river JAUDY, its famous
cathedral, important market, monuments and little paved streets
leading to the sailing harbour
-LEZARDRIEUX, fishing and sailing harbour where the famous and
regretted French singer Georges BRASSENS had a villa (a beach was
given his name)
not far from
- PERROS GUIRREC and the well-known "COTE DE GRANIT ROSE" (very
special pink rocks!)
- the ISLAND OF BREHAT, a little jewel (so flowery and so much charm)
-the wild coast, and particularly the post-signed circuit leading to
the site of "Le Gouffre" (the abyss)
-the SILLON DE TALBERT, a strange geographical phenomenon
-LANNION, GUINGUAMP, picturesque traditional towns
-and not forgetting the unique site of PLEMEUR-BODOU, with
its "radôme", now used as a museum explaining the history of
telecommunications(other places of interest in the area for rainy
days!)

Sandy and rocky beaches : a large choice, to make according to your
wishes and to the tide! What we liked most in the area, which is not
to be found in many places: the variety of scenery, particularly
with the tide amplitude.
The main town is SAINT BRIEUX (a 40 minutes’drive), several medium-
sized towns nearby.

We 've chosen this house (bought in October 2002) for our children
and ourselves, to spend part of our holidays. Nice, in a very quiet
place, yet not isolated, a preserved area, with a nice view over
the countryside, surrounded by fields (horses and various cultures),
woods on the other side of the river, a terrace facing south, a
functional house, spacious, with enough room for friends and family.

THE OUTSIDE
It's an old typical stone-house, called “longère” (part of the
stones is no more visible, due to the extension added about ten
years ago). It’s nicely restored, as we want it to fit our tastes
and to be as functional as possible.

The garden is about 900 m², located on the sides of the houses
mainly, and also on the front, with the terrace facing south.
Typical flowers from Brittany : the "hortensias" and the
blue “agapanthes", so marvelous when in bloom. Brand-new lawn,
flower bushes, and trees as well. Space to park the car. The little
road at the front of the house is used only by the people living in
the area (cul -de- sac), so it is really very quiet and safe for
children (and there's a fence along most of it). Parasol, garden
furniture, chairs, sun beds ).
The house is at the top of a small hill, the scenery is : fields,
a wood on the other side of the river valley, churchspires far away,
trees.. The neighbours are not far, three or four houses nearby, the
nearest about 200 meters away, but you can’ t really see them.
