Quiberon, Bretagne
The house is located in the center of the village of Quiberon, 2 minutes walk from the beach and Port Maria.
The house is on the corner of the square of the regional market on Saturday and is two minutes walk from the station for the little train 'the Corkscrew' serving the Auray station (in July and August);
Quiberon is an almost island with a rugged coastline, cliffs and trails for walking and biking.
The other side is more secure especially with many beautiful sandy beaches and safe for children.
The island has a micro climate with an exceptional number of days of sunshine.
The village center has many shops.
Especially visit the islands, Belle Ile, Houat and Hoedic Islands. Boarding is at Port Maria 2 minutes from the house.
To make one thing clear: this is a nice old fisherman's house with true character that is obviously much loved by its owner. But it is not a good holiday house as one not only feels like an intruder in someone else's private house but also because it is well below-standard given the price for a week (we enjoyed another week in a popular place in Brittany closer to the sea to a much cheaper price). Not much attention is paid to cleanliness (dishes were dirty, dust everywhere, spider webs even in the living room and dead black bugs in the bathroom) and kitchen equippement, bath rooms (the leak through the ceiling) and toilets are far away from state of the art. Yes, much has been done nicely that might suit personal purpose very well, but jamming cupboards and moldy sofas are not everybody's taste. It is not the kind of place you would like to spend a long rainy Breton day in - not least because of an irritating smell in the living room. A disadvantage for all those arriving by car: there is no allocated parking space and Quiberon is running a rigorous policy against long-term parking. This means you have to cruise neighboring areas for a while to find a free space with the closest spot in 10-15 minutes walking distance. If you use Quiberon as hub for discovering the South of Brittany, add 45 minutes to a good hour every day for collecting and parking your car.
