About the Property:
Set in a superb location, Villa Littoral faces the Atlantic Ocean and the Ile de Groix, this newly renovated and traditional holiday property is all about location, location, location!
Not only is Villa Littoral located in a wonderful setting with a beach that is right in front of the house but the beach itself is as good as private, although it is worth noting that public access is possible over the rocks of the far promontory. Access to the beach from the property is through a door located in the garden down a few steps, a bit like a hidden secret!
From the villa you can also walk to the restaurants, bars and bakery all within a ten-minute stroll from the house on and off along the sea front. As if this was not enough just behind the property runs the coastal path and there are lots of great walks and bikes ride to be had.
The little town of Ploemeur attracts people in search of unspoilt scenery and an ideal spot to relax and discover the hidden gems of this wonderful part of southern Brittany including a selection of lovely beaches and small coves.
The region is known for its coastal scenery, lovely sandy beaches, pretty fishing villages and opportunities for hiking, biking, horse riding and more. There is a surf school 6.5km away (Fort Bloqué) or in Guidel Plage (12km) which offers courses. You can also go canoeing, kite surfing and jet skiing.
Just a few kilometres away is the main road running the along the Brittany coastline offering relatively easy access to many of the main attractions along this beautiful stretch coast including Concarneau, Pont Aven, Lorient, Auray and Vannes.
Property size: 150m².

COASTAL WALKS
With over 700 miles of coastline Brittany offers a great variety of walking for all levels from dramatic cliffs to marshland teeming with wildlife and wooded tidal creeks to long sandy beaches backed by sand dunes. Including a stretch of the coast in a circular walk is often very straightforward. This is especially easy where peninsulas jut out into the sea and following the coast path brings you almost back to your starting point.
DAY TRIP IDEAS
Lorient (9km)
Lorient has a rich naval history and the many yachts and buildings surrounding the harbour reflect this as well as the German submarine base which has been turned into a tourist attraction. Why not spend the day in Lorient and hop on a ferry to the Ile de Groix which is located opposite the property. The crossing takes 45 minutes and the island which is the second biggest in Brittany after Belle-Ile has much to offer including lovely beaches, pretty colourful houses in the village, market twice a week and you can even hire bikes to cycle around the island on cycle paths over moorland, hidden coves and many beautiful beaches.
Ile de Groix
Lying opposite the property (4.5km as the crow flies) the island is accessible by boat from Lorient. The crossing lasts about 50 minutes and the landmarks worth seeing are Port-Louis 16th century fortification, the Grands Sables beach and the Pen Men lighthouse. The island has a wonderful landscape with high and jagged cliffs, seashell beaches as well as coves with red sand or wide stretches of thin and white sand. It is also home of bird reserve which protects a wide range of seabirds.
Doelan (26km)
The close by unspoilt fishing port of Doelan is now famous across France. This quiet haven at the mouth of a wooded creek with just a few quayside restaurants, bars and cafes was the location for the hit French TV version of Doc Martin (with the same title as the original UK series).
Concarneau (55km)
The main attraction of this important fishing port on the south Brittany coast is Ville Clos, a small walled town built on an island in the natural harbour. Accessed by a bridge from the quayside, the narrow streets within the granite ramparts are lined with shops and restaurants.
Golfe du Morbihan (60km)
The Morbihan Gulf is a massive inland sea dotted with numerous islands; only a narrow channel connects it to the open sea. Some of the islands can be explored on foot or by bike, while a great way to discover the enormity of the Golfe is aboard one of the many pleasure boats that ply the creeks and open waters between the small harbours. The area is littered with prehistoric monuments – not to be missed are the stone avenues of Carnac (under an hour’s drive) as well as the delights of old Vannes and Auray.

The region offers many sporting and leisure activities.
Surfing school in Fort Bloqué (6.5km) or in Guidel Plage (12km) offering surfing, sailing, jet skiing and canoeing.

It’s a privilege to be able to stay at Villa Littoral… The pictures you can see of the house simply don’t prepare you for how lovely this is.
