Slow Village Breizh Légendes

This is a walkers' paradise: the spectacular long-distance GR34 trail runs adjacent to the site, making it a breeze for guests to stroll along the coast and explore neighbouring towns and villages. Nearby Plouguerneau (25 minutes' drive) is a scenic port town with an impressive lighthouse and friendly surf school (you can also hire equipment here if you're already dab hand). More maritime jaunts are to be had in Brest (45 minutes), home to the National Navy Museum, and Roscoff (45 minutes), a port town whose botanical garden has one of the best collections of exotic plants in France. Roscoff can also be your launchpad for offshore adventure. Take the ferry from the harbour to the Île de Batz (crossing time 15 minutes) and explore this gem of an isle (being almost totally car-free, this is one of the most peaceful spots around). Further coastal capers are on hand at the Château du Taureau (45 minutes' drive, then a 15-minute crossing), an island fortress with spectacular coastal views. For an even more dramatic setting, make tracks for Bertheaume Iroise Aventure (one hour), an adventure park with zipwires that zoom right over the Atlantic.
