Domaine du Moulin Neuf

The pretty neighbouring village of Rochefort-en-Terre is set at the summit of a rocky hill dominating the Gueuzon valley. The place is filled with traditional timber-framed houses, as well as Gothic and Renaissance mansions and some pretty spectacular examples of 19th-century architecture. Next to tick off the holiday checklist will most likely be a drive out to the Gulf of Morbihan's golden sands for a swell day out by the sea, or for surfing, windsurfing and kite surfing at the seaside spots of Damgan, Pénestin, Billiers and Conleau. Also a top option while around here is a boat trip to one of the many islands a little way offshore, such as Belle Île, Groix, Hoëdic and Arz. Also visit the ancient standing stones and prehistory museum at Carnac, and top off a trip there with a stopoff at its beach or – if you’re travelling sans tiddlers – a pamper at its thalassotherapy spa.
