Camping Ker Therese

From gentle amusements (bouncy castles, ball pits and miniature trains) to thrill rides (drop towers, rollercoasters and big wheels), Kingoland (20 minutes’ drive) has all the ingredients for an entertaining family day out. There are also lively performances with acrobats and magicians. From the Nantes–Brest Canal, Josselin Castle (half an hour) impresses with its forbidding stone walls and imposing turrets. However, this 11th-century fortress has another, softer side: an elegant, intricately carved Renaissance façade overlooking a formal garden. Take a leisurely stroll, following the path down to the English garden, where you can stop for a picnic among hydrangeas and rhododendrons. Surrounded by forested hills laced with trails, bridleways and mountain bike routes, Lake Guerlédan (40 minutes) is a large reservoir created in the 1930s. You can have a bash at kayaking, fish for pike or just find a quiet beach for swimming and relaxing.
