LOCAL Area
A 20 minute drive from the accommodation takes you to the Domaine de Kerguéhennec. Here you will find an unusual sculpture park and chateau in magnificent grounds. There is a large lake and lots of woodland. There is a small café in the park and in the chateau there are often art exhibitions.
The walled city of Vannes is about a 50 minute drive from Josselin. The harbourside restaurants in Vannes are always busy in the summer months. The local seafood, oysters and mussels being particularly popular.
There are many pretty Breton towns all with their own charms.
Nearby is the charming town of La Gacilly. During the summer months an outdoor photographic exhibition is held. Boat trips on the canal are available. The Yves Rocher factory, shop and Spa are situated here.
Rochefort-en-Terre, about 45 minutes away, was voted “prettiest village in France” in 2015. With its cobbled streets, plentiful restaurants and shops, it is a must on your holiday agenda!
'Musée de la Résistance de Bretagne'
The fascinating 'Musée de la Resistance is at St Marcel. It chronicles the vital role played by the people of Brittany at the time of the German Occupation during the second World War.
Close to St Marcel is the delightful market and canalside town of Malestroit.
The zoo at Pont Scorff is ideal for younger members of the family (about 1 hour away)
The Prehistoric Park at Malansac, about 45 minutes away, is another great day out for the youngsters. There are 30 scenes of reconstruction of the dinosaur age. The park is based on models and information from the Natural History Museum in Paris.
Nearby (1 hour drive) is the stunning medieval city of Rennes, capital of Brittany. There are numerous outdoor cafés and restaurants in the picturesque square plus shops so perfect if you want some retail therapy!
Chez Dizjon is in the Department of Morbihan in the beautiful region of Brittany in northern France.
Brittany is easily accessible from the Uk via several Ferry Ports and is also served by flights from the Uk to 4 French airports.

The cuisine in the area includes crepes and galettes and of course the seafood! Mussels and oysters are available throughout the region, particularly in the summer months. Cider is produced here and local varieties are available in all supermarkets and restaurants.

    I find Chez Dizjon to be a home from home. I have been three times already with yet another booked in July and another soon to be booked for next year. We love the area in Brittainy and the house whilst not perfect isd for us exactly what we want and feels great. Good quality appliances in a super area and spacious.

    A very convenient place to stay. It gets better as you climb up. The back entrance is a bit off-putting, it would not take much to make it more welcoming. Sitting rooms and bedrooms lovely.

    We had a very relaxing week here. Wonderful location with walking from the doorstep around town and along the canal sides. . A choice of eating places with easy reach from creperie to something a little more fancy . With , a bakery straight across the road it was easy to get fresh croissants for breakfast . (Shuts on Wednesday - others available)) Enjoyed sitting on the patio area watching the birds at the feeders and just taking in the ambiance. The daily step count was improved with all the stairs to negotiate from the driveway to the top of the house - but no issue if you capable . Bikes and helmets also provided.

    Perfect location. Baker shop 1 min from front door. Canal path two mins walk. Steep internal stairs to bedrooms and from car parking; beware if you are of limited mobility. Great sun trap in garden and secure parking. Wonderful market. Lots of restaurants with meal at hotel across the canal (2 mins walk) is highly recommended.

    This is my second review of this wonderful home from home. We love the area and love the property which has all you need for a comfortable stay. Owners changed the TV whilst we were there so it's now working perfectly with English channels so a five star review from us. We will come back again for another stay next year

    House is wonderful, so is location!!!! Beware… We arrived after dark and there is no lighting from driveway up the terraced landings/steps or bottom floor. Bring a flashlight. But, we had a FABULOUS vacation!
