You'll find bicycles, golfing, and more on site at this family-friendly vacation home. Jump into your car and make short work of the 4-minute drive to Mathurin Meheut Museum or the 5-minute drive to Haras National de Lamballe (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

Relax by the communal pool or sip a drink in the garden of this vacation home, which also features a deck or patio and outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at table tennis, or enjoy the internet and TV.

Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchenette, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. And there's access to laundry facilities, so you can even pack a bit lighter.
