In Brittany, where Merlin still sleeps

In the Côtes d'Armor region, in peaceful countryside away from the summer hordes but near the sea. On the outskirts of a village that is situated ten or so kilometres from a small town with all amenities. Three hours from Paris.

At the bottom of a small valley with a stream, a wooded driveway with entrance gate leads directly to the castle’s main courtyard. The property spans approximately 16 hectares, divided  into woods and rolling meadows, with two lakes.

The southwest facade of the castle overlooks the main courtyard. A round 15th century tower adjoins the west wing. It has a wall-walk and machicolation, topped with a polygonal turret with a steep sided roof. To the north is another rectangular wing.
This traditional construction of dressed local stone still has numerous architectural features: terracotta tiles, monumental fireplaces, exposed beams, a granite spiral stairway, cornices, roof dormers, chimney pots carved with the Knights Templar cross and scallop shells.

The ancient Celtic land of Brittany is home to Arthurian legends, faery forests, mysterious stone alignments, cider, crepes, and seafood.
