 Location 

 

The quiet village of Bieuzy Les Eaux is 5 minutes drive down the road, providing basic commodities. A larger supermarket is a little further away at Plum�liau for all your everyday needs, and much larger shopping centres in Baud 15 minutes away and Pontivy, about 20 minutes away.

 

The house is situated 4 kms from the River Blavet town of St. Nicholas des Eaux, a charming riverside village with bars, cafes and restaurants. The river is navigable to Pontivy where it joins the Nantes to Brest canal, with relaxing boat trips or canoe hire for the more energetic. For those who walk or cycle, the tow path can be followed throughout its length, and if this is too energetic, the river has the reputation as being one of the best fishing rivers, including salmon and trout in France (permit required).

The historic medieval and interesting town of Pontivy is only 12 kms away. A variety of shops, restaurants, 4 screen cinema and a swimming pool can be found here. The town also has a chateau and museums.
