About the Location
There are many interesting places to visit in the area around La Briquerie. Brochures and maps have been left in the Cottages to give you plenty of ideas for day trips and excursions - below are some of the more well-known tourist attractions
Le Jardin Anglais at Port-de-Roche in Langon was originally created by Alan Mason and featured on Gardens Without Borders on Channel 4. There are over six acres of lawns and formal flowerbeds, as well as several water gardens and an outstanding rose garden. It is open to the public from May to October and is an easy cycle ride away (about 3km) - lunch at a nearby restaurant will give you the energy to cycle back!
La-Chapelle-Ste-Agathe in Langon has an original Roman fresco but the chapel is only open as part of a guided tour in July and August (a tour in English is available). Langon and St-Just (a 15-minute drive) have many megaliths and menhirs. The standing stones cover several acres of moorland which is also a great place for picnics and rambling.
Redon, Nantes & Rennes have excellent shops, bars and restaurants. Redon, the largest local town, is situated at the confluence of two major rivers. It has a pleasure port and many good restaurants and bistros on the "island" in the old town. There is a market every Monday and the huge Leclerc hypermarket (Nantes direction) is a great place to buy goodies to take home.
La Gacilly - home of Yves Rocher - is a very picturesque town with many interesting shops, artisans, bars and restaurants. There is also a factory shop of Yves Rocher products. La Gacilly is a 20-minute drive away and could be combined with a trip to Rochefort-en-Terre, but choosing which town to have lunch in might prove difficult!
Rochefort-en-Terre (a 30-minute drive) is a small medieval city perched on a rocky spur and surrounded by deep valleys. It has shops, art galleries, restaurants and other places of interest to explore.
Pénestin (a one-hour drive) is on the coast and is famous for its "Plage de la Mine d'Or" where the sandstone cliffs shine like gold in the sunshine. The beach is lovely for swimming but can get crowded in the summer. You can buy the famous local mussels and oysters from the quayside at Tréhiguier.
La-Roche-Bernard (a 50-minute drive) is where the River Vilaine meets the sea. It is a charming, picturesque town (similar to Dartmouth) with ancient buildings perched on the hillside. You can relax and watch the world go by in one of the town's many bars and restaurants, followed by an afternoon on the beach at Pénestin.
