A stone's throw from the sandy beaches of Cancale, in the picture-pretty bay of Port Mer, this charming home offers the very best of coastal living. Boasting a gorgeous garden with plenty of cosy spots to sit down and breathe in the salty sea air, start your days with coffee on the lawn while watching the boats sail by. 

If you want to see the ocean up close, the beach is less than 1km away – take a walk down to the golden sands to discover what the famous Emerald Coast has to offer. When you're feeling peckish, Cancale oysters are a must-try. Head to one of the local restaurants or buy some from the Mont Saint-Michel oyster market and take them home to prepare yourself. We highly recommend an alfresco dinner on the terrace, washed down with a glass of French wine. When you're finished, head up to the terrace to watch the sunset – the waterfront views have to be seen to be believed. 

When darkness falls, head inside to cuddle up on the sumptuous sofa to watch a movie. If you're travelling with little ones, the mezzanine level dens are the perfect place for a bedtime story to make sure they settle in for a good night's sleep. 

Emerald Coast of Cancale

Paid Parking On Street

This pretty half-timbered house from the 17th century is located right in the heart of the fairytale-esque Breton town of Dinan and comfortably accommodates up to four guests in its quirky, lovingly-decorated interior that boast its own unique character. 

With a charming blend of original wood features, painted frescos, eye-catching mosaic tiles, and picture frame windows that let in plenty of light, the home feels like it has been lifted from the pages of a Brothers Grimm fairytale. Open up the windows on the ground floor and be greeted by the gentle hum of everyday French village life beyond its pane, allowing the sunlight to stream in whilst you linger over breakfast or a book. 

Step over the threshold and you'll find yourself in the midst of things here in Dinan, with everything from boulangeries to historical attractions right on your doorstep, whilst the coast and its iconic towns such as Saint-Malo are just a short drive away.

The Fairytale Townhouse

Wheelchair Access

Ideally positioned, just footsteps from Sillon Beach, this bright and modern home is all about kicking back and relaxing. Wake up feeling refreshed in the soft yellow bedroom before plating up a stack of crêpes at the matte grey kitchenette. Recline on the plump sofa and get lost in a paperback or fill your lungs with the fresh sea air on your private balcony. 

When you’re ready to explore, the heart of Saint-Malo is a short walk away. Soak up unobstructed views of the marina from the city walls then swot up on your French history at Château de Saint-Malo. At low tide, discover the Grand Bé after basking in the sunshine on Plage de Bon-Secours. Finish the day with a feast of Breton cuisine followed by a glass or two of wine in a local restaurant.

Reap all of the benefits of coastal living in this beachside home. Located in the Côtes-d'Armor area of Brittany, the most northwestern part of France, golden sandy beaches and striking pink granite cliffs are just a stone’s throw from this seaside villa.

Enjoy panoramic sea views thanks to large windows and multiple living spaces to ensure there's always a cosy corner from which to enjoy a glass of wine and a sunset. One of the two living rooms features a fireplace, perfect for getting cosy after a busy day of exploring or cycling around the coastline - bikes are provided so no need to worry about getting around.

This home is ideal for family living, thanks to a private, south-facing garden with plenty of room for playing in, plus a balcony complete with dining table for those all-important family brunches. There's even a ping pong table, which is bound to keep the kids entertained whilst the adults enjoy some well-deserved downtime.

Spend a leisurely morning sipping coffee on the terrace before heading to Fréhel's nautical centre for a spot of surfing the waves, exploring lagoons via paddle board or even boating across the Atlantic Ocean via catamaran. 

Oceanview Villa

Parking On Premises

For a Brittany beach stay like no other, this contemporary dwelling has it all. Nautical style, modern amenities and space to stretch out and relax after long days of swimming and sunbathing. And did we mention that sea view? 

Stays here are as laidback and lovely as the photos suggest. Wake up each morning with a full French breakfast on your cute dining set. Open the floor-to-ceiling patio doors and breathe in the sea air from your sunny terrace. Head down to the beach, located just a stone’s throw away, and paddle, play or put your feet up. Then return for a relaxing evening in, and sit out on the deckchairs with a bottle of French wine as you watch the sunset.

If you want to venture out beyond the beach, you’re also ideally located to explore Pléneuf-Val-André, a vibrant seaside resort boasting quaint cafes, elegant restaurants and lively bars. Bienassis Castle is based just a short drive away too if you fancy soaking up some French history. Or, take a trip up the coastline to explore more rugged shores and golden sands.


Nautical Nest

Perched cliffside above the beach of Saint-Énogat, this apartment offers idyllic sea views and makes the perfect setting for a restorative retreat on the Emerald Coast. 

From the outset, you’ll want to pause and admire the striking facade of this building – it evokes a wonderful sense of tradition and ushers you inside with a warm welcome. Head up one flight of stairs and you’ll find this apartment adds a contemporary touch to the rustic charm of its setting. From the light-filled living room styled in calming tones to the simple bedroom (with its own private balcony), every detail inspires a wonderful sense of relaxation. 

Enjoy quiet mornings with a coffee listening to the sound of the waves, sip refreshing drinks as the sunsets and prepare simple meals inspired by the fresh local produce – Saint-Énogat’s weekly market is just a short walk away. And when you’re refreshed and ready to explore, wander straight down to the beach or visit the beautiful coves and towns dotted along the coast – Saint-Malo is less than a twenty-five-minute drive away.

Maison Perle

Party of a 15th-century manor house, this cosy apartment is surrounded by trees and meadows. It's located just 2km from Concarneau city centre and 2km from the sea. The communal garden is perfect for relaxing. Inside, there's an open kitchen with a dining table and a living room with an open-hearth fireplace. It has free WiFi, a washing machine, and electric heating. Guests will enjoy easy access to nearby attractions such as Ville Close, Pointe de Trévignon, Pont Aven, Port Manec'h, and Quimper. One small dog is permitted.

Spritzed with Flora

Gorgeously restored with consideration and keen eye for detail, this converted farmhouse offers the best of both archetypal rural France and chic modernity. 

The beautifully finished living area is characterised by its plush furnishings and luxurious finishing touches, lending the entire space a sense of glamour and of occasion. The kitchen, with the same eye-catching exposed stone detailing which runs throughout the property, provides a great place for everyone to come together and prepare a meal based on Breton specialities, including the freshest local seafood pulled from the water which lies just a stone’s throw away. For those with a hankering for vitamin-sea, the superb wide sandy beach of La Guimorais is just 5-minutes’ walk from the property.

Make your way upstairs and you will find two beautifully decorated bedrooms, each of which is filled with light and a feeling of height, thanks to its sloping loft ceilings that reach up into the eaves of the old building. Old stonework contrasts with cool contemporary wallpaper in the master bedroom, continuing the theme of ‘old-meets-new’ which makes the home so captivating, and an elegant standalone bathtub provides an extra unique touch. Imagine soaking in the bath in the comfort of your bedroom, looking out of the opposite window as dusk falls, before heading back downstairs and out onto the terrace for a glass of wine or an alfresco barbecue as evening turns to night.

You’ll find everything you could need during your stay in the delightful village of Saint Coulomb, just 2.5 kilometres from the property, whilst the iconic seaside town of Saint Malo with its historical walled centre and tidal fortress is but 10 kilometres away.

Courtyard

Carantec is a lovely part of France, and staying in this home makes it all the more lovely. This charming home can be found just a one-minute walk from Plage de la Grève Blanche, where you can stroll along the shore skimming stones and paddling in the shallows. 

When you return home from the beach, with the salt sea air in your hair, you might sit out in the garden to enjoy the last of the day’s sunshine. The courtyard is best early in the morning, when you can revel in the peace and quiet of this home. We love the terrace in the evenings – fire up the barbecue to grill locally caught fresh fish and pop open a bottle of wine. We could merrily while away hours in this way, spending time with loved ones and feeling the stresses of everyday life drift away on the sea breeze. 

Inside, you’ll find a tranquil haven. Neutral hues blend with cosy, soft furnishings and natural wood shades. The living and dining space is utterly serene, the perfect place to unwind. If the weather turns chilly, gather around the stone fireplace to play cards, or curl up with a good book from the library upstairs. 

This is a quiet, residential area, but it takes only fifteen minutes to walk into the village. Shop in the local stores and perhaps pop into a cafe for a slice of cake and a coffee. Walkers will love exploring Île de Callot at low tide. However you spend your time here in Carantec, you’ll be thrilled to have such a delightful home-from-home. 


Sea Salt & Serenity

Parking On Street

A sharp contrast to the ancient city of Vannes, this modern apartment offers all of the home comforts needed for a desirable stay for two along the Gulf of Morbihan. Set in a traditional stone building in La Madeleine, you're surrounded by cosy cafés, bakeries, mini-markets and restaurants, while the narrow cobbled streets of Old Vannes are a ten-minute walk from your doorstep. 

From ornamental marble fireplaces and velvet armchairs to abundant natural light and vibrant pops of colour, every decorative detail has been lovingly considered to create a calm and comfortable pad for your return each day. So whether you're enjoying a cuppa' tea in the living room or having a French breakfast at the window-side dining table, it's easy to settle in and feel right at home. 

When it's time to head out, you're a short ten-minute stroll from the Garden of the Ramparts, while Port de Vannes and Porte Saint-Vincent are no more than fifteen minutes away on foot. It's a commune that's rich in history and culture, so there's always something to see and do here.

Lemon Madeleine

Sitting just outside the historic centre of Vannes with the beach less than a kilometre away, this home makes the perfect base for exploring the coast of Brittany. 

From exhilarating cycle rides (your thoughtful host has provided two bikes for you to use during your stay) to refreshing dips in the sea and sunset strolls along the shoreline, there’s everything you could need to experience the natural beauty of northwest France. And when you’re inspired to learn more about the region's rich history, make your way to the narrow cobbled streets and medieval gates of the town centre. You’ll find Cathédrale Saint-Pierre and the colourful half-timbered houses are just a short drive away. There are also lovely local restaurants and bars, as well as vibrant markets within easy reach – perfect for stocking up on fresh produce and French delicacies. And after a day full of fresh sea air, this home welcomes you to relax and enjoy its calm simplicity.

Open the doors from the living room and you’ll find the garden welcoming you to savour refreshing drinks and nourishing meals around the table. And when the weather draws you back inside, the living room provides a laid-back setting for sharing stories, reading and cosy movie nights. 

Maison Clémente 

Buzzer / Wireless Intercom

Single-Level Home

Sitting within the winding network of historic streets in the Intra-Muros neighbourhood of Saint-Malo, you couldn't ask for a better spot in the Brittany seaside town. Everything from Eventail beach to the cathedral lies within walkable distance, while there's even a rather peaceful view of the English Channel – or La Manche, depending on your disposition – out through the window. 

The apartment itself is humbly sized, sure, but we're impressed by the simple and contemporary design found behind the front door. White walls and smart wooden floors are a timeless combo, while the furnishings, lighting and artwork selection are subtle and unshowy – and all the more chic for it. It's the sort of space that's sure to give you a bit of inspo for when you're next doing up your home address.

As mentioned, you don't have to venture far to find some of Saint-Malo's big sights, but once you've exhausted the small town – which might take longer than you think – you can catch a ferry over to Dinard on the other side of La Rance for more beaches and historic architecture.
