Manoir de Lezuel is an English owned 15th century Breton Manor house located in the historic and beautiful Tregor area of Northern Brittany.
It is only 20 minutes drive from the stunning Rose Granite Coast and fishing harbours and just 5 minutes from the pretty estuary town of Pontrieux. The ports of St Malo and Roscoff are 90 & 45 minutes drive.
Local Attractions and Things To do:
Along the coast from Paimpol to St Brieuc - the Cote de Goelo
Drive south along the coast road from the Abbaye de Beauporte and you will come across a number of small towns/villages, where there are many smaller and quieter beaches, including the Plage Bonaparte which has historical interest from World War 2. Other smaller beaches are very quiet and secluded and some have more recent colour and notoriety as nudist beaches.
Plouha
Plouha is a tiny hamlet slightly off the coast itself. Its main feature is the church, Kermaria an Isquit which has medieval frescoes of the "Danse Macabre" (Dance of Death). The cliffs at Plouha are the highest in Brittany and dominate the Baie de St Brieuc. You can pick up the coastal walk, the GR34 here. (See activities)
St Quay Portrieux
This is a great place for a day on the beach but with ice-creams, kids clubs and lots of activities. Two of the five beaches (Casino and Comtesse) have lifeguards in the summer, there are seawater pools, beach clubs and an activity centre for teens (July and August), offering various sporting activities.
Fishing trips and an excursion on a working fishing boat are also available.
There are plenty of restaurants, pizzerias, takeaways and creperies to suit all tastes
Binic
Binic is a narrow port with 3 beaches - two of which are supervised in July and August. A wide range of water sports are available at Binic. There are some great coastal walks (using the old Customs Officer's (and smugglers!) paths. St Brieuc
St Brieuc is the industrial centre of the north, so not the most picturesque of places!
Alongside the N12 (on the St Malo side) there is a huge retail park with a bewilderingly big Carrefour and a host of clothes/shoe and other discount warehouses.
Along The Coast from Paimpol To Tregastel
Travelling west along the coastal route takes you along the Cote de Granit Rose (the Pink Granite Coast)
Treguier
Treguier is one of the few hill towns in Brittany. The centre ville features the Cathedrale de St Tugdal where the tomb of St Yves lay. St Yves was the patron saint of lawyers - because he was renowned for his incorruptibility!
Perros Guirec & Ploumanac'h
Perros Guirec is a very popular seaside resort with a pleasant harbour and safe sandy beaches.
The area is reputed to have the best stretch of the Pink Granite Coast and is particularly spectacular when the sun is setting. There are plenty of coastal walks in the area. A small ferry operates from here to Les Sept Iles throughout the year.
Tregastel
Continuing west along the coast is Tregastel. It has a lovely beach but not recommended for swimming due to strong currents. You can find an aquarium on the seafront and also a leisure centre complex for swimming.
La Presqu'ile Sauvage
From Paimpol, head towards Lezardrieux and then to Larmor Pleuban.
A huge sand spit called the Sillon de Talben sticks out into turquoise waters. Like the Ile de Brehat, the waters here are touched by the Gulf Stream, the warm water that has made its way across the Atlantic from the Caribbean.
Towards Brest (Finistere)
The N12 continues west towards Brest. The Finistere coast is wilder and there are less family beaches, but it can be stunning.
Brest
Brest is not a pretty city but well worth a visit. Brest was repeatedly bombed by the Allies in WW2 to prevent Germany from using it as a strategic submarine base. As a result, the architecture is now very modern, bleak and ugly. However, there is a great deal of naval history here and this is one of the biggest French Navy dockyards. If you take your passport (and you are an EU national), you can take a trip around a working submarine.
The 15th century castle on the headland gives good views over the ocean, city and naval docks. It also houses a maritime museum which is interesting and a good option for a rainy day.
The biggest attraction is Oceanopolis - a huge aquarium. This is a good trip out whether rain or shine.
Morlaix
The old town is still, in parts, medieval. There is a huge viaduct, made out of the local pink granite. Morlaix has many royal connections.
Mary, Queen of Scots passed through Morlaix in the 16th century and the Duchess of Brittany (who was then Queen of all France) visited Morlaix in 1508. She is reputed to have stayed at the Maison de la Reine Anne - which is one of the town's most beautiful houses.
Lannion
The Bay of Lannion will probably impress you more than the town itself. One enormous beach stretches from St Michel en Greve to Locquirec, at low tide you can walk hundreds of metres out onto the sands.
The town itself is quite pretty with many half timbered houses. It is worth climbing the 142 steps leading to the Eglise de Brelevenez - the views from the bell tower terrace are superb.
Towards St Malo and beyond
Here are some of our suggestions for places to visit in a day if you follow your nose to St Malo and even further a field to Mont St Michel. Some trips may involve a fair bit of time in the car, so may not be suitable for those with young children.
Le Val Andre
A huge sandy beach with a promenade makes this town feel a bit Victorian. There are no shops on the front but one street back from the prom is a bustling shopping area in the summer months.
Erquy
A lovely crescent shaped beach which is exposed all the way beyond the harbour entrance at low tide. The town's speciality is scallops and one restaurant serves a five course meal that consists entirely of scallops!
Cap Frehel
Cap Frehel is heath land with imposing cliffs (falaises). On a clear day the views extend as far as Jersey and the Ile de Brehat.
Further east is the Forte La Latte, used regularly as a film set.
Dinard and Dinan
Dinard is on the coast but at the mouth of the River Rance. There is a statue of Alfred Hitchcock at the main entrance to the beach and Pablo Picasso holidayed here often and painted both "deux femmes courants sur la plage" and "baignesses sur la plage" during his vacances.
Dinan is a picture perfect walled medieval town. A great way to see the town is to take a boat trip on the River Rance from Dinard where you can see the castle to its best effect.
St Malo
The most visited place in Brittany!
Much of St Malo is enclosed inside the Citadel walls (intra muros).
The town is very busy in summer but you can opt to walk along the ramparts away from the hustle and bustle.
There are 2 aquaria in St Malo - the grand aquarium, not surprisingly is the best.
St Malo is best explored on foot but be prepared for a long day!
Cancale
This town is renowned for its oysters and seafood and is generally very busy in summer. On a sunny Sunday, it feels like the whole of nearby St Malo has arrived here for Sunday lunch!
Even if you don't care for seafood, it is worth a trip to see the oyster beds, the market stalls with oysters straight from the sea.
There is a museum explaining the town's pre-occupation with oysters - given that Cancale oysters were found in the camps of Julius Caesar, taken every day to Versailles for Louis the Fourteenth and went with Napoleon to Moscow - they have a good reason to be proud.
Mont St Michel
Whilst this is actually in Normandy, Mont St Michel is a good 2 hour drive away, but for many children - this is one of the places that epitomise France.
Parents beware - the Grande Rue contains a jumble of souvenir shops - This "industry" helps to maintain the age old tradition of separating "pilgrims" from their money!!
The abbey is spectacular though and overall, worth a day out.
