    Spotlessly clean, spacious, a modern kitchen. The shower is powerful and as hot as you should require. The location is rural enough to be peaceful and calm, but only half a mile or so away from the village convenience store and bakery. ...

Sandie & Gary Wilkinson We bought here in France to enjoy the rural way of life that we recall from our childhood. The Mayenne area being agricultural is like moving back in time when there was no rush to life. We live in a property dating from 1700s adjacent to the rental cottage and bread oven, which we fell in love with in 2003. We have spent our time here renovating and purchased the rental cottage in 2018. Our hobbies include gardening, furniture restoration, being good hosts to our guests and generally keeping busy. We are on hand if you have questions but respect your privacy also.
The local villages of Larchamp & Montaudin are in an ideal position from which to explore Brittany, Normandy and the Pays de la Loire. We are 5 minuites away from both villages that offer bakers, bar, restaurant, hairdresser, butcher, chemist. The town of Ernee has all amenities with modern supermarkets. More details of recommendations are in the welcome booklet in the cottage. Local walks with tourist office guided maps are provided. We have three renowned floral gardens close by, Jardin de la Pellerine, Parc Floral de Renaudies and Parc Botanique de Haute Bretagne. Places to explore Under 30 minuites • Fougères - magnificent castle, one of the finest fortresses in Europe, with a lovely medieval district and a lively Saturday-morning market. • Pontmain - Basilica Notre Dame with arboretum and river walks. • Gorron - Parc de Loisirs, Tree walking, Swin Golf, Paintballing, Kayaking • St Hilaire du Harcouët - Wednesday market with livestock market. Under 1 hour • Jublains, Roman archaelogical site full of history, Amphitheatre, Temple and Baths. • Vitré, medieval town with some fine architecture and castle. • Mont Saint-Michel
