Léhon, one of France’s prettiest villages, is just a short walk along the river to Dinan – probably the most attractive town in Brittany.

   This very attractive stone cottage is in a perfect location by the hump backed bridge which crosses the river Rance. Just 20 minutes walk along the towpath to Dinan port.

Accommodation

The cottage has a beamed living room with large open fireplace & door to garden. It is spacious and attractively furnished and decorated. The cottage has French TV reception only but there is a DVD player so be sure to bring your favourite DVDs with you.

The separate, fully equipped kitchen, has electric oven, 4 ring gas hob, microwave oven, dishwasher and huge fridge/freezer

Stairs lead from the living room to the first floor where there is a double bedded room, a twin bedded room, a bathroom with over bath shower and a separate WC

There is a second staircase leading to the top floor where there is a pretty double bedded room with sloping ceilings and an en-suite shower room/WC. The second bedroom has twin beds making this floor ideal for a couple with one or two children

All bed linen and personal towels are provided but please bring your own beach towels. Cots and high chairs are available for up to two babies

The cottage has gas central heating, making it an ideal holiday choice at any time of year.

There is a private enclosed garden, mainly laid to grass, edged with shrubs and flowers. To the left of the garden are two small outbuildings. The one nearest the cottage houses the washing machine and the second one contains the garden table and chairs, bicycles and barbecue.


The village

Léhon is almost too pretty to be true. The single street, leads from a romantic ruined castle atop a hill down to a little hump backed bridge over the river, passing a superb abbey church on the way. The street is pedestrianised and the stone cottages which line it are bedecked with flowers throughout the summer. The cottage is close to the bridge. Three doors further up is a small restaurant. Further up the cobbled street, past the abbey church and cloisters, is the heated open air swimming pool and children’s pool. Just past these, at the top of the village, there are indoor tennis courts. Also a bar/tabac and a baker with excellent baguettes, croissants and patisserie. A few minutes along the road towards Dinan is a butcher (who also has a few basic groceries). All within a few minutes stroll. For serious shopping the Leclerc hypermarket is a 5 minute drive.

The walk along the river into Dinan port is about 25 minutes though it will possibly take longer as there are always ducks and moorhens to distract you and maybe even a kingfisher if you are very lucky.

Being a local beauty spot, Léhon naturally attracts visitors at weekends. The magnificent abbey church is a popular and photogenic choice for spring and summer weddings and it is not unusual to see a bride being photographed in the village or beside the river. Sunday mass is at 10h30.

Dinan is a captivating town. The old centre is small enough to explore on foot but with plenty to provide interest for a stay of one or two weeks or more. Though it may look like a film set, Dinan is not just a tourist attraction. It is a vibrant town where people live and work throughout the year. The market is held on Thursday morning and is a great opportunity to sample local produce. During the summer there are many small events and attractions and every two years the town stages its well known Fête des Remparts, one of the biggest medieval festivals in Europe, when Dinan returns to the Middle Ages for a weekend of jousting, battles etc. Great fun for all the family.

The cottage comfortably sleeps 8 plus 2 babies but there is seating for six persons only in the living room, making the cottage suitable for up to six adults. There is dining furniture for 8 people & 2 highchairs. We regret that a maximum of two babies & two children under 12 years is accepted.

Since the top floor can easily be shut off, the cottage is also available for parties of 4, in which case a reduction is available (mid and low season only). Please ask for details.

The cottage is looked after by a local manager who is just a telephone call away if help or advice is needed.
