View down the road from our holiday gite in brittany

The back garden has lots of space for playing games. The lawn drops down towards a meadow, bordered by a stream. One of the local waymarked walks goes past the other side of the stream.

La Retraite is in a peaceful village setting. There is an ample garden which backs onto a peaceful meadow at the bottom of which there is a stream. There is a garden table and chairs, a barbecue and a summer house.

On clear, moonless nights, the views of the stars are glorious. On the very best evenings you will enjoy superb views of the milky way

During the long summer days, the garden is teeming with birdlife. Chiff-Chaffs flit around the bushes, swallows swoop over the garden and buzzards soar over the trees and fields behind the house. The birds don't give up at night either. If you don't see one of the resident owls, you will certainly hear them!
