Situated on the outskirts of the small town of Ernee, we are 5 minutes from the town centre in one direction, while a couple of minutes walk in the other takes you into the French countryside. We are also just 1km from the international motocross track.
We are ideally situated for both Brittany and Normandy, or exploration of the beautiful Loire valley (famous for its chateaux).
Formerly a barn and hayloft, we have completely renovated the top floor of the two storey building into a comfortable apartment capable of sleeping 4 people.
From the unique entrance, to the shutters which were previously barn doors, to the exposed beams, we have retained many of the features and incorporated them into a light and spacious apartment comprising a living room (with sofa bed), dining room, kitchen, bathroom and double bedroom.
Gas and electricity are included in the price, as are towels, tea-towels and bedlinen. A travel cot and highchair are also available if required. Please feel free to join us in our small garden in the evenings (weather permitting), and also use our barbecue if you wish.
Around and About
Ernee is a typical historic French market town as yet undiscovered by the English tourists. Just over the border from Brittany, we are only about an hours drive from the beautiful beaches of the Emerald Coast, and also an ideal stopover point for travellers to the West coast or southern France.
Ernée has a choice of supermarkets for basic provisions, together with an abundance of patisseries, boulangeries and other small French traditional shops. The local market is held on a Tuesday morning. There are plenty of places to eat out in the town, all reasonably priced, and welcome families and children. Most can speak a little English so if your French isn't too good, no problem.
As with most French towns and villages, Ernée has its own lake. Fishing permits can be purchased from various shops and tabacs for a very low cost. In the town itself there is a heated swimming pool which is open to the public. There is also a park with various amusements, including a crazy golf course and BMX track, children's adventure course in the woods, as well as the usual climbing frames, swings, etc.
The local motocross track holds various events throughout the year, and there are also various places of historical and cultural interest such as the dolmens and menhirs of the region, local sculptures and fine examples of traditional French architecture. You can also visit local farms and sample the local ciders, dairy products and meats.
Further Afield
Mont-Saint-Michel (photo right): There are many things to see and to do; the main street with its shops, the museums, the walk around the ramparts with views out over the sands of the bay, as well as the spectacle of the sea rushing in to surround the Mont at each high tide.
La Foret de Villecartier: A miniature port has been fitted out with boats and pedaloes for hire. A 3km adventure course opened in July 2005 in the trees. There is also a quiet fishing lake just a short walk through the trees.
L'Ange Michel Leisure Park: With more than 30 attractions there is something for everyone including aquatics, adventure, history and culture, and even a snack bar.
There are also the usual museums, chateaux and even troglodyte caves for those keen to explore and discover the area.
