This 1920s detached stone built villa overlooks the Bay of Lannion, there being sea views from most windows. With its own lawn, ample paved parking area, and enclosed gardens, Bellevue lies alongside the coastal road between St. Michel and Locquirec. Just across the road there is another lawned garden leading onto the beach. On the ground, but elevated floor there is a good-sized kitchen, wc and a magnificent dining room with full sea views. Next to the dining room is a reasonably sized lounge, again with full sea views!

The first floor has 3 double bedrooms and a large bathroom with a bath and a separate shower cubicle, wc, and wash basin. The second floor has two single bedrooms. The kitchen is well equipped and the furniture is of a high standard with many period pieces. The decoration is tasteful and elegant and the house is very light.

On Your Doorstep

Just over the road are miles of sandy beaches and fine coastal walks. There is wind sailing available at the St.Efflam sailing school plus other sports facilities. Bikes can be hired in nearby Plestin les Greves and there is horse riding nearby. Just twenty paces away is a restaurant with a 'vue sur mer' and a larger hotel restaurant 5 mins walk from the house.

The nearest supermarket is at Plestin some 3/5 mins by car. Up the hill from St.Efflam and first turn right gets you onto the 'corniche' (coastal road) to Locquirec. Before getting to Locquirec look out for the Camping Hortensias (hydrangeas) and take the first right into the parking area. Below this are steps down to delightful sandy coves with the sea in sight most of the day. From these coves one catches the first sight of pretty Locquirec.

LOCQUIREC THE JEWEL OF FINISTERE'S RESORTS

Locquirec is a fabulous little port and seaside resort with a good choice of restaurants, cafes and summer entertainments. The latter includes: sailing regattas; Breton dancing and music evenings with bagpipes and trumpets! Most activities are in the open air around the harbour.

If you pass the church and the post office you should catch sight of the path that gives a short 20 min walking tour around the cliffs on the edge of the town. You will also see the lovely surfing beaches but beware of the rock stacks!

ST.MICHEL

Going north of St Efflam and skirting the Bay of Lannion will soon get you to St. Michel en Greves with lovely cliff walks.There are good restaurants at St. Michel. From the Bay road one could go to Lanvellec and Rosanbo Chateau - a memorable and completely restored chateau.

LOCQUEMEAU

This has a wilder aspect to it than the Pink Granite Coastal resorts with vast shingle beaches,and vertical jagged rocky foreshores! There is a sandy beach called Notigou Plage and a fine headland walk.


THE PINK GRANITE COAST

The Pink Granite Coast is a magnificent spectacle and starts near Lannion at Trebeurden and stretches around through Tregastel, Ploumanach and Perros Guirec

.All these resorts are worth visiting as they have amazing geology and a variety of man made attractions including: planetarium; sea aquarium,; space telescope and museum; golf courses.Ploumanach is the epicentre of the volcanic wonders and has a great selection of restaurants and menus from 12 euros. The Pink Granite Coast beaches are beautifully white and sandy and the sea is exceptionally blue. The smartest beach resort is at Trestraou Plage,Perros

An equally beautiful but quieter one is to be found at Trestignel, again within the Perros boundary. From Perros Guirec.There are boat trips to the Sept Iles nature reserve and even the Channel Islands! Lannion is worth a day visit especially to its Thursday all day market. It has brocantes near the Leguer Bridge and a medieval heart but also a collection of fine hypermarkets!

A 30 MINUTE JOURNEY

The list of must see sights are endless but should include medieval Treguier and the Route d'Ajoncs that leads around the magnificent Pointe du Chateau.

Also the Iles de Brehat are a fine day out and could also take in the ancient port of Paimpol. Pontrieux, its port and the staggering La Roche Jagu Chateau is another splendid day out.

BRETAGNE EN FETE!

Everywhere there are music festivals and colourful dancing scenes and processions of musicians plus full-scale concerts with a variety of European performers e.g. The Fetes des Hortensias at Perros Guirec in August. The Fete des Cocos is another festival and is held at Lannion.

Circular Walks

There is a folder of circular walks at the house with photocopied maps. These walks start from the house and offer great sea views and 3 of these 3hr walks are literally on your doorstep!
