Coat Aillis
is situated in the most beautiful and tranquil coast of Brittany the
Côtes-d'Armor. Our complex consists of five well featured traditional stone
buildings which have been tastefully renovated into very comfortable gites
sleeping from four to 14 people. The English and Dutch owners
Simon and Paulien Pocock live on site with their four children.

We
are located just one kilometre from sandy beaches of Saint Michel en Gréve
and St Efflam (a 20 minute walk through lanes and woods) and just 15
minutes from beautiful beaches of Tréburden, Trégastel, Locquirec and
Perros-Guirec. For those who would prefer wearing nothing, there is a
naturist beach called Plage de Beg-Leguer near Tréburden. Coat Aillis is
the ideal location for family holidays, the full French experience without
hours of driving from the ferry ports. Ideally situated for sight seeing the
Pink Granite Coast we are only 35 minutes from the port of Roscoff and two
hours from St. Malo.

The pink
Granite Coast
|
|
|
Brittany
is the prow of France, jutting into the Atlantic Ocean it has some of the
best scenery around. The pink granite coastline offers an infinite variety
of landscape - rocky headlands, tall cliffs, secluded coves, fine sheltered
harbors, countless islands and wide sandy beaches. Resort towns with
stately granite villas alternate with charming fishing villages of modest
whitewashed houses. Tremendous tides recede hundreds of yards, laying bare
broad beaches, oyster beds and immense mud flats.
For people interested in out of season
holidays the coastline is magnificent to walk we have also five different
walks from the gites ranging from an easy half hour to a two hour hike
through beautiful countryside and woods. The local beach at St Efflam has an
excellent water sports centre where you can hire dinghies, sand yachts or
try your hand at wind surfing. Tennis and horse riding are within 5 minutes
drive. For the real French flavour we recommend Lannion market which is
every Thursday morning and Plestin market which is every Sunday morning.

There
is no shortage of superb restaurants in the Côtes-d'Armor .
Meals here will highlight the many local delicacies and abundance of
fresh seafood, shellfish above all - lobster, langostines, mussels,
oysters, clams and scallops. Local cheeses, artichokes, early potatoes,
lamb and crepes have also helped make Breton cuisine famous. The favorite
local beverages come from the orchards rather than vineyards. Cider is
produced everywhere, along with its pear equivalent and the well known
Norman Calvados (a potent apple brandy). Of particular note (and value) are
restaurants in Locquirec (5 mins), Ploumanac'h (nr Perros-Guirec - 20 mins
away) and or and lunch time eating at the "Chateigner" restaurant
in nearby Plouégat-Guerrand (10 mins away) where a five course meal costs
just £6 per person, probably the best value meal anywhere!
