Being able to do the things you want to do when on holiday is
important. If you just want to relax by the pool or want to persue your favourite sport you can. There are many places in the
area which cater for your needs, below are just some of the ideas, there is of course a comprehensive visitor pack in the
Manoir to help you plan your activities.
Cycling and Walking - The local area is ideal for bike riding with
many small quiet country lanes to explore. Cycle along the tow path of the Nantes/ Brest canal or from Carhaix to Loudeac
passing by Lac Guerlédan you can now cycle along the 111 kilometre long consolidated sand trail following the tracks of the
old railway line.If you want to leave the track there are 24 round trips which vary in length from 4 ½ to 16 ½ km.
Golf
- There are plenty of
golf courses for the keen golfer. Golf de Rimaison at Pontivy is a 9
hole par 70. It has a good club house with refreshments available. The
Ajoncs Dor is about 40 minutes drive away and is a 9 hole flat course,
also there is a beautiful course overlooking the sea at Val Andre.
Fishing - There are numerous fishing lakes close to our Manoir including those in St Gilles Vieux Marché, St Guen and Lac Guerledan.
Fishing permits for public waters can be obtained from local newsagents (tabac) or bars and a fishing licence covers
all local areas and cost around 10 euros per day / 30 euros for 2 weeks.
Equestrian
Activities
-
There are a number of ‘poney clubs’ in the area
where you can hire a hack by the hour, around 15 euros, or for the day at about 75 euros, or you could have lessons and learn
to ride. There is Guerlédan Riding school near the lake and there is a horse museum in nearby
Corlay.
