Manoir to help you plan your activities.

tow path of the Nantes/ Brest canal or from Carhaix to Loudeac passing by Lac de Guerlédan you can now cycle along

Geocaching:
We've become recent converts to the pastime of Geocaching. It's a brilliant way to get to find some really
lovely spots that you wouldn't normally see and a side of France you wouldn't know existed. Geocaching is basically
hi-tech treasure hunting for the modern age using a hand-held global positioning system (GPS) to track down hidden objects.
It’s great fun for young and old alike and its popularity is growing in leaps and bounds right across the globe. If
you would like to try this activity during your holiday we have a hand held GPS unit available for your use during your stay
along with an explanatory book. For more details, and to learn how to take your enjoyment of Geocaching to the next level,
