Land of country folk, renowned for the quality
and originality of its rural heritage, land of seafarers, including one-third of the French coastline,
Brittany Is also a region with strong urban traditions, a region rich in Cités d’Art.
St
Nicolas des
Eaux is a pretty village tucked along the banks of the river'Le Blavet'
Saint Nicolas invites you to step outside of time
beside a river full of fish that snakes its way through spaces of magic and
legend. On the walker’s path, if you are lucky you will see herons and
kingfishers near the water.St Nicolas is well known to anglers who willingly
cohabit with walkers along the towpath and those who rent pedalos or canoes
from 'La Base Nautique'(an introduction or advanced courses to white water or calm
water canoeing)
The karting center is 4kms only from the gites.
At Rimaison (8 minutes drive away) you will
discover an undulating golf course, which apart from its countryside, offers
panoramic views of the Blavet Valley.
There are two restaurants where a variety of
tempting Breton cuisine is available and a creperie. Why not stop and taste a
traditionally made crepe...
5 minutes drive brings you to the market town of
Plumeliau where you can find supermarkets, banks, post office, and petrol station
service...
(Bread at St Nicolas every day)

their work and let them converse with the rich and exceptionally diverse
religious patrimony of the region, Artists of great renown along with yet to
be discovered artists, 'inhabit' the chapels mostly dating from the XVth and
XVIth century and situated within a few kilometres of each other. An
invitation to discover contemporary artistic works and to discover our
patrimony.

ville' includes a medieval town of narrow winding streets lined with timbered

each other.
