MiKa-GaLe - Peaceful 3 Bedroom Longere with Private Garden in Brittany

Welcome to MiKa-GaLe, a charming 3-bedroom longere located in the tranquil village of Ploerdut in the Morbihan region of Brittany. Set on 1.75 hectares of private land, this comfortable gite is the perfect retreat for up to 6 people, with the possibility of accommodating larger groups upon request.

Location:
Nestled in a serene rural setting, MiKa-GaLe is surrounded by picturesque rolling hills and quiet wooded valleys, carved out by the Ellé, Scorff, and Aër rivers. The surrounding countryside offers an extensive network of footpaths, ideal for walking, running, cycling, bird-watching, photography, drawing, and painting. Explore the area's historic medieval villages, churches, chapels, and monuments that seem frozen in time. Within walking distance of the house, the village of Ploërdut boasts its own boulangerie, creperie, bars, eatery, and a self-service shop. Additionally, there are numerous fascinating attractions within a short drive, including the mysterious Chapelle St. Barbe, Le Faouet market hall, Les Rochers Du Diable for white water kayaking, and the beautiful Vallee-du-Scorff for picnics. Don't miss the opportunity to visit local street markets like Hennebont, Rostrenen, and Vannes.

The nearest town, Guemene Sur Scorff, is just 10 minutes away and offers a historic center with a weekly market, bars, restaurants, banks, a post office, cinema, traditional shops, and supermarkets. The town sits on the scenic river Scorff, close to the ancient Fôret de Quenecan. Guémené-sur-Scorff holds a special place in history as the former seat of the Dukes of Rohan, and its ancient buildings and Brittany's oldest tavern, Les Trois Marchands, are worth exploring. Pontivy, a larger historic city, is just a 20-minute drive away and sits on the Nantes-Brest Canal. The renovated towpaths of the canal offer beautiful walking and cycling routes. Nearby cities/towns of interest include Vannes, Josselin, Pont-Aven, Concarneau, Quimper, and Carnac. For beach lovers, the stunning lake resorts of Priziac, Langoelan, and Lac Guerledan provide safe swimming, water sports, and sandy shores. The rugged coastline of Southern Morbihan with its sandy beaches is also easily accessible within a 40-minute drive. Throughout your stay, indulge in the gastronomic delights of Brittany, from fresh produce to a delicious selection of breads, biscuits, cheeses, and seafood. Don't forget to try the traditional Breton crepes and cider!
