Right at the water's edge

Private beach access at the end of the garden

The house sits directly on the waterfront, with a door at the end of the garden opening straight onto the beach. Two of the six bedrooms have superb sea views, and one opens onto a balcony terrace with a panorama over Île de Groix, the Lorient roadstead and Larmor-Plage.

In the evening, the sun sets over the water, framed by the garden door — a sight to enjoy from the big dining table as much as from the living room.

The peninsula

Gâvres, a peninsula to explore

The house is a 2-minute walk from the Spar for everyday shopping. The whole peninsula is easy to explore on foot or by bike. Gâvres is known for its three coastlines: the long sandy beach facing the ocean, the sheltered "Petite Mer" where you can go shellfish-picking at low tide, and the view of Île de Groix from the Goërem cove. The peninsula is part of Brittany's largest dune system, the Gâvres–Quiberon site, labelled a "Grand Site de France".

It's also one of the most popular wing foil and kite foil spots in southern Brittany. Worth a visit: Ban-Gâvres harbour and its picturesque lanes, the Saint-Gildas fountain (17th century), and the Goërem tumulus. To relax: Le Comptoir Gavrais (bookshop-café), the Men Gwen crêperie, Le Brise-Lames, Les Bons Vivants, La Taverne, or Maison Glaz.
