La Maison Blanche is an traditional French eighteenth century cottage located in a tiny hamlet just outside the village of Treal near Maletroit and Redon, southern Brittany. There are four other houses in this Brittany hamlet which is visited on some days by a bread van so you can buy your croissants and baguettes at your front door. The attractive property offers peace and quiet with views both to the front and rear of the house. Sleeps eight in four large bedrooms. There is also a cot & high chair in the house and another is available on request.

Its location makes it a perfect holiday spot for those wanting both the idyllic tranquillity of rural France together with the option of getting out and about and visiting the nearby towns and beaches. The nearest village is just three minutes drive (Reminiac) with its general store (including fresh baguettes and cakes), restaurant and bars. The nearest large town is mediaeval Malestroit, about five minutes away. Here you will find banks, supermarkets and restaurants in abundance. For more info see the Local Towns link on the Things to Do page.
