The location of the house makes it the perfect holiday spot for those wanting both the idyllic tranquillity of rural France together with the option of getting out and about to visit the nearby towns, restaurants and sandy beaches. The nearest village is about 1km & has a general store (including fresh baguettes and cakes), restaurant and bars. The nearest town is mediaeval Malestroit, about seven minutes away. Here you will find banks, supermarkets and restaurants. For more info see the Local Towns link on the Things to Do page.

La Maison Jaune`s hamlet comprises of just five houses, and one farm, usually only three of which are occupied. The track (two photos at the bottom of this page) which leads to the house peters out into fields about 200 yards past the house. The locality is excellent for walking and cycling with dozens of lanes, paths and tracks running throughout the countryside (we're also told it’s a great spot for bird watchers (hawks, buzzards and eagles are all here)). We especially recommend a lunchtime stroll to the restaurant in Reminiac– about fifteen minutes walk down deserted country lanes. A marked ramblers path starts about 300m from the house and winds its way through the Breton countryside.

Ground floor
The ground floor is open plan with a terracotta tiled floor, designed around the huge Breton fireplace. The ceiling is supported by giant oak beams giving the room the feel of a traditional 17th century French farmhouse (which it is).

There is a fully built in kitchen -which is brand new as from December 08- with a full size fridge/ freezer, cooker, microwave, washing machine, dishwasher, toaster etc. A lounge/ dining area, with comfy settees, armchairs, table, stereo, flat/ widescreen screen TV, DVD player. UK TV is installed. This includes BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, ITV2, 3& 4, NEWS 24, CBBC, CBeebies, Men & Motors, Golf etc.

First floor
The first floor comprises of three rooms and hall. There is a main bedroom with double bed and matching bedroom furniture including a dressing table with hairdryer etc. A ceiling fan is mounted above the bed to help on the hot summer nights. Also on the first floor there`s a twin bedded room and a bathroom with full bath and shower. The original large beams that support the roof disappear through the ceilings.

The house is well decorated and hung with a selection of quality prints & original oil paintings. A cot and high chair are supplied.

The second bedroom.

Private, secluded off road private parking is to the side of the house. Private entrance and drive.

At the front of the house there is a climber growing over an arbour. The track which runs in front of the house is very, very quiet as it only leads to a field. The photos below show the track both ways from in front of the house.

Below is a shot of the track you walk up to the village of Reminiac and the restaurant and the shop/bar. . The restuarant is open every lunch time ans evening bar Monday.
