Brittany holiday cottage with private heated pool

Woke up this morning to a bright sunny day at the Brittany holiday cottage with private heated pool to see fisherman arrive at the river Tarun for the start of the trout season.

The river is located just 100 meters from La Forge and La Veille Maison and for those wishing to fish can purchase a licence within the market town of Baud just 3 miles from the holiday cottages.

Just 20 minutes away from La Forge and La Veille Maison is Lanester which is just outside of Lorient and last night we tried a new Chinese restaurant Le Palace D'Asie.

At just 16.50 euro's per head it's great value for money and the décor, atmosphere and food were great, the main thing that stood out for me was that every table had its own grill to allow you to cook your own food at the table with a large variety of raw meats, vegetables and sea food or to take those ingredients to the wok chef to cook them for you with a choice of 8 different sauces. 

In addition to all the raw ingredients there is a buffet of cooked dishes to choose from in addition to a dessert    table.

I am always around to give advice to guest staying at the Brittany holiday cottages of some great places to visit or places to visit. For a video of the restaurant click here.

Sea fishing at the estuary of Guidel

Just 35 minutes from the Brittany holiday cottages La Forge and La veille Maison is the estuary of Guidel, where on the 12th August we popped down with our rubber dingy for our first attempt of fishing from the dingy.

The day before we bought a small anchor and a length of heavy chain to attach to 20 meters of rope and we arrived at low tide to see how the bottom looked.

We rowed out to where we were going to fish and dropped the anchor, fishing from low tide until an hour after high tide.

As we were positioned in the middle of the estuary we were able to use really light tackle rather than the beach casters used when fishing from the shore. We had 2 6 foot light spinning rods and used the same set up as we do with the beach casters, with a running ledger of only 1 1/2 oz and a 3 foot trace tied to a number 1 Aberdeen long shank hook.

Using rag worm as bait we caught 7 Bass in total mostly very small but the final fish was just over 2lbs in weight, for a video of the fishing trip click here.

For guest staying at either holiday cottage fishing tackle is available.

Brittany holiday cottage with pool

Today my girl friend and I decided to take a trip too Vannes which is just 25 miles from the Brittany holiday cottage with pool.

On a Saturday its market day and we enjoyed just walking,taking in the atmosphere of the market and stopping for a nice cup of coffee and pastry.

It was Naomi's first visit to see Vannes and she enjoyed the day in particular the 14th century cathedral and of course the coffee and pastry.

For those guest staying in La Forge or La Veille maison, Vannes is always a highly recommended place to visit.
