Welcome to our web site!
The holiday rental gite in Brittany, La Vilaine Vue sleeps 4 people comfortably with all the amenities expected from
a holiday cottage. The cottage is situated in the southern corner of Ille et Vilaine at the top of the village of La
Louzais, so you can enjoy the view and tranquillity of this area. It has a south facing fenced garden.
The large patio is a real sun trap. There is a decking area with a covered gazebo. New shrubs have been planted and
there are the mature trees around the garden which will offer some shade in summer. There are spectacular panoramic
views of the surrounding countryside and the River Vilaine from the brow of the hill.
There are some interesting
walks over the hill and down to the river. The footpath and cycle path follow along by the side of the river, with some
rustic benches where you can rest and enjoy the view. There is also a road that runs in both directions beside the river with
plenty of parking spaces. It is ideal for picnics and for fishing.
Fed-up
with the constant noise of traffic and everyday hustle and bustle then this is the place for you to chill out. In a perfect
location the loudest sound is that of the birds in the nearby trees and the summer breeze as it rustles the leaves.
The peace and tranquility of this place, unfortunately, cannot be truly conveyed over the internet.
It has a relaxing feel and you will soon appreciate the soothing, calming affect of La Louzais and the river Vilaine
valley.
