Activities close to our gîtes in Brittany
As well as their character and top-of-the-range standards, the Monts d'Arrée gîtes also shine for their location, ideal for exploring the Armorique National Regional Park and Finistère.
Fully rested, you'll be tempted to set off and discover the secrets of Brittany: the Bay of Morlaix to the north, the Crozon peninsula to the west, the Bigouden country to the south, the Huelgoat forest to the east... So many wild and picturesque landscapes to discover less than an hour's drive from Domaine de Linguinou.
Fishing at Lac du Drennec
Lac du Drennec is also a renowned venue for 1ʳᵉ category fishing and considered to be one of the largest trout reservoirs in France.
The northern cove of the lake is reserved for fly-fishing and no-kill fishing for fario trout, offering an experience that respects the natural environment.
As well as fario trout, which come from the natural stock of the surrounding streams, rainbow trout come from the fish farm at the foot of the dam.
For novice anglers, an instructor from the Finistère fishing association can accompany you on sessions by the lake, in a kayak or on the River Elorn.

You can enjoy them in one of the many gourmet and Michelin-starred restaurants in the region.
The north coast of Finistère
From Brest to the Pointe Saint-Mathieu, on the edge of the Iroise Sea, the coastline is divided into abers and capes, creating a wild landscape with a winding coastline.
The north of Finistère boasts a wonderful palette of colours, rough seas, turquoise beaches, picturesque villages and harbours that reveal the history of authentic Brittany and its fierce beauty.
Head for discreet Brittany, and the all-too-often forgotten city of Brest: the Océanopolis or the Capucins will move you.

On the Pink Granite Coast, between Léon and Trégor, Morlaix Bay offers a remarkable landscape dotted with islands and islets. The panoramas are breathtaking, combining nature and historical heritage.
A lookout over Morlaix Bay and a fortress facing the sea, the Château du Taureau is a must-see.
One-of-a-kind timber-framed houses, an island accessible on foot, a former prison open to the public, huge churches and 100% Breton cuisine... Morlaix Bay is sure to win you over!
Parish enclosures
Parish enclosures offer a religious and historical vision of Brittany. Typical of the region's villages, these monuments, built between the 15th and 17th centuries, are veritable architectural gems.

Lovers of stone will be enchanted by the masterpieces that rival each other in magnificence between Morlaix and Brest.
