Accomodation in Brittany Links
I need a holiday too! Wheelchair accessible holidays in France. Enabling the disabled traveller to holiday in France in style and comfort.
This is Carl and Jacqui Alban's site which details their Old Cotton Mill, which they transformed during 2006 into six luxury apartments, which are all accessible for a disabled traveller. This is a new concept in accessible wheelchair holidays for disabled people. The whole ethos of their business seems to revolve around giving disabled people the choice and control over their holiday.
Based on the banks of the River Jaudy in La Roche Derrien, the north coast of Brittany in France they offer the comfort of modern living in a rural traditional setting, yet they are only ten minutes away from the beaches, several towns and all the other attractions that you would expect on a holiday.
La Maison Claire "La Maison Claire", is a light airy and newly renovated B&B, Chambres d' Hotes, guest house. Situated in the tiny friendly village of Les Fougerets, Brittany, (Bretagne), Morbihan. Our lovely house with ample car parking is tucked away at the bottom of a hamlet surrounded by farming countryside.
Must see attractions when you visit include, the beautiful Rochefort-en-Terre with attractive shops to browse, varied restaurants to eat your way through, and of course, the stunning Chateau. Find time to visit La Gacilly, also La Roche-Bernard & the beautiful Damgan beach, Vannes and the yacht packed marina, Redon and the scenic lake view at St Martin.
