We always had the dream to own a vacation home in Bretagne. My daughter is an avid sailor and fell in love the first time she set sails in Doelans, the harbor down the forest path from our house. I, always loved the relaxed and beautiful views of South Bretany and I also fell in love with Doelans and Le pouldu. I was born in the Loire valley, and raised my family in the center of Paris where I still live and work, but now I have the luxury to rest in the calm and warm welcomes of our friends and neighbors in Kerviglouse. Kerviglouse is a very unusual hameau since 80% of the house are lived in all year aropund and mostly by young family with children, which makes this village so lively and enjoyable for our family.

Ariane and catherine Compagnone purchased this farmhouse in 2007

I bought this property in 2007 with my daughter and her husband who renovated this old fisherman home into the gorgeous and charming house it is today. My twin grandchildren were born in Lorient, and started their life in this home. Every child you will cross in the village, has been one of those little face that was knocking on the door to meet the new kids on the block. Every other year, when my daughter and her family visit for the entire summer, this house transforms into a giant windmill of children coming by.

It was the region, Doelans and the island of Groix that first made us look around this area. And, then it was the old stone house and the beautiful 'chemin creu' (pathway thru the forest) that made us fell in love. We loved the potential of this house, being a total fix or upper. In the end, we are over joyed and feel so extremely lucky to have ending up in this vibrant little hameau (village) where we have so many friends. The three generations of our family, not only enjoy the house, but also the neighbors and their farm animals and pets!
