If you're looking for a charming maison in the French countryside, la Channais is it. It is a centuries-old structure with all the attendant charm, yet the living space has been meticulously modernized and is very comfortable. The owners are accommodating and undemanding. They obviously want their guests to feel at home. The property is very quiet and surrounded by "horse country." There are many beautiful walking trails, most leading down to the River Rance. La Channais is a very rural experience, yet shopping, local markets and everything required is nearby. (Do NOT miss the bakery in Plouer-sur-Rance.) The small town of Dinan, known as one of the loveliest old towns in all of France, is minutes away. Whether relaxing in the beautiful English garden of la Channais or exploring the Channel coast from a very convenient location, this is a wonderful place to be. Be careful not to bump your head on the range hood.
