Welcome to Les Chenes - La Roche Bernard, 56
Welcome to les Chenes (The Oaks). This popular 2 bedroomed (1 double, 1 twin) country home offers a peaceful and comfortable haven for you to return to after exploring the beautiful area surrounding La Roche Bernard and is perfectly placed for visiting the sandy beaches, fantastic coves and many inland attractions of South Brittany.
Nestling in rural France, between the market towns of Redon and La Roche Bernard, the well-equipped gite of les Chenes is on the edge of the historic village of Sainte Anne and is part of a traditional Breton farmhouse, with 2 foot thick granite stone walls under a slate roof.

Local Attractions
La Roche Bernard - Born from the sea. La Roche Bernard owes its charms to the river that shapes the landscape of the area – The Vilaine. La Roche Bernard has become a privileged place for meetings of gastronomy, tourism and history. Quality hallmarks such as "petite cite de caractiere", "Port bleu d'europe" and "route des Ducs de Bretagne" have been awarded to the city, reflecting its rich and attractive patrimony.
Maison de l'Abeille - In the centre of this quaint, thousand year old town stands a big old house overlooking the harbour. This is Maison de l’Abeille, a museum introducing visitors to the mysterious world of bees.
Discover the life of the bee, the beekeepers work and folk art relating to it from prehistoric times to the present day. See through hives, watch the combs being gathered and honey being extracted. Sample the honey, mead, gingerbread and sweets that are for sale. Discover over 100 products made from honey and its by-products: royal jelly, pollen, propolis etc.
Penestin - Penestin has 25 kilometres of coast, much of it sandy beaches such as the landmarked site of la Mine d'Or and its golden cliffs, many beaches of fine sand, wild creeks and the little fishing port of Trehiguier where Penestin mussels grow by their thousands. On load or on shoal, on tractors and flat boats, the musselbreeders mind the stakes and the crops, adapting to weather and tide.
Visit the exhibition "Of Mussels and Men" in the old lighthouse at the port of Trehiguier to see the astonishing life-cycle of the mussel and the skills of its breeders. It displays plankton life, tools and of course a few recipes.
