Under canvas in Brittany

Since 2013 we decided that for our Fixed-Centre Cycle Camping Holidays we'd go all old-fashioned, and so we have bought some 5m diameter bell-tents. These are huge and airy inside and there is the real feeling of camping under canvas. This comes with all equipment including the use of the campsite's canoes, and a wide range of routes - some described here - and of course your base is in the most perfect village of Gouarec. From 2017 we've added 3 other options. The first are five little classic caravans from the 60's and early 70's as an alternative at no extra cost making it the cheapest 'solid' accommodation you can find... The second is our new Bunkhouse converted for the lock-house at the entrance of the campsite, again at no extra cost. Lastly there are two shepherd's huts which are completely different...

The 'Fixed Centre' option keeps you at Gouarec for the week, a site right next to the canal, within 300m of a supermarkets, bakers, a new 25m swimming pool and several restaurants and bars. As for cycling, we provide around 20 different routes, and there's the canal towpath in both directions, a cyclepath to the nearest market town and a mass of deserted country lanes, so for beginners, people who can't face the idea of lightweight camping and families this is a perfect option at a much lower cost than hotels (and I think nicer;-). The other advantage is that you can use any of the equipment at the campsite for free - canoes, one of our big rowing boats etc. In fact if you want to drive out for the day then why not make it a real adventure and hire our 2CV?
