General overview
A large house in a neighborhood full of life near the city center but very wooded and quiet. If you want to visit Brittany, a perfect location!
A big house in an area full of life, close from the heart of the city but green and quiet. If you want to visit Brittany, it's a perfect situation.
The space
Our house is a town house but which benefits from the calm of the neighborhood. The outdoor space is protected from view. The house is spacious (220 m2) and benefits from a double games room (books, board games, table football, ping pong table/bicycles - 2 for adults, one for small children, two for older children, scooters) for children and adults. The parents' bedroom is large and has a working fireplace. A rowing machine is also available as well as a set of balls and pilates equipment.
There is also a sofa bed for two in the games room, a sofa bed for two in the living room and we have two additional single mattresses as well as an extra cot (we like to receive our friends!)
In the garden there is a children's playhouse and a basketball hoop. The garden practically wraps around the house and therefore benefits from the sun at all hours. Overlooking the kitchen, there is a terrace with a large table and a plancha. There is also a wooded rest area with a hammock. There is also a wrought iron tea table.

Everywhere and Everything! We like quiet countryside places but also busy and full of life cities. What we enjoy the most: our family, friends but also discovering new things, creating new dreams.
We are a family of 5: Parents, around 40/ twin boys aged 9 and a small little girl (or princess...) born in october 2018.
