General Overview

It's a vintage house from the 60s that we renovated. We reused a lot of elements that we already had as much as possible. We try to banish plastic. We like the decoration. We often stay there, even in winter, because Port-Louis is a lively village. So there is all the comfort for the whole year.

The Space

On the ground floor: kitchen, living room, veranda where we take our meals, toilet, bathroom (to rinse off when returning from the beach: shower), garage (too small for a car, but suitable for a motorbike). We have a courtyard with flowers, pallets to set up a comfortable lounge in summer) and the BBQ. On the first floor: 3 bedrooms and a bathroom, (shower), toilet and dressing room Under the roof: a large room with large poufs and reading corner.

Guest Access

2 floors, 2 staircases. 2 bicycles available. Beach toys, beach tent, etc...

Notes

Free parking on the street or parking on the 2 nearest places. July and August: night market in the street (noise). Waste sorting, including compost.

Neighbourhood

House very close to the city center while being quiet. Entertainment and festivals several times a year. On foot: museums of the Navy, the East India Company, ramparts, Grande Plage and small beaches, many restaurants, from the house: small hikes around the city or further if you want: Lorient harbor, Petite mer de Gâvres, Gâvres, etc ...

Getting to my home

Free expressways in Brittany. Possibility to come by train to Lorient, then boat-bus, arrival at the quay 10 minutes walk from the house. Good network of buses and boat-buses for the agglomeration of Lorient, of which Port-Louis is part. As there is everything you need on site, you can live without a car.

Denise

Denise and Marc (71 and 73 years old): we are retired and love to travel. We have carried out more than 100 exchanges since 2001, on another site that has evolved, and want to refocus on traditional exchanges. We are curious and we travel both in France and abroad. Outside of school holidays, we travel together and during school holidays with our grandchildren (8, 13 and 16 years old) and our daughter, who are therefore used to exchanges. We love hiking, cycling, museums, festivals, architecture, meeting people. We love to cook, read, play, craft... We are interested in birds, animals in general, and are members of the LPO (Bird Protection Line = BirdLife).
