Yvias Yvias is a small, quiet and rural village set
amongst hills and valleys. The
Church of Saint Judoce, which overlooks the Lotissement, is about 75 yards away
from La Carniche, and is at the centre of the village. 2 minutes walk up
the lane from the house finds you at the Bar/Tabac Le Leff, where you can pre-order
(in French) your morning baguettes and croissants. The Mairie and post
office are also in the square just next to the church. The nearest boulangerie
and grocery store is in Plourivo, a 3 minute drive away.
Yvias is the perfect base for exploring this picturesque region of Brittany,
only 5 minutes from Paimpol, 10 minutes from beaches, and 25 minutes from
Armoripark - a water theme park.
Paimpol Paimpol has a rich maritime history, particularly of fishing off the
Newfoundland coast. Today Paimpol is a popular tourist resort, and
yachting and fishing harbour, with lots to see and do. There are boat
trips to take you to the beautiful nature reserve of the Ile de Brehat or into
the River Trieux, and a steam railway along the river estuary to Pontrieux.
Don't miss the many harbourside restaurants.
Just 5 minutes from the house is a large Centre Commercial, including hypermarchés,
restaurants, sports shops, and even a MacDonalds.
Surrounding Area The
pretty and historic towns of
Plouha and Pontrieux are just 15 mintues away, and there is
a traditional French market every day of the week within just a short drive.
The region has many tourist attractions, natural
beauty spots and sporting activities - see the links page
for more information.
The nearest coast is at Paimpol at 7 kilometres, but the better beaches are at
or near Ploua, 9 kilometres from Yvias. That's just 10 minutes drive to the nearest beaches and coastal activities, yet
surrounded by Breton countryside, making
La Carniche and Yvias the perfect place to make your base
to explore and enjoy. Guests have recommended the Palus Plage at
Plouha, which has restaurants, toilets, children's park and easy parking.
The Coast of Goelo (to the east) and the Pink Granite Coast (north and west) are
on your doorstep, with so much to explore and see and do.
