Perfect holidays in Brittany. Set
in the quiet, unspoilt countryside of central Brittany close to the medieval
city of Josselin, Menhir Ty is the ideal location for an
escape to a more tranquil time. Just right for lazing about, walking, cycling,
fishing, golf; within 45 minutes drive of the sunny beaches of the southern
coast of Brittany; an hour from the rugged and beautiful coast of northern
Brittany; set close to the beautiful Forest of Lanouée, Menhir Ty is perfectly
situated for your holiday.
Indulge in the activity of your choice, visit numerous chateaux in the area or
just while away the time. For those so inclined, your hostess,
Joy Swindells
also offers art and painting classes for visitors.
Menhir Ty offers four apartments in a converted farm complex. One of
the ground-floor apartments is designed for wheelchair
accessibility.
Menhir Ty is just a few minutes
stroll from the village of Lanouée which has a small supermarket, boulangerie,
two bars and one restaurant. The historic medieval city of Josselin is just ten
minutes away by car. Josselin has two large supermarkets, several petrol
stations, many bars restaurants and a traditional weekly Saturday market as well
as one of the most magnificent chateaux in the whole of France.
 Menhir
Ty is on the edge of the beautiful Forest of Lanouée and within easy driving
distance of historic towns such as Malestroit, Rochefort en Terre and Vannes.
Alternatively, you can lose yourself in the ancient myths of the Forest of
Broceliande - search for King Arthur, Merlin the Magician or Queen Guinevere and
the Knights of the Round Table.
And when you've done all that,
you'll want to come back to Menhir Ty time and time again.

The Mysteries of
the Menhirs
(Click to Enlarge)
In the ancient
Celtic language of the Bretons, Menhir Ty means Large (or
'Mighty'') Stone. Thousands of these magnificent, mysterious
standing stones, individually, in small groups or in vast
alignments, can be found throughout Brittany. Their origin is
obscure but their scale is breathtaking. |
