Further Details for the chateau / country house in Brittany, France

Accent on Painting: Our part of southern Brittany has become a haven for many international artists, no doubt attracted by the countryside and unspoiled River Vilaine which flows close to the Manoir. To coincide with the opening of our Art Gallery we will be hosting country house weekends, during which guests can receive first class instruction and mentoring from, amongst others, Adrian Whittlsea - formerly Senior Art Master at Downside School who now lives and paints locally. We will be delighted to send you further details of the programmes available, as well as dates. Partners who do not wish to paint can make use of all the other activities that we offer. Accent on Cuisine: Here we concentrate on local dishes; guests will enjoy an early morning trip to the local market to purchase vegetables, fish and cheeses, and will produce, together with Chef, a ‘Gala Dinner’. Our usual wine-tasting will be extended to include lectures on the nuances of French wines.

Accent on Gardening: The Manoir is surrounded by ‘Le Jardin Anglais’, one of the finest privately owned gardens in France. With some 400 David Austin roses, as well as plants from all over the world, the gardens are a haven of peace and beauty. Our Accent on Gardening house parties will include tours of the gardens highlighting plants and their maintenance, talks on rose growing and pruning, as well as tours of other local gardens. Your hosts will include Eric Bellec - head gardener - and, depending on availability, Alan Mason - the television gardener who initially built the gardens 18 years ago. All delegates will receive a David Austin rose of their choice, as well as cuttings from the gardens.

Accent on Golf: We are fortunate that we have some great golf courses within striking distance. Our particular favourites are La Bretesche, a parkland course that meanders around a stunning Chateau, and La Baule, one of the finest seaside courses in Europe. We organize at least two rounds, together with prizes and transportation, if required. Again, those partners who do not play can relax in the spa, gardens, or enjoy the other activities available.

Additional cleaners are available at 15 euros an hour.
