If you’re looking for a peaceful village that’s perfectly located to explore the picturesque countryside and towns around Brittan in north-west France, Clohars-Carnoet could be the place for you. Carnoet itself is a lovely little village with a handful of shops and restaurants, but it’s the surroundings that truly make this a wonderful place to stay. Not only is there plenty of countryside to walk, cycle and drive through, there are some enchanting places to visit nearby. For everything you could want for your stay, the town of Carhaix, just 4km away is bursting with shops, restaurants and cafes, and is home to the Vieilles Charrues Festival – the biggest music festival in France. Attracting huge names, more than 200,000 festival goers descend there every July. Then there’s the enchanting town of Huelgoat with its large lake, forest and mossy boulders that have captured the imagination of locals and visitors for many years. Slightly further afield you’ll find the stunning medieval town of Quimper and walled city of Concarneau. Carnoet really is a great place to explore this lovely region.
