Built over 300 years ago "The Old Salt House" in Port Launay in the
region of Finistère, Brittany is nestled on the banks of the river
L'Aulne with outstanding and uninterrupted views over the
countryside.
The Nantes-Brest Canal runs in front of the property, providing
opportunities for cycling, walking, fishing and sailing.
Restaurants, bakery and bars are 3 minutes walk. Situated close to
picturesque Châteaulin (hypermarket, bars/restaurants etc), National
Parc Armorique and the many beautiful beaches on the bay of
Douarnenez.
We had no hesitation in buying in France but we decided we wanted
something with character and a good enough location to be able to
get to Brest Airport which is only 45 minutes away or the ferry
which is an hour away, and finding the Old Salt House in Port Launay
was something we fell upon without even knowing it was for sale and
the moment we walked in we knew this "was the one" and even from an
intial viewing we did not want to leave.
Sympathetically restored 2 years ago (mostly correcting mistakes of
previous ownership we gather) by British craftspeople it oozes charm
and character and has so many nooks and crannies that every day
gives a new insight into the beauty of the house.
It has style and grace that flows from the front door to the top of
the house. It is like an adventure walking around and it makes you
smile each time you enter a room!
To wake up in the morning looking straight out to the waters that
glisten and shadow the surrounding houses is like waking up in a
fairytale story. Sometimes you just do not want to get out of
bed!!...
Having the Boulangerie next door is lethal for us and all that come
to stay but its like a magnet drawing you in with the beautiful
cakes and pastries and homemade breads...there is one strict rule in
our home and that is "NO DIETING"
The local supermarkets are well stocked with fresh produce and the
fish is caught locally and the meats are so fresh that you are
spoilt for choice but one thing we do miss is Bovril and Heinz
sauce!!!.......as much as we love France and the people and its
surroundings I'm afraid some things I would go back for so we now buy
in the case load and bring it back from the UK!!.
So what are you waiting for??.......come and join us for the most
magical experience of your life whether its just for a weekend break
or Honeymoon or Property searches or even a treat for a family
member then we can assure you of a true warm welcome that you just
will not want to leave!!
