Description

A step towards your bucolic wishes:
Lights, water curves, fauna, flora, trees, culture, breaks, read ....
A tranquil, invigorating place for people who are calm and active, curious and nature-loving.

Swimming, lazing about, visiting, playing, chatting, learning, exchanging, gardening, experimenting with plant-based cuisine, lots of possibilities....

Surrounded by greenery, you can learn all about vegetable gardening (in squares) according to permaculture principles, as well as plant-based cooking classes (booking required).
An art of living that we'll be happy to share with you.

The swimming pool, heated with a bubble cover, reaches between 25 and 28° all summer long, and offers you all the sensations of swimming among the trees.

Wild, not wild, it's up to you: 2 cats, 1 dog, 2 hens, Indian racing ducks, lots of birds, fish, frogs, squirrels, deer, owls and rustling sounds.

The life of a unique peri-urban space that we're delighted to open up to you.
We aim for a certain level of autonomy, so we have a solar tracker and a charging point for your electric car.

The setting

Our eco-location allows you to settle into a bubble of tranquillity.
From dawn to dusk, we often benefit from beautiful light that sweeps through the trees, the ever-present water features and the interstices to be seized.
During the day, the sun invites you to take a dip in the pool or relax on the terrace, under a tree or by the pond.
(When the wind is south-southwest, we can hear the sound of the road between Rennes and Brest, which is quieter most of the time between April and October).
There is a 150-step distance between where you park and the dry toilets.

The spots

We offer a place to park your caravan, camper van or minivan in the large, sheltered area next to the vegetable garden.
Please note that the height of some of the branches on the path to our place is low, and may affect any equipment on a vehicle roof.

The pitch offers you tranquillity and proximity to the sanitary block (shower - space for washing up - fridge with freezer - dry toilets further out in the grounds).
Electric cable available if required
Teleworking from home, but not only, we are available on a variable basis, and we thank you for understanding this.

The sanitary facilities

Isolated dry toilets in the grounds, stand-alone shower and washbasin (hot water) in a small independent chalet.

Please take a look at the layout of the site on the plan provided in the photo description, so as not to be surprised when you arrive.

Other things

We do our utmost to ensure that our premises are clean enough to welcome you.
If by any chance you find that something is not to your liking, please let us know so that we can take action as quickly as possible.
So that we don't find this point of dissatisfaction later on the "cleanliness" note of the ad.
So as not to penalize each other and create frustration on these issues.
As for the quality/price ratio, it is established in relation to the low price levels of local frequentation during your rental period. We do not seek to enrich ourselves by renting, but to share our place.... in a serene and peaceful manner.
We are not professional hosts...
We are at your disposal to discuss these matters.
So that we can move forward, thanks to you!

The house is self-sufficient in water.
This is recycled on site, so we avoid "detergents" and prefer natural products + selective sorting.
A compost is at your disposal.
Our ambition is to share an "eco-place" where we can live & transmit in harmony with nature. To give nature back its rightful place.
You are not our customers, but our guests.
It's a space for experimentation: cultivating, feeding, exchanging, enriching, testing inspiring work rhythms (telecommuting).... to act differently in our environment.
All the money you pay in is reinvested to buy trees, nesting boxes, flowering fallows, etc.
By coming along, you're helping to preserve nature.
If you're bringing your own pet, it's more than welcome, but you should know that we have a dog, Ulysse, an adorable teddy bear who barks at anyone who comes along. We do take a few precautions when it comes to male dogs, as they can be detrimental to your stay.
If your pet doesn't like birds, cohabitation can be complicated for everyone.
We are attentive to your wish to stay with us and will do everything in our power to help you achieve it.
All the money you pay goes back into the purchase of trees, nesting boxes, flowering fallows, and so on.
By coming, you're helping to preserve nature.

We are attentive to your wish to stay with us, and will do everything in our power to make it happen.

  • Green setting very close to nature. And peaceful

  • In training in Rennes I was looking for a secure place to install my van I found much more! The welcome and kindness of Isa, her husband and the nice Ulysses I appreciated especially coming back in the evening in this little corner of paradise where I liked to settle down at the edge of the pond to contemplate the nature next to the vintage caravan. It's a nice place to stay in the summer and at the doors of the city. I highly recommend her hosts. Thank you Isa, it will be a pleasure!

    Automatic translation ༶

  • Thanks to Isa who welcomed us in all simplicity in their little piece of Paradise near Rennes. Their garden and the pond are splendid, the swimming pool very pleasant. The amenities are impeccable. The caravan to which we had access is a haven of peace, of Nature and of silence, just a step away from the beautiful city of Rennes. We highly recommend it!

    Automatic translation ༶

  • We stayed with Isa and Yannig,
    A very good welcome from Isabelle, pleasant setting, green setting, calm. We appreciated it despite the fact that the swimming pool was not usable but in return Isa prepared the caravan for us!
    I will note nevertheless that it is necessary to bring the things in wheelbarrow through the garden of the house to the caravan, I prefer to specify it because it is necessary to be able to do it.
    Place to discover and the doggie Ulysses adorable!

  • A place where nature takes its rights, tranquility and welcome. Interesting people who like contact. Close to Rennes but with nature walks nearby...

  • Very welcoming, we had a great time and a pleasant stay, I highly recommend.

  • So lovely that I reserved twice ! 2 weeks with Isa and Yannig. Highly recommended.

  • Wonderful hosts, beautiful location. Don't hesitate to book.

  • We really appreciated the welcome of Isabelle who took the time to discuss and show us around their very well laid out ecolieu. We really liked the exchanges with Yannig and Isabelle during lunch time. People to meet who have many hats ;) in life and who give the desire to weave links.

    Automatic translation ༶

  • Going to isa and yannig's place is more than spending one or more nights in the nature, it's a real resourcefulness, a dive in a sensory experience. You have to take the time to settle in their paradise on earth. One thing is clear, I will be back :-)

    Automatic translation ༶

  • We are very happy to have discovered this haven of peace.

    We could only stay one night but we enjoyed the great place (swimming pool, bowling alley and peaceful nature) but also the hosts who explained us all their ecosystem with a lot of passion, patience and kindness.

    We recommend this place and especially to nature lovers!

    Automatic translation ༶

  • If you are looking for a peaceful place to recharge your batteries and exchange ideas, then don't hesitate to come here!

    Each step in this green setting is a delight, discovering sometimes a beautiful tree or a pretty flower swaying peacefully in the softness of the air that reigns here, sometimes a curious chick doing her daily sport in the fat and green grass of Brittany! In short, nature is king, and we will take pleasure in curling up in front of such generosity.

    Coherence also, with use of dry toilets well maintained, and very clean hot shower very appreciable after days outside.

    Perfect compromise between nature, comfort for the essential needs and proximity to Rennes.

    A big thank you to Isa and Yannig for their welcome, their smile, their authenticity and their availability during my stay. The moments of exchange were real and full of attention, and I hope they will be in the future.

  • Beautiful site but not perfect for tents (many mole holes, branches, sap falling from trees sticking to the tent...)

    Automatic translation ༶

  • We stayed at Isabelle's for 3 nights and our stay went wonderfully well.
    The children had fun with the pool, the dog, games.
    The setting is very nice and the view of the place very interesting.

    Isabelle made herself very available to us and although the area around Rennes is not very attractive to us (we are Bretons), we will probably come back.

    Automatic translation ༶

  • Thank you for this little stay, despite a short night because of a painful shoulder, we spent a pleasant moment. Warm welcome from Isabelle, with whom we have the pleasure to exchange and really nice place, my children and I loved it ! :)

    Automatic translation ༶

  • Good 1st experience of this mode of travel, we were well received. The place is more suitable for a tent and the park is very pleasant.
    Do not use the barbecue because of Isabelle's respect.

    Automatic translation ༶

  • Isabelle warmly welcomed me and even put a caravan at my disposal. A place of renewal in the middle of nature, 10 minutes from Rennes.
    Thank you again Isabelle for the welcome and the caravan.

    Automatic translation ༶

  • I spent a very good time at Isabelle and Yannig's place, it was a very nice meeting. They are very pleasant, we can discuss everything, and the setting is just sublime and relaxing!
    Thanks again for this great welcome.
    To do again with all the family!

  • Good experience with nice people.

  • Very good stay, in a super pleasant setting, the large trees, the stream and the pond allow for shade and coolness, and are a life-size playground for the children.

    The pool is large and deep, the children enjoyed it for hours!
    Finally, Isabelle is very helpful and ready to help (I forgot to heat up our breakfast), and she has lots of details about nature to give us.


    A stay that makes us want to go back!

  • Thank you very much for a warm welcome and for the little help with the bikes. We had everything we needed - a quiet place near nature, electricity and wifi! Thank you and we hope to return.

  • Great weekend spent at your place. Very relaxing place we felt disconnected in harmony with nature. People who listen to us ready to give a hand thanks to them we are ready for new adventures with our caravan that we tested for the first time

    Automatic translation ༶

  • Very good reception in a beautiful setting. It's a pity that the access area (height of the trees on the access road) and the parking area are so restricted. And even if the solar panels still remember, we recommend this beautiful place.

  • Thank you Isa and yannig for your welcome. Beautiful land

    Automatic translation ༶

  • Great welcome :) Isabelle takes care of her guests so that they have a good stay on their property. Shady land (under the woods and pond) ideal for not burning out in summer.
    At 10/15 minutes from the center of Rennes easy access and yet in the countryside, trade at - 3 minutes by car.

  • Very pleasant stay. Thank you Isabelle and Yanning.

  • Life at Isabelle and Yannig's is like the picture... in the shape of a heart... Kindness, consideration, sharing and simplicity are the key words of their universe. We had a great time, shared our story and the children were delighted, as much as we were.

  • Great welcome from Isa and Yaning! As well as very good advices to discover the region ;) A real corner of paradise close to the forest of Broceliande.
