Mongolian, gypsy or marine atmosphere
Presentation
Practical information
Exoticism of glamping, beauties of the Breton coast: on the banks of the Laïta, escape takes all forms.
Between Lorient and Concarneau, the Laïta River separates Morbihan and Finistère. Not far from there, between moorland and forest, Anne and Thierry have set up a gypsy caravan and Mongolian yurts on the grounds of an old farm.
The wooden furnishings of the caravan, its varnished furniture evoke the warm intimacy of sailors' cabins or the traditional box-beds typical of the region. Only the sound of the wind will lull the occupants of this naturally insulated habitat with hemp wool.
A few meters away, another shelter, another atmosphere: the decor of the yurts is inspired by the shimmering patterns of Mongolian art. Close the door: you are transported far from the Breton plain.
But outside, the landscape holds other beauties.
In summer, the Laïta can be explored by kayak, in rhythm with the tide: the old Cistercian abbey nestled in the Saint-Maurice cove is a perfect spot for a stop. Families go swimming at the Pouldu beach. A little further, walkers cheerfully call out to each other across the charming port of Doëlan. Pancakes or shellfish, they can take a break for a meal in one of the many small restaurants in the region before resuming their walk along the coastal path: they will witness, invigorated by the sea breeze, the endless marriage of spray and moorland.
✯ Open from early April to late September ✯
