Ty Louisette has everything you could wish for as a home away from home. The Gite is located in a quiet rural hamlet but is a short drive from Pontivy with all the amenities a large town has to offer. The Gite itself is less than a minute's walk from the Nantes-Brest canal with its towpaths to explore and fishing permits are available. It's possible to cycle along the canal from the Gite directly into the centre of Pontivy. |

Excellent gite, spotlessly clean, spacious and comfortable. Worked really well for our son in his powered wheelchair. Great location for exploring Brittany. Thank you for being so helpful (and for jump starting our car!). We hope to visit again.

Fantastic gite. Completed to a very high standard. Lovely location right beside the canal and very central in Brittany. Have thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the owners were extremely helpful pointing us in the right direction with places to visit & restaurants to eat in. Would highly recommend the gite as a place to stay.
