Fleur de Bretagne Camping

The site is set in 38 acres of tranquil undulating rural countryside, offering a range of terraced locations for up to 100 pitches, with electric hook-ups. We have two toilet blocks complete with disabled facilities, drinking water and chemical toilet disposal; there are other drinking water points around the site. The terraces are suitable for caravan, motor caravans and tents. We also offer a motor home service area.

The Camp Site takes up only a small part of the overall site and there are many walks and places to escape. There is a secluded wood and a fishing lake as part of the park.

Rostrenen, to the south of the département of Cotes D'Armor, holds the pardon of Notre Dame de Rostrenen which dates back to the 14th century and takes place in the middle of August. A statue of the Virgin is carried by torchlight to the Montagne du Miniou.

Côtes-d'Armor lies on the North coast of Brittany. It has a rugged coastline with steep cliffs and is dotted with quaint, medieval towns.

St Brieuc stages the popular Breton rock festival in summer with a host of internationally renowned artists. Sample the fresh shellfish - the Côtes d'Armor is the largest European producer of scallops.

Dinan sits on the river Rance with the houses of the old town clustered together behind the ramparts. The town also boasts some spectacular coastal views.

A short 10 minute drive from the campsite you will find the Nantes-Brest canal. It is a meandering chain of waterways from Finistère to the Loire, which interweaves rivers with stretches of canal built at Napoléon's instigation to bypass the belligerent English fleets off the coast. Finally completed in 1836, it came into its own at the end of the century as a coal, slate and fertilizer route. The building of the dam at Lac Guerlédan in the 1920s chopped the canal in two, leaving a whole section unnavigable by barge. Road transport had already superseded water haulage; now tourism is breathing life back into the canal.'

En route the canal passes through riverside towns, such as Josselin and Malestroit, that long predate its construction; commercial ports and junctions - Pontivy, most notably - that developed in the nineteenth century because of it; the old port of Redon, a patchwork of water, where the canal crosses the River Vilaine; and a sequence of scenic splendours, including the string of lakes around the Barrage de Guerlédan, near Mur-de-Bretagne. As a focus for exploring inland Brittany, whether by barge, bike, foot or all three, the canal is ideal. Not every stretch is accessible, but there are detours to be made away from it, such as into the wild and desolate Monts d'Arrée to the north of the canal in Finistère.
