What's in Plélauff?
Truth be told, there's not a lot in Plélauff, at least not in terms of night-life and shops... but that is just the way the residents like it. Quaint and charming, the village has some historic features that are worth seeing, such as its church and its Notre Dame de la Croix Chapel, as well as its ancient buildings and twisting, narrow streets. There's a little bar, where you can practice or polish your French and get to know the locals, and if you want a string of shops and a choice of restaurants, there are plenty of well equipped towns and villages all within easy reach. Gouarec and Plougernevel are the closest villages while the closest towns are Rostrenen, Pontivy and slightly further away St Brieuc.

The local area
Plélauff is a tranquil hideaway, but there is so much to do and see on the doorstep that you really won't be bored. The sea is close, so days at the seaside are always on the cards. The Nantes Brest Canal is a lovely setting for peaceful walks, and also provides great fishing for those who enjoy this relaxing pastime. The quiet roads and tracks of the region are perfect for walking, cycling or horse-riding, and for those who require a little more horsepower to their sports, there is a quad biking centre just ten minutes away. The leisure lake of Guerlédan is very close to the village too, and offers even more activities in another beautiful setting.
