For buying and selling property in Saint Mayeux
The little village of St Mayeux, found in the inland part of the Côtes d'Armor department of Brittany, is peaceful, charming and authentically Breton in every way. The village is ideally placed for getting to know the more undiscovered parts of the region, but has the advantage of being only 40 minutes drive from the coast and the lively resort towns found there.
St Mayeux is not a big town by any means, but it has enough essential amenities to make life in the village easy and pleasant. You can find a central café, a small supermarket (Viveco) and a Post Office/Mairie. The nearest town with more shops is Corlay (about a ten-minute drive). From Corlay you can get to Saint Nicolas du Pélém which has a SuperU supermarket and 24-hour petrol station (approximately eleven miles away). There is also an Intermache in Mur de Bretagne (about a 10-minute drive), and Pontivy with many more amenities, is another twenty minutes away.
The village has a lovely and interesting church, much of which is said to have been built from the original building of the Abbaye de Bon Repas. The most intriguing feature of the village, though, is undoubtedly its menhirs, or standing stones, which are a particular phenomena of this region of France. Of mysterious but definitely ancient origin, the standing stones of St Mayeux should certainly be on your list of things to see!
One of the best places to visit close to St Mayeux is the fabulous large lake of Guerledan. One of the best leisure lakes in Brittany, Lake Guerledan offers superb fishing, swimming, sailing and boat tours. If you prefer land based activities you won't be disappointed, as the area has golf courses, horse-riding stables, cycle hire and wonderful walking trails.
There are many lovely towns and villages to visit in the region, with the towns of Quintin and Moncontour both being "little cities of character". Nearby Mur de Bretagne is quite delightful too. Make time to visit the mediaeval marvel that is the town of Dinan, with its ancient fortifications, narrow cobbled streets and a host of charming shops and restaurants. Of course, the Breton coast is within easy reach too, and from the lively town of St Brieuc to the pretty beaches of northern Brittany you are bound to find something to please you here.
