For buying and selling property in Poullaouen
The town of Poullaouen is set in the wild and mysterious department of Finistère, in the west of Brittany. Poullaouen was once a great mining centre, producing significant quantities of copper, silver, lead and zinc, but the town is now more likely to welcome tourists than miners, and its thriving economy more concerned with the luxury holiday trade than metal ore. Today Poullaouen has a lively community life, a handful of shops and useful services, and enjoys a good amount of summer sunshine.
Poullaouen is fortunate indeed in its location, which blends tranquil pasture land with mysterious rock formations. It has easy access to what is probably the most spectacular coast in France and also rejoices in easy access to the UK, making it ideal for those who are seeking a property to form a weekend retreat from the rat race of life in London. Finistère could not be more different, being suffused with myths, magic and legends, having a clean salt tang to its air and a sense that when God was creating his universe he gave many of the blessings to this corner of France.
Poullaouen is a community with a heart, and this means that there are shops, schools and services all to hand, which helps not just the economic success of the town but also the residents of Poullaouen. Here you can find a bakery, a mini market, a school, a doctor's surgery, a hairdresser, a garage and a pharmacy. Of course, it is easy to jump into the car and head for the more extensive facilities of nearby Carhaix should you need to.
The town has a selection of bars and restaurants which provide a very warm Breton welcome and good local food and drink. Brittany is known for its ciders, so try a change from beer or wine and enjoy a glass of something different. Carhaix is only minutes away, and offers a great range of cafés and restaurants as well as fast food outlets too... so something for all tastes and ages there!
The region offers some fantastic cultural events, and there can be no better way to discover the history and traditions of Finistère than to attend the many fêtes and festivals that celebrate life in this wonderful corner of the country. See the amazing rock formations and lovely forests of neighbouring Huelgoat, enjoy the spectacular coast and clean unspoiled beaches, and simply enjoy being outdoors in lovely countryside. Of course, you can also enjoy various sporting activities in and near Poullaouen, where you can find superb walking and cycling trails, fishing, tennis, boules and much more.
