Description for Gite

Welcome to MiKa-GaLe, a charming 3-bedroom longere located in the peaceful village of Ploerdut in the beautiful Morbihan region of Brittany. Set on 1.75 hectares of private garden and land, this cozy gite comfortably sleeps 6 people, with the possibility of accommodating larger groups upon request.

Surrounded by rolling green hills, quiet wooded valleys, and three rivers - Ellé, Scorff, and Aër - MiKa-GaLe offers a tranquil and idyllic rural setting. The surrounding countryside is perfect for outdoor activities such as walking, running, cycling, bird-watching, photography, and even painting and drawing. Explore the extensive network of footpaths that traverse open countryside as well as densely wooded hills and river valleys.

Ploërdut village, just a short walk from the house, features a beautiful Medieval Church and offers amenities such as a Boulangerie, crêperie, two friendly bars, an eatery, and a self-service shop. The area is also rich in historical landmarks, churches, chapels, and medieval villages that seem frozen in time. Within a half-hour drive, you can visit attractions such as the mysterious Chapelle St. Barbe, St. Fiacre, Le Faouet market hall, Les Rochers Du Diable for white water kayaking, and the picturesque Vallee-du-Scorff for a lovely picnic.

The nearest town, Guemene Sur Scorff, is just 10 minutes away and offers a charming historic center with a weekly market, bars, restaurants, banks, a post office, cinema, traditional small shops, and supermarkets. The town sits on the river Scorff, surrounded by unspoiled rolling farmland and the ancient Fôret de Quenecan. Guémené-sur-Scorff is also known for its ancient buildings and is home to one of Brittany's oldest taverns, Les Trois Marchands, serving customers since the mid-1600s.

Just a 20-minute drive away, the larger historic city of Pontivy sits on the Nantes-Brest Canal and provides miles of beautiful walking and cycling paths along the renovated tow-paths. Nearby cities and towns worth exploring include Vannes, Josselin, Pont-Aven, Concarneau, Quimper, and Carnac.
