Guemene Penfao lies almost in the centre of the Pays de 3 Rivieres. It is a magical area with beautiful scenery and so much to do, it’s difficult to know where to begin. There are wonderful walks through forests, ancient chateaux, chapels and churches to visit, water sports of every kind including the town’s indoor pool with spa and Jacuzzi and a lake with a safe beach area in nearby Plesse, 4 riding stables to suit all abilities, and then of course there’s food.
There are over 18 restaurants listed in the local area guide book and plenty more besides. There are 10 bars and restaurants in Guemene Penafo alone. Les quatre cles is about a 3 minute drive from the town centre or easily reached on foot in about 10 minutes. The swimming pool can also be reached by a footpath across a field, the river Don, with a very stimulating climb up steps on the other side.
For those with golfing instincts, there are 4 wonderful 18 hole championship courses at Rennes, Nantes, Savenay and Missillac (Golf de la Bretche – breathtaking scenery with a chateau to die for) both 20 miles away and 9 hole courses at Caden – 24 miles and Treffiex – 15 miles. Even though the area itself has so much to offer, there are many other places worth visiting within easy reach, such as Josselin with its magnificent chateau or for car enthusiasts there’s Loheac which is home to the largest motor museum in France. The French national rallycross championships are held there with opportunities to have lessons in saloon car and go-cart racing.
Or how about spending a day in Paris, under 3 hours away direct from Redon Station which is only a 15 minute drive away. The historic cities of Rennes, Nantes (visit the wonderful newly restored castle amd ride the amazing mechanical elephant), St Nazaire, the beaches of La Baule and the wild coves of the cote sauvage, and the vineyards of the Loire are all within easy driving distance for a wonderful day out.
An easy drive from St Malo in under 1 hr 40mins or from either Rennes or Nantes around 40 mins. Full route directions are supplied on booking.
