The Experience

Unlatch your gate to the walled garden, a ‘petit parc’ bursting with shrubs, trees and lush lawns. Dog lovers will fall in love with Edmond, who may well choose to accompany you on a stroll.

As for the three-storey gîte, it sits in the east wing. Its front terrace, screened from the owners’ by abundant greenery, is a perfect summer spot for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Head for the Saturday market in Morlaix (4km) and bring your spoils back here… to the kitchen with its sparkling pots and crocks, welcome basket, and stylish chandelier. You’ll love the cobbled streets of Morlaix, its colourful half-timbered buildings and its old river-port feel. Head off for white sandy beaches, craggy coves, and many tiny islands to explore.

Top places to eat out? The much-loved Crêperie L’Hermine in Morlaix, and the friendly L’Hôtel de Carantec, with starry tasting menus and a stunning sea view.

Reviews

I'd love to stay and recharge my batteries here. The calm and verdant countryside on the doorstep, and the beautiful wild coast a short drive away – it really has the best of both!
Inspected Nicky Sawday's Inspector

Pat, Gloucester

We have stayed in many gites in France over the last 30 years and this is one of the best. Superb hosts who were always available with recommendations for places to visit, restaurants they could book for us etc but never intrusive. The gite was beautifully and tastefully furnished and extremely well equipped both in terms of crockery, dishwasher, washing machine but also carefully sourced and detailed literature about the area. A number of sitting out areas in beautiful gardens as well. We hope to be back.


Jennifer, Sherborne, Dorset

Our stay at the gite au Manoir du Plessis Quinquis in late Aug /early Sept exceeded expectations in every way. Our hosts Eric and Olivier were delightful and could not do enough for us. We knew we were going to fall in love with Edmond the dog, and we did, big time, but we also fell in love with the whole setting and the wonderful garden, still evolving. The cottage was extremely comfortable, beautifully furnished throughout, with bold colour and attractive objects d’art. Their recommendations for cultural, gastronomic and scenic visits were much appreciated by us and our ten days passed by in a flash. We would thoroughly recommend the ‘Manoir’ in this tiny hamlet to anyone who appreciates serenity and comfort.


Joanne, Cambridge

We had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay at The Plessis-Quinquis Manor House. Eric and Olivier were very helpful and friendly assisting us as required. The main garden was beautiful; we had our own private area too. The beautifully decorated gite was located in a very peaceful area; the shower worked perfectly and the beds were very comfortable. The surrounding area offered wonderful beaches; we had the opportunity to sample the local oysters. We would recommend staying at this comfortable gite.


Louise, Bristol

I spent a lovely week here with my mum. We were only booked in for 6 nights but enjoyed it so much we stayed an extra night. The gîte is very comfortable and the garden, created by Olivier, provides a beautiful setting. Eric and Olivier were friendly and helpful hosts which added to the enjoyment of our stay. There’s a lot do do in the area and a week wasn’t long enough. We highly recommend staying here.


Location

The neighbourhood

From the little lane, sweep in to discover a sublime manor house and hamlet set in a patchwork of pastures. A short walk away are a wood, a lake (less than 600 yards from the manor) with ducks and swans, marked pathways... all you hear are the birds. For breakfast's baguettes, pop to the corner shop in Sainte-Sève (a 20-minute walk). Or hop in the car to charming Saint-Martin-des-Champs: it's a five-minute drive.

Local points of interest from Eric Le Parc

  • Morlaix – a town of 3 hills and 1000 years of history, featuring an iconic viaduct, stroll through its marina and quayside, alleyways and old quarters. Don't miss the graffiti tour!
  • Morlaix Bay: Visit the offshore prison of Château du Taureau and from Carantec, walk or cycle to Île Callot at low tide
  • History lovers and gardeners will love Roscoff's botanic garden, and nearby île de Batz with its own exotic garden
  • Amiets Beach in Cleder, a large beach of white sand with turquoise waters and a huge rock of pink granite.
  • Brittany’s parish closes are renowned in France for their charming looks. With their quaint and curious embellishments, they have the power to pull you in, even if you’re not religious. Competition between neighbouring parishes could be intense.
  • Come and play a 9-hole golf course at Carantec overlooking the bay of Morlaix

Introducing

Eric Le Parc

Eric and Olivier swapped high-pressure jobs in Paris for the slow life in Brittany, opening their doors to guests in 2021. Olivier is a talented gardener inspired by British and Dutch designers, notably Piet Oudolf. Eric, front of house, is a font of knowledge for guests, and both are friendly and helpful. Young Edmond, a Basset ‘fauve de Bretagne’, adds to the welcoming vibe.
