The Rose Granite coast, with its picturesque beaches, is the perfect place to go to sun bathe, relax and explore the many small coves and rock pools. Within 20 minutes drive there is a wide choice of beaches, including the tremendous St Quay Portrieux, Plogrescant and Perros Guirec, which means that you have the choice of secluded sandy beaches or busier promenades. You can also visit local towns and charming harbours. The beautiful Island of Flowers (or Isle de Brehat) is a very popular destination for guests at Le Manoir and guests can go by ferry to the island from Paimpol - there are no cars on the island.
Lac du Guerledan, just one hour drive away, is an amazing 150 acre lake offering swimming, fishing, canoeing, tennis, cycling, walking, mini-golf, horse-riding, sailing, picnicking and a children's playground.

The park offers bouncy castles, pedalos and excellent outdoor and indoor pools with water slides.
A lovely way to discover the Trieux valley is the ninety year old Paimpol-Pontrieux steam train. Open between June and December, you get to travel through the Penhoad-Lancerf forest and stop for local specialities on the way. For great days out, there is also a telecommunications museum, planetarium, Tregomeur Zoo, Oceanopolis and many excellent markets. There are also many chateaux to visit, including the 15th century Chateau de Roche Jagu. In the local area there are equestrian centres and superb golf courses.
