La Vieille Ferme has been built in the traditional Breton style, but furnished to meet all modern requirements.

We also have a heated indoor pool to be enjoyed by the whole family.

La Vieille Ferme comprises:

An entrance-hall, corner kitchen, dining area and salon with armchairs and a sofa, granite fireplace with a woodburning fire, and a washroom/toilet on the ground floor. If you are coming with a large party and are booking more than one gite, La Vieille Ferme will be one of the gites you must book as there is plenty of room for up to 24 people to sit together if tables are brought in from the other gites.

The gite is very well equipped for those travelling with young children and infants as we have practically everything you might need on holiday which means you don’t need bring items from home; in addition to cots, high chairs and stair barriers we also have a baby changing table, baby bath, bottle sterilising unit, swing chair and baby chair and a listening device etc. If necessary, all kitchen cupboards and upstairs windows have locks which are reversible and only need be engaged when infants are in the property. We have also fitted barriers to the patios.

Upstairs comprises 1 double bedroom, one with twin beds and a 3rd bedroom has bunk beds and also a baby's cot. One bathroom has a bath & basin whilst the other has shower, basin & toilet. There is a also a separate toilet. With central heating and also a woodburner this is an ideal holiday accommodation all year round.

Outside, La Vieille Ferme has patios to both the front and the rear and also a tiered garden alongside, beyond that the larger grassed garden area is shared with the guests in the other gites. Whilst we place the wooden patio furniture on the rear patios of the other gites, we have always left the furniture on the front patio of La Vieille Ferme as it is the warmest spot at La Julerie.

In the communal garden area there is plenty to keep children entertained for hours, including a a climbing frame with swings, slide and fireman's pole etc. Elsewhere there is a playhouse and sandpit for the younger children.

Another feature of La Julerie is its' large leisure room through which one gets access to the indoor/outdoor swimming pool, it has glass covers which can be retracted in fine weather there is a walled patio surrounding the other 3 sides of the pool which make an ideal suntrap and pace to lie back and enjoy the sun.

Surrounding Area

Our local town of Corseul has a small supermarket, 2 bakeries, a restaurant and a pizzeria and some bars.

La Julerie is only 18km (about 20 min drive) from the coast which offers a large number of safe sandy beaches, which is what all children adore; several beaches offer sailing, and all types of surfing schools –wind, kite and sand yachts; just what the teenagers and more adventurous adults enjoy. There are many offshore islands well worth a visit at low tide, for the whole family to enjoy. We know from experience that the young children really enjoy looking in the ponds as the tide recedes for little fish and shrimps and crabs, and also collecting some of the lovely shells to be found in the sand- quite often we just reach the island and find it is time to return ahead of a rising tide- but always with really happy children!

La Julerie is only 10km from the historic town of Dinan where you can see many medieval buildings, or enjoy their weekly market or wander down a cobbled street to the port and enjoy lunch alongside the river.

The world famous Mont St Michel is less than an hour’s drive from La Julerie as is the capital of Brittany- Rennes where you will find museums featuring the history of this ancient part of France. St Malo and Dinard face each other across the estuary of the River Rance; St Malo is a busy port and a centre for yachting but also a hive of activity as a popular tourist centre, whilst its neighbour across the river hosts the annual British Film Festival each September. Dinard also boasts beach tents for changing in. 

La Julerie provides an ideal centre for all visitors, whether they have come to Brittany to enjoy the wonderful beaches, or to go sight seeing in any of the historic towns including Dinan and St Malo. If you are more active, there are golf courses in the area. Those who enjoy walking can select some of the numerous well signposted, river, country and coastal walks or visits to neighbouring islands.

If your choice of leisure activity is on the water and you want to learn new skills or improve existing ones, why not enrol for classes with one of the local sailing or windsurfing schools. If you prefer horse riding, then you can enjoy this activity at one of the local equestrian centres.

There are numerous restaurants in the area, some specialising in sea food for which the area is famous, others will offer a full range of traditional French cuisine, and of course there are Le Creperies serving an enormous range of crepes and galettes- a Breton speciality.

Several guests have had their wedding banquets or family parties (for up to 40 guests) in the games room, and have used local outside caterers (les Traiteurs) to take care of all of the food and drink. We have the names of some to whom we can recommend. To be able to use the games room for any such facility, guests do need rent all of the Gites otherwise you would be stopping others using it and the pool. The pool is 9 x 4 mts with Roman steps at one end a a level bottom at 1.65 mts which makes it ideal for parents with young children as the parents can stand anywhere in the pool to look after their children.

Whilst it is possible to get a wheelchair into this gite, it is not designed for disabled guests., but another of the gites at La Julerie is desigend to welcome them- Les Ecuries.

Whilst only Saturday to Saturday bookings are accepted during High season, at all other times of the year arrival and departure days are flexible and short term term bookings are welcome.
