Welcome to Bel Air, the highest point in the Côtes d' Armor!
These peaceful country cottages offer a relaxing break for the whole family. They are surrounded by hiking, mountain biking and horse-riding trails.
In the villages surrounding the Belairienne cottages, you’ll find a wide range of local producers (beekeepers, direct farm sales, cookie makers, cheese makers, wine merchants, etc.), craftsmen (La Boutique Atelier de Moncontour, dressmakers, etc.) and local shops. The Belairienne cottages are located in the heart of Brittany, in the countryside, 10 minutes from the medieval town of Moncontour.
In a central location, you can easily visit the treasures of Brittany without exceeding 1.30 hour drive: Côte d’Emeraude, Dinan, Saint Malo, forest of Broceliande, Morbihan, Vannes, Groix or Bréhat islands, Guerlédan lake, Rennes… and so much more!
