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.

The artworks of Zab Zarbe
Our interior decoration is carried out in partnership with a local artist, Zab Zarbe. As a result, the paintings displayed in our living rooms are original works that can be purchased through us. Of course, Zab Zarbe has more than one string to her bow (painting, decorative objects, origami, creative workshops), and to find out more about her creations, you can visit the Zab Zarbe Facebook account, and get in touch with her via tatazarbe@gmail.com.
