  About our holiday gite

Searching for a relaxing holiday in France, may be with a few friends or family?

La Petite Grange is a large self catering holiday gite (accommodating up to 10 people) situated in the small village of Aucaleuc. It has both the tranquility and charm of the countryside whilst being only a 7 minute drive from the center of the historic town of Dinan.

Originally a disused barn, renovation was completed in 2006. Great care has been taken to retain as many original features as possible, resulting in a spacious, charming and comfortable gite, finished to a very high standard.

Boasting the added luxury of a heated outdoor pool to cool off in the summer months and a log fire to cosy around on those cold winter nights, La Petite Grange is perfect as a holiday destination all year through.

With ample parking and its ideal situation the gite is perfect as a base from which to explore the neighbouring towns and their sites such as St. Malo, with its ramparts, the seaside resort of Dinard, breath-taking Mont St. Michel, historic Combourg and the larger towns of St. Brieuc and Rennes. There are many bargains to be had in the shops and why not stock up on wine and local produce before returning home?

Speaking both fluent English and French, the owners are more than happy to advise you on local information and places of interest to help you make the most of your stay in France.
