Kera Cottage
“ This little fermette is a special haven of peace and tranquillity. ”
On the foothills of wildly beautiful Monts d’Arrée in Armorique regional national park, this little fermette is a special haven of peace and tranquility. Within a small stone hamlet which made linen in the 1700’s, you’ll forget the clock to take your own time, slow
down and sharpen your senses.
Explore over 100km of paths through moors, woods and rocky peaks. In under an hour you can walk to Roc Trevezel, highest peak of the Armorican Massif which offers a view all the way to the sea on a clear day. This area is the source of many rivers with ancient mills and linen processing sites, stone chapels and elaborate parish churches, and megalithic standing stones.

Discover the wonderful ways of combining these vibrant flavors.
