Peaceful woodland park 500 metres from Matignon
A 10-minute drive from the spectacular beaches of Saint-Cast-le-Guildo
Indoor pool, bowling alley, skate park and hiking/cycling tours

An award-winning leafy site in a beaut Bretagne setting… does that sound just bon to you? If so (as it should), take you and yours to the peaceful family park of Le Vallon aux Merlettes, for days among woodland and countryside, beach and coast. Le Vallon aux Merlettes is a green site of nearly four hectares, just 500 metres from the centre of Matignon village in the Cotes-d'Armor department of Brittany, and about 40 minutes' drive from Saint-Brieuc, the department capital. Hikes and bike tours depart straight from the site into the scenic surrounding countryside; for bucket and spade and sandy days, the north Brittany coast is 10 minutes' drive or about half an hour's cycle away. For once though, your offspring may not agitate too much immediately on arrival to get to the beach even before you've unpacked... For there are excellent kid-friendly options at their on-site disposal, including a bowling alley, a football pitch, a playground and a skate park for the seriously cool. Small sorts can also tackle tennis if of a size to wield a racket, or splash around in the paddling pool of the heated indoor water complex. Grownups concerned with essentials will be gratified to note the site's friendly and helpful vibe, along with its spotless amenities in the well-maintained bathroom block, with baby changing nursery, hairdryers and kids' showers. They might also like to note the location of the snack bar, with free wifi too...

Liked: Very clean facilities, both showers and toilets. Service point excellent.

Disliked: Grass pitches a bit muddy and the sand/gravel covering didn't help much. Some pitches need a very long electric lead.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Good size pitch Excellent new toilet & shower block. Free WiFi Close to village with supermarket, fuel station etc.

Disliked: Booking-in process. New arrivals must leave vehicle at barrier until booked in, no other vehicles can enter during this time causing frustration for anyone returning to site. Perhaps there could be a waiting area away from the barrier while booking-in process is completed ? Electricity hook-ups can be 20m from pitch.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Wonderful site, friendly staff, clean amenities and everything you could ask for on a short stay, small bar open until 7pm in low season (from 1st sept). Good size pitches some with good shade if you have dogs.

Disliked: Nothing we decided to stay an extra night. Dog walks limited but fine for our older dogs.

David H. Sept 2023

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Large pitches, freedom to choose own pitch, good choice of shady or sunny pitches. Very friendly and attentive staff. Almost new and very clean sanitary facilities which didn’t get crowded. Fantastic covered pool. Walking distance to a lovely town with all the shops, restaurants, takeaways and bars that you are likely to need for a short stay. Only 10 mins drive to a superb beach, can also be reached by bike on quiet roads.

Disliked: My only criticism is the lack of dedicated grey water disposal around the site. This is true of many French sites. It was a very small inconvenience that didn’t adversely impact an otherwise excellent stay.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: The site was really well laid out, pitches very private, not noisey, Lovely showers and toilets

Disliked: Hedges needed cutting Floors in toilets and showers could have been cleaner.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hello Mme Harrisson Thanks for your review. The edges aren't not cutting because it's forbidden between april to october. The floor in toilets and shower is cleaning every morning and afternoon each day. But it was raining for your week and the floor was quickly reappeared with the passage because of bad weather. Best regards

Owners were so polite and acommodating, very kind and helpful. The pitches were…

Local attractions

A tree climbing park, an 18-hole golf course and a recreation park are all nearby, as are watersports such as diving, boat trips, sand yachting and paddleboating from the Cotes-d'Armor waters. Mountain bike and hiking trails leave from nearby; ask the amiable owners for their top tips on which to follow. The closest beaches are at Saint-Cast-le-Guildo, the port town and seaside resort that became a swish place to build one's villa around the middle of the 19th century (the Quartier des Mielles and the Pointe de la Garde are where you'll see the poshest examples). Sandy beaches are around the town, along with a spacious Emerald Coast headland, hidden coves and the GR 34 coastal route. A couple of capes are must-sees around this part of Brittany, the first being the purple headland of Cape Erquy, 20 minutes' drive away at the eastern end of St-Brieuc Bay and home to Erquy port, famed for its scallops and beach resort. Then there's stunning Cap Fréhel, 20 minutes' drive to the north, with seabird reserve, old lighthouse and fortified castle, and spectacular vistas over the Emerald Coast and the Channel Islands.
