L'Ancienne Boulangerie

About this property

In the heart of the seaside town of Carantec, L’Ancienne Boulangerie unveils a bold, architectural surprise. Once the town’s main bakery, this striking townhouse has been completely reimagined into a one-of-a-kind Brittany escape. Every detail, from the angular lines to the unexpected interiors, tells the story of thoughtful transformation. A sense of modern creativity flows through the home, where quirky touches meet sleek fittings.

The main house stretches over three levels, with sociable living spaces and quiet corners designed for lingering. The lower floor hosts a kitchen and casual lounge that open to the small garden. Upstairs, a vast open-plan living room and another kitchen with central island give way to an elevated terrace for al-fresco dining.

This unique abode sleeps up to 12 guests. The top-floor master en suite bedroom feels like a private hideaway, complete with a four-poster bed and a playful tennis umpire’s chair so you can catch a glimpse of the sea through angled Velux windows. On the lower level, another four double bedrooms await, all of which can be split as twins, alongside two shower rooms. The sixth bedroom can be found in an upper studio, offering independent living with its own kitchen corner with dining table, double bed, lounge and balcony.

Days here unfold with easy rhythm. Begin with coffee on the main terrace, then wander around 15 to 20 minutes to one of several nearby beaches. Return for a long lunch prepared on the barbecue or explore the offshore charm of Île Callot and the storied walls of Château du Taureau. In the evening, the terrace becomes the perfect setting for cider and conversation as the sun dips.

Carantec, a breezy Breton town perched on the tip of Finistère, offers a winning mix of coast, culture and cuisine. With local cafés, bakeries and seafood restaurants just a short stroll away, everything you need is on hand. Roscoff ferry port is within half an hour by car, making arrival easy and spontaneous getaways a pleasure.

For those drawn to design-led spaces and the salty air of Brittany’s northern coast, L’Ancienne Boulangerie invites a new kind of coastal living.

In the heart of the picturesque seaside town of Carantec, L’Ancienne Boulangerie offers guests an authentic taste of Brittany’s coastal charm. Located less than half an hour by car from the ferry port of Roscoff, this unique abode sits within walking distance of everything Carantec has to offer, from golden beaches and island views to inviting cafés and Breton markets. The vibrant town centre is right on your doorstep with bakeries, restaurants and shops just moments away.

It's a stroll to several nearby beaches such as Plage du Kelenn (1km) and Plage du Clouët (1.5km), both within a 20-minute walk, ideal for a morning swim, sunbathing or trying your hand at watersports. A short drive brings you to a large supermarket for everyday essentials, while the surrounding landscape invites exploration on foot or by bike. The scenic Pointe de Penn-al-Lann trail offers breathtaking views over the coastline, and the coastal causeway to Île Callot at low tide reveals an island escape waiting to be discovered.

Carantec is steeped in maritime history and natural beauty, with highlights such as the dramatic Château du Taureau, an offshore fortress accessible via boat tour across the Bay of Morlaix. Visit the town’s charming Saint-Carantec Church just down the road or tee off at the local 9-hole golf course (1.5km) with sweeping sea views. For fishing enthusiasts, the region's rocky coves and gentle tides provide ideal conditions for both sea and freshwater angling.

Food lovers are spoiled for choice. Savour fresh oysters and seafood platters at harbourside favourites like Le Cabestan, or sample traditional crêpes and Breton cider at La Crêperie du Port. The weekly market is a local favourite, brimming with artisan cheeses, fresh produce and irresistible baked goods.

Whether you're exploring ancient fortresses, celebrating the Fête de la Mer with fireworks and seafood or simply enjoying the rhythm of Breton town life, Carantec offers a perfect blend of coastal adventure and cultural richness, all just steps from your front door at L’Ancienne Boulangerie.
