About
The Cabane de Brocéliande plays the fairy tale card to the full without being too spartan. Set about four metres up an old oak, it sleeps two to four and suits a couple with two children. It is reached by a straight, secure staircase. The cabin has a panoramic terrace where breakfast is served. Inside there is a double bed, a raised child’s bed and an extra bed. Dry toilets are built in, while a private bathroom and small kitchen are close by. The private estate covers four hectares. In 2026, a night with breakfast was priced at 100 to 115 € depending on the season, with opening from the spring holidays to the end of September. Its big advantage is the location: Paimpont, the Trémelin lake, Merlin’s tomb and several major Brocéliande sites are quickly reached.
