The setting for warm breaks combines armchairs, a banquette and a wood-burning stove. A beach advertised as 200 metres away invites a walk between two clear spells.
From Plouescat to Ault, houses with a sea view offer a chance to rediscover the coastline out of season, between walks in the open air and sheltered breaks.
What they share can be summed up in a simple formula: making it just as appealing to come back inside as to go out for a walk, without making sunshine a condition of the stay.
First comes a stroll by the water, then the pleasure of a warm break. The marine horizon serves as a guiding thread, whether one goes out or stays indoors.
In Plouescat, a cottage with a sea view invites guests to enjoy the coastline without reserving the getaway for fine weather.
In Guimaëc, Ker Tornaod combines a sea view, a large garden and a living room with a fireplace, for a reunion of eight.
In Ault, a wooden house with a sea view makes one want to extend coastal getaways when temperatures drop.
Elsewhere, a 45 m² stay open onto the sea view makes it possible to enjoy the landscape without leaving the comfort of indoors.
A house designed for six places the landscape at the centre of the stay: a very large picture window, a living room overlooking the sea and exposed beams.
A villa, for its part, advertises a sea view, a fireplace and direct access to the beach — the ingredients of an out-of-season getaway.
A glazed wood-burning stove extends the warm breaks, before or after the walk. From the banquette of a large living room or behind an overhanging picture window, the landscape is enough to fill the time.
An address with a garden makes contemplation a programme in its own right, between outings in the open air and pauses facing the horizon.
Contemporary architecture renews the setting of the holiday home. One traveller mentions the pleasure of evenings by the stove.
These addresses offer a chance to slow down when temperatures fall, between the marine horizon and the pleasure of the fire, rather than filling a programme at all costs.
The charm of seaside holidays is rediscovered there out of season: open air by day, evenings by the fire at night, without waiting for the return of fine weather.
