IMPORTANT INFORMATION – We are currently undertaking major building work at our gite complex. These changes affect both the exterior and interior of the property. Amongst these changes are a newly refurbished swimming pool and the alteration of the current two let properties into one extended family gite comprising four bedrooms, three of which are en-suite. As a direct result of these changes, our former two gite lets – L’Aurore and Bon Temps are being renamed ‘Maison La Perouse’. Work is currently ongoing with an expected completion date of early April. We will reopen the business in the final week of April. Some information on the website has been updated already. New photographs and a slightly different website layout will be posted on the site soon. Please note that the 2023 prices for Maison La Perouse are now listed on our website, For all enquiries relating to our gite complex, please refer to the current booking calendar on the website and the contact form provided both of which are up to date. Thank you….Sue & Patrick

Welcome to the luxury holiday setting of La Boudonniere and the gite complex ‘Maison La Perouse’, situated in the beautiful countryside of the Ille et Vilaine region of northern Brittany, France. The complex provides an opportunity to relax within an enclosed private gite setting , situated in expansive tranquil grounds of almost four acres including a natural wood, a heated swimming pool during summer months, play area, extensive lawned gardens and a small lake. As with most areas in Brittany, La Boudonniere is very close to woodland and forest – home to deer, wild boar, foxes, hares, rabbits, badgers and a large variety of birds including woodpeckers, kingfishers, cuckoos, owls, herons, buzzards, egrets and turtle doves. The popular Villecartier Forest and Lakes are only a few minutes walk from the gite , where you can experience a whole range of activities including pony trekking, cycling, walking, adventure climbing, boating or you can relax at The Moulin Cafe overlooking the main lake. With so little light pollution in the area, the sky at night overlooking our property boasts one of the best views of stars, planets and constellations anywhere in France.
Maison La Perouse is easily accessed from the D90 main road and we are less than five minutes drive from the picturesque small town of Bazouges La Perouse where you will find a varied range of amenities including a restaurant, supermarket, some shops, bars, bank, tourist information office, pharmacy, garage, hairdressers and post office.
