My Cottage in Brittany

On the Brittany-Normandy border, 'Le Petit Lapin' is a traditional Breton cottage located on the edge of a village 9 km from the famous Mont Saint Michel.

'Le Petit Lapin' has had an update! There's lots of new paint, a new headboard in the bedroom, new hooks for coats and a new narrow shelf for bits and bobs under the stairs. There's also a new table and more stylish chairs for a brighter, lighter look, a 'boutique' experience in the French countryside. Here's a preview, but even more new photos are now up on the Airbnb website: https://airbnb.com/h/mycottageinbrittany

The cottage is busy! With the relaxing of lockdown in England and the end of the French 'confinement', guests have returned to 'Le Petit Lapin', which is now booked for most of the rest of the summer and into September. There is much to explore safely in the region, including beaches near Cancale and a nearby forest... but many guests just seem happy to take time out to relax with a book and/or a glass of wine.

The kitchen is finished at last-- whew! It took longer than I anticipated, but everything is now in place and ready for guests: new washing machine, new oven, new refrigerator larger than the old one... and a fresh, brighter look with lights and storage and little shelves that weren't there two months ago. I'm really happy with the result and hope future visitors will be, too!

On this wet and rainy Sunday in Brittany there are still a few finishing touches to do on the new kitchen, so this past week I've focused on the garden. The courtyard and orchard are never at their very best in January, but winter is a good time to take care of little projects that, come spring, will make the entire property look even better. This year I decided to have a hard border put in to delineate the gravel and the grass... voilà!

As I write a new kitchen is going in... offering not only more storage for guests, but a new oven, a larger refrigerator, and a better washing machine-- very exciting! The off-white facade makes the area trendier and brighter, while the addition of more lighting-- including a lamp directly over the cooking area and a little 'reading light' over the couch-- allows guests to illuminate exactly the spaces they want. I am hoping that the result will be even more practical as well as just a bit more romantic. I'll post pictures of the completely finished result very soon and update the entire website to reflect the changes in the coming weeks. For the moment, the kitchen is still not quite perfect... but 'Le Petit Lapin' is prepared for a happy new year and open for reservations!

Marcel, the smallest of my cats, kept me company this afternoon as I swept the cottage terrace in the sunshine. November is generally quite a temperate month here in Brittany and I was delighted to find a purple pansy among the sage and fallen leaves in the orchard.

It's now definitely autumn at 'Le Petit Lapin' and having returned from a busy fortnight in America, I've spent the weekend harvesting apples and pears...yum!

People have asked for a few more photos of 'Le Petit Lapin', so here are some I took this afternoon....
