The Pleudihen-Sur-Rance Area
Along the Rance, Pleudihen-sur-Rance is a peaceful and tranquil place where "the plough and the Doris are a stone's throw" said Chateaubriand, a famous French writer. The ploughs, although no longer horsedrawn are still very much in evidence in this agricultural landscape as are the much-loved Doris, traditional rowing boats used by local fisherman for cod-fishing in Newfoundland. The Rance is a tidal river with a very large tidal range (up to an impressive 13m). The tidal range and the repeating agricultural cycle means there are everchanging views of both the river and the surrounding countryside.
Enjoy the beach at Mordreuc, say hello to our resident seal, go hiking in Val Hervelin or take the trails by foot or bike that lead to La Rance. Visit the Moulin du Pratt - the only working mill on the Rance. The Rance Valley has long been known for its variety of apples and the quality of its cider, so take the time to visit the cider museum where you will see the traditional methods of cider-making and taste their ciders. Later, head to the Val de Rance, our local cider producer, in the heart of Pleudihen to stock up on cider to eat with galettes and crepe - traditional Breton fare.
