Pontivy, the lively town just a few minutes from La Sabotière

Pontivy is the nearest town to our cottages, and it is often one of the first places our guests enjoy discovering. Both medieval and Napoleonic, it offers narrow old streets, timber-framed houses, a castle, lively squares and the wide avenues laid out under the Empire. A town with character, yet always welcoming.

Our favourite places to eat in Pontivy

I have a fondness for houses that last — places where you feel the walls have seen many years go by without losing their soul. They inspire confidence, just like the old Breton homes that welcome without pretence. Two restaurants in Pontivy reflect this spirit beautifully.

Le Martray is one of our favourite tables. The cooking is traditional and generous, and the owners are wonderfully welcoming. It is an old house, warm and authentic, where you feel at ease straight away — a little like at home with us.

L’Auberge de l’Île is another good, reliable address, faithful to the Breton spirit. A solid, well‑run house where you eat well and where the welcome has remained steady over the years. A simple, trustworthy and authentic place — just as we like them.
