Deeply rooted in regional traditions, longères are undeniably a new, charming trend for anyone wishing to reconnect with nature and with noble, well-suited materials. In Brittany, longères are mainly built from granite stone, a true witness to the history of this region. Our estate agency in Morbihan presents all the advantages.
Simplicity
Historically, longères were long, narrow buildings intended to house farming families as well as their animals. Our estate agency knows this well: some have a well and a small stone bench, inviting you to enjoy the garden. This original simplicity is what gives these homes all their charm.
Strength and natural insulation
Longères have stood the test of time, through winds and tides. The granite walls, sometimes reaching up to 80 cm in thickness, provide comfortable natural insulation, with gentle coolness in summer and warmth released by the stone in winter.
Aesthetics
The old granite stones, and their colour, allow real freedom when it comes to fitting out the woodwork, the interior, and also the garden, which the Breton climate makes it possible to design and develop in sometimes surprising ways.
Practical and adaptable
Built in a long, linear form, longères also offer real freedom in terms of interior layout. Whether on your own or with the help of an architect recommended by our estate agency, there are countless ways to optimise space, organise it, and bring functionality to every room. Longères are ideal for combining modern comfort with rural traditions.
Longères for every project
More or less secluded, on the coast or inland, already fitted out and immediately habitable or, on the contrary, in need of renovation, for your main residence or simply to enjoy gentle summers and weekends, Breton longères are truly a charming, authentic investment, where you will spend peaceful, genuine moments.
