The commune of La Fresnais is located in Brittany, in the department of Ille-et-Vilaine, between Dol-de-Bretagne and Saint-Malo. It presents the characteristics of a rural territory near the sea.

La Fresnais offers its inhabitants a quality of life that has attracted many city dwellers eager to live in a more natural space.

The originality of its landscapes rests on the presence of water, because its marsh furrowed by the diversion bays presents a particular character to be discovered during walks.

Just 15 km from the sandy beaches of Saint-Malo or Cancale, 3 minutes from the sea, 9 km from Dol-de-Bretagne and its TGV train station, La Fresnais is a small town on the Bay of Mont- Saint-Michel ideally placed to allow everyone to discover remarkable sites and many activities, whatever the season.

It also offers many services to meet your immediate needs: supermarket with a cash point, hairdresser, dentists, doctors and nurses, physiotherapist, pharmacy, bakery, postal agency, press, library and restaurant.

The station offers regular stops for Saint-Malo, Rennes or Dol-de-Bretagne.
