Imagine a world apart where everything is designed for your pleasure. Here, along Relais & Châteaux’s Route du Bonheur, the clocks have stopped so that you may share in this timeless seaside adventure. Located just a stone’s throw from the chef’s eponymous restaurant, La Villa Grand Voile is the exciting realisation of Christopher Coutanceau and Nicolas Brossard’s ultimate dream: to offer their guests a unique, fully encompassing experience that conveys the true brilliance of this wonderful marine destination. Not far from the bustle of La Rochelle’s Old Port and tucked away along a quite street, this historic building invites you to relax and relish in the heart of this majestic maritime city of cobblestones, timber-framed facades and houses clad in white stone.

The exquisite arts born of flawless dexterity

In their respective workshops and kitchens, master watchmakers and expert pâtissiers may appear to practice completely distinct disciplines. In fact, they share many of the same principles in the way they approach their uniquely intricate crafts. Whether adding an intricate embellishment to a complex watch movement or the finishing touch to a delicate millefeuille, both display flawless dexterity and utter finesse. Blancpain Manufacture de Haute Horlogerie and Relais & Châteaux bring these two worlds together in celebration of pure, artisanal excellence.
