On the sand dunes, facing the charming port of La Gravette, Anne de Bretagne is a contemporary villa, perfectly placed to enjoy the best of Brittany. There are breath-taking views over the ocean from the suites and the Italian-style terraces. In the excellent restaurant, Mathieu Guibert’s cuisine is inventive with a touch of the sea, in perfect harmony with the wines selected by Michèle Vételé, a highly-recognised sommelier. In season, you can try wild clams with shredded leek. Fish and shellfish create a perfect match: “slow-cooked” line-caught sea bass is served with a sardine concassé, a string of winkles and a sea lettuce emulsion.

Formerly a smuggling port and refuge, Roscoff has remained a unique destination, with its waves of emerald, granite cottages and manor houses nestled amongst the cliffs. This hideaway is an ancient trader’s property with a swimming pool, spa and direct access to the beach. The chef will treat you to an exceptional quality of fish and seafood, directly sourced from the local fishermen. His cuisine is a reflection of modern Brittany; it is a real pleasure to see, to feel, to taste! A 15 minutes boat trip is all that is needed to discover the island of Batz, a “tropical” pearl with palm trees and beaches of fine sand that has been magically misplaced in the English Channel.

A true marvel of the Loire Valley, situated between Tours and Amboise, Château Louise de La Vallière is an invitation to indulge in the delights of the senses and times of yore. The château’s owners have created a world immersed in the age of Louis XIV and thus in the history of France, both culturally and in terms of the building’s architectural heritage. This exceptional property stands proudly in a sixteen-hectare ancient forest, home to a reserve of protected animal species. Surrounded by nature and ornamental gardens, this haven of peace in the Touraine region is perfect for a stay of infinite pleasures. The celebrated architect Jacques Garcia designed the interiors. Exuding the utmost refinement, the decor brilliantly bridges the gap between past and present, and is particularly impressive in the nine rooms and eleven suites. At the gourmet restaurant L’Amphitryon, enjoy the privilege of savouring a cuisine prepared with local and seasonal products, some of which come directly from the château’s vegetable garden. During a romantic stay, why not partake in an unforgettable tasting session at the champagne bar Le Saint-Évremond or relax in the outdoor swimming pool, which is heated all year round? Combining a magnificent journey through time with a delicious caress for the senses, it is no wonder that such moments spent at Château Louise de La Vallière never cease to amaze.

The boundless charm of this estate works its magic as soon as you cross the gates. A 15th century castle nestles in the heart of magnificent parkland with ancient trees and outbuildings housing the guest rooms. Each of the rooms boasts an original décor and they all exude warmth, authenticity and sophistication: also the hallmark of the Chef’s inventive cuisine at Le Club, and of the décor of the bar in the former stable block which has preserved the ancient marble feed and water troughs. The Cour Carrée spa is a perfect haven of peace offering well-being and peace of mind and the 18-hole golf course, designed by Henry Cotton, provides superb views over the castle.

Locguénolé is located next to the dark waters of a sea inlet in the heart of a land of legends. The Château and the small Manor House overlook a wide estuary where the light and landscape change with the tides. These buildings from the 18th and early 19th centuries are set in wooded parkland and have remained in the hands of the same family for centuries. They boast a combination of modern comfort and tradition with classical décor and period furniture. The creative cuisine is based on a subtle pairing of ingredients from the Morbihan terroir and the ocean. A private pontoon permits sailors travelling up the Blavet from Lorient harbour to dock at this delightful haven.

L'Inattendu

Upon discovering Domaine de Rochevilaine, you will be struck by emotion coupled with hesitation over what to admire most: the beauty of the site or the quality of the stones. Passing by the flowered gardens, the typically Breton setting of the property will seduce you as you stand with your feet in the water, with only the ocean in your sights. Enjoy a walk along the Sentier des Douaniers, then savour a bite of the local lobster — the best in the world. Listen to the sound of the waves and indulge in a treatment at the most renowned and oldest balneotherapy and marine spa centre in Brittany, the brainchild of owner Bertrand Jaquet.

At his gourmet restaurant and at the Amour Blanc restaurant, Chef Christophe Hay shares his passion for regional local products, which he serves with fruit and vegetables grown in his large vegetable garden. Guest rooms in the two wings of the building evoke the gentle way of life and verdant environment of the Loire Valley. Its contemporary decor has been inspired by the tones of the slow-moving river and its sandbanks.

Hôtel Lion d'Or 1774 - Châteaux de la Loire brings to life five centuries of l’art de vivre (‘the art of living’). Here in the Sologne region, in the town of Romorantin–close to some of the Loire Valley’s most renowned chateaux–this Renaissance refuge appeals to fans of history, romantics at heart and those who come for its intimate atmosphere and gourmet food.
It all began in 1520, when a nobleman close to King Francis I commissioned the property, which later became home to local officials and merchants. In 1774, it became a popular inn, and 250 years later, the establishment upholds this tradition of hospitality, blending its soul with modern comforts. Antique woodwork, fine fabrics and contemporary furniture adorn light-filled guest rooms, which open onto a tree-shaded patio, a Renaissance garden, or the historic crypt. The latest chapter of the property’s long history is now being written in the dining room, where Chef Loïc Le Bail presents a sustainable gourmet menu with locally sourced ingredients.

For over two centuries, this iconic establishment has been a favorite destination for pleasure seekers and dreamers alike.
Boasting enviable views of the Seine estuary, the former home of local legend ‘Mère Toutain’ looks like it belongs on a postcard. Set amid a 17-acre orchard, the old cider press and the half-timbered pavilion house rooms that blend authenticity with contemporary style.

Whether at Les Impressionnistes Restaurant or Bistro La Boucane, seasonal cuisine is inspired by the local terroir and the sea. The property is an excellent starting point for exploring Honfleur, its art galleries and the inspiring landscapes where Impressionism was conceived.

Les Impressionnistes

La Grenouillère, originally a typical regional family restaurant, has become under the amazing starred Chef Alexandre Gauthier, one of France's most inventive chefs, a place which is definitely out of the ordinary. The century-old buildings have been preserved, but two sleek new metallic marquees by architect Patrick Bouchain have redesigned the property. The restaurant, which now opens out onto the garden and greenery, serves a radical cuisine, one that is rooted in the local area and uses freely and imaginatively ingredients from the sea and from hunting and gathering. You can extend your sensory experience by staying in one of the huts in the garden.

La Grenouillère

A discreet white property with blue shutters, typical of the Vendée region, is home to La Marine, the restaurant of Céline and Alexandre Couillon. This property, located directly on the small port of Herbaudière, at the north-west tip of the island of Noirmoutier, has become something of a mecca for gastronomy. From his parents, the chef not only inherited a restaurant, but also their passion for the sea (his father was a shrimp fisherman) along with strong values of hospitality and respect for produce. He runs the establishment with his wife Céline, as Maître de Maison. For his bistro-inspired menu, Chef Couillon selects only the finest seafood cultivated sustainably. Even vegetables come from his own kitchen garden. Guests wishing to stay the night will appreciate Maison Moizeau which adjoins the restaurant–its rooms feature bright marine-inspired décor, polished parquet floors, white walls and natural materials, and open their windows onto the port and its boats.

La Marine

This Belle Epoque Mansion house with its sophisticated décor by Jacques Garcia overlooks the Atlantic Ocean and La Baule’s fine sandy six-mile-long beach. Every detail counts. This villa, now a hotel, is an ideal retreat for couples and families who want to spend some special time together. The delicious breakfast already hints at the chef’s treats in store, such as pigeon breasts in wild hay. You can enjoy all the activities offered by La Baule Resort: golf, tennis and the Thalassotherapy Centre, an evening at the Casino and water sports in the bay when the weather is fine. Here time stands still and you can get around on the bikes available at the hotel.

Le Castel Marie-Louise

La Table du Castel

Along the wine route, among approximately 3,000 chateaux that have led the region to be known as the ‘Land of Kings’, stands Les Hauts de Loire. A former hunting lodge built in 1860, this property is an idyllic refuge for couples, family or friends, less than three hours from Paris. Its elegant ivy-covered silhouette nestles in the heart of a remarkable 173-acre/70-hectare park, which invites exploration throughout the year. Relax at the spa while the children enjoy the kids’ club, or set off together to discover the riches of the Loire region–the chateaux of Blois and Chambord are located just a short distance away. Like refined cocoons, the rooms and suites of the Les Hauts de Loire charm with their exposed beams and half-timbered walls. And to satisfy the appetites of young and old alike, the chef of the gourmet restaurant combines simplicity with sophistication is dishes using local, seasonal produce.

The property’s twelve, tastefully decorated rooms offer breathtaking views of the sea or look over the 7.5-acre parkland estate. The first floor is home to restaurant Le Coquillage, where cuisine reflects the Roellingers’ passion for local seasonal products and global flavors. With freshly harvested produce from the kitchen garden and orchard, Chef Hugo Roellinger uses vegetable and maritime flavors to create dishes of remarkable delicacy.

The woodland gardens, shoreline and horizon inspire a combination of daydreaming and relaxation.
