It is a journey that starts on the well-named Côte d'Amour before going up the coast of southern Brittany. At the mouth of the Loire, the river finally flows out past the Atlantic shore. Here you can stroll along beaches and creeks frequented by lovers of the seashore, admire the mirrored salt marshes, get lost in markets with the air of an auction, or explore the heart of an inland sea that reinvents itself with each tide. All these ocean delights are prolonged in culinary fashion with delicious Bouchot mussels, oysters, fish, and other shellfish.

Restaurant and hotel on the seafront. 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. ... Learn moreless

Hotel and restaurant on a golf course. The boundless charm of this estate works its magic as soon as you cross the gates.

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 Montaigu, 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. ... Learn moreless

‘As a child, I would spend my holidays in and around Pornic. Here is a wonderful ocean realm where I could wade and pick shellfish for hours on end. I had wild oysters, clams, scallops, shrimp and prawns for friends. Many years later, this experience pushed me to build this lovely white house in La-Plaine-sur-Mer. I truly became a Chef on this isolated slither of land between La Baule and Noirmoutier. Now, I couldn't live anywhere else. The salty air conceals so many riches.’
