What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The bistro terrace sits right above Port-Lin beach, and the rugged coastal trail leads toward Le Croisic harbor.
The rooms
Every bedroom opens onto a large balcony over the water, letting the sound of the Atlantic surf drift inside.
At the table
Tables look straight out over the rocky coast, and the kitchen pulls lobster from an on-site live tank.
How it began
The Louis family worked as servers here for seventeen years before buying the 1890 seaside hostelry in 1981.
