Radical culinary hideaway
A meditative stillness settles over the Canche riverbanks, where avant-garde design meets the gentle murmur of reeds and open marshland.
What it’s good at

Low-slung steel marquee structures and semi-sunken wooden hideaways set directly into the wild marsh gardens.
Remarkable
Radical terroir-driven dining celebrating wild foraged marsh botanicals, Canche river catches, and Côte d'Opale seafood.

What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Bouchain added two steel and glass pavilions that frame the dining room and open directly onto gardens and farmland.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The property borders the River Canche, minutes from the ramparts of Montreuil-sur-Mer and the windswept Côte d'Opale coast.
The rooms
Standalone wooden huts hide amid the marsh gardens, fitted with wood-burning stoves, freestanding soaking tubs, and private terraces.
The spa
- Sauna & steam
- On-site sauna.
Restaurant
La Grenouillère
Chef Alexandre Gauthier works an open hearth kitchen, serving two-Michelin-starred dishes from the surrounding marshes and coast.
How it began
Originally an eighteenth-century ferryman's cottage, the estate evolved from a humble family inn into a daring architectural retreat.
