Hotel de L'Abbaye Le Tronchet - Handwritten Collection

A twelfth-century abbey a short drive inland from Brittany's Emerald Coast, converted into a 45-room hotel where the stone walls predate France as a concept and the rooms are quietly contemporary. Many have private terraces, and there's a pool plus a full wellness area with a sauna, steam room, and whirlpool. It's the kind of place that makes you feel vaguely monastic, in the most comfortable way possible.
