Lovers of Cancale swear by the Maisons de Bricourt and their extraordinary panoramic view over the bay of Mont Saint-Michel. Less well known, however, is the fact that the estate is also home to La Ferme du Vent, featuring six Kleds Breton for "sheltered from the wind" - six stone and rough-hewn wood gites, warmed by wood-burning stoves or fireplaces.
There's no wifi or television here. You sit back on deep sofas and gaze out through huge picture windows at the sea and sky, their palette of greens and grayed blues. A stone's throw away, a farmhouse houses the Celtic baths, a perfect alchemy of Ayurvedic medicine and Breton coastal treasures.
Enter through a room adorned with a huge fireplace and discover granite basins filled with warm, healing water. Relax, swim against the current in the gentle eddies, lean against the ledges to admire the scenery, before returning to Gwen's house for a reflexology session with peerless therapist Gwen Liboudan.
The Marquenterre nature reserve is just a stone's throw away, as are the shores of the Baie de Somme. A favorite with travelers in search of well-being and a change of scenery, this address has it all. Inaugurated in as a tribute to England's King Edward VII, this refuge seems to hover above Evian, revealing a breathtaking view of the lake's bluish waters from the luxuriously comfortable rooms and suites.
And the best is yet to come, with a range of exceptional treatments and massages designed around the water cycle and its mineral, precious and vitalizing dimensions. In the heart of Olmeto's maquis lies one of the island's most secret addresses, a residence as luxurious as it is exclusive, with 45 luxurious rooms and suites overlooking the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Valenco.
