Fleur de Sel, chambre d'hote fleurie et calme à côté de la mer à Saint Brevin les Pins

Fleur de Sel sits at the heart of coastal woodland at the mouth of the famous Loire River. It is well known for its garden which has won several local awards for its excellence. It is also very convenient for cyclists, being directly on several national and international cycle trails - Eurovelo 1 and 6 as well as the Loire à Vélo, Vélodyssée & Accueil à Vélo network. It's a place where the creative arts rub shoulders with music. It is also :

50 meters from the beach
10 minutes from Saint-Nazaire
10 minutes from Pornic
15 minutes from La Baule

Settle in comfortably into our beautiful Fleur de Sel suite before going for a walk down the road in Saint-Brévin's town centre or a wander across the dunes and pine trees just behind the sea shore. If you have arrived in time, you can take a walk along the wide sand beaches or breathe in the scent of the flowering mimosas...

La chambre

The Fleur de Sel Suite

The Fleur de Sel room is a suite for two people of 30 m2, facing south facing the sea. It includes a bathroom with private WC. The decoration is neat and refined with exposed beams and a large bed. A library is at your disposal in the room as well as a courtesy tray (tea, infusion). Free Wi-Fi access

Breakfast

Breakfast at Fleur de Sel is a special occasion to be savoured before you get back on your bikes (or your feet) for a busy day. Coffee, tea, hot chocolate (or another drink if we have it) is served with fresh bread, croissant, cake or homemade brioche, yoghurt and jams (including the famous English "Fleur de Sel" marmalade made with kumkwats from the garden). You can also have fruit juice and cereals.

Breakfast is served from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. (exceptionally earlier, on request)

Music

Music etc...

Fleur de Sel is a place where music rubs shoulders with the creative arts under the aegis of Brigitte Casagranda, author of more than 40 "how to" books on creative activities. She is also a decorator with several prestigious clients to her credit.

It also has two pianos (an upright Yamaha and a fine Erard grand from the 1930s). Chamber music rehearsals or for small ensembles are possible on request as well as a lessons, artistic advice or accompaniment.

The garden is a real passion for Brigitte Casagranda who regularly receives prizes for its exceptional qualities.

Cyclists (and their bikes)

At Fleur de Sel, we know what it's like to set out without knowing what we're going to find on our way. And how important it is to arrive and be welcomed in a comfortable home where we can relax and enjoy the quiet (or the meal in the nearby restaurant) after the effort of the day.

That is what we aim to give you at Fleur de Sel, whose front door is literally one minute's walk away from the sea and actually opens on to the cycle trails you know about : the famous GR8 « Camino Inglès » which will take you to Compostela, Eurovelo 6 which will take you along the Atlantic Coast from the tip of Norway to the beaches of Portugal and Eurovelo 1 which will take you all the way to the shores of the Black Sea. We hope to see you see you on your way !

On the practical side, we also offer secure garage accomodation for your bikes and the possibility of recharging your batteries.
