The resort with estate for a vacation with the family - Hotel des Bains

As my first blog I would like to share a place which will suit a family vacation.

It looks more like a pension as a palace of luxury. For over one hundred years that the Grand Hotel des Bains is the delight of holiday in Brittany.

Without his name painted in large letters on the wall, we would go his way. Church Street, beyond the white gate, a building covered with climbing roses looms quietly. Wide angle on the park and the sea right in front, linden line face off: they have 130 years. Then zoom in on an unusual small fort where the "Gwenn ha du" regional flag black and white, fluttering in the wind Breton. The place has the air of a private residence. It was also one in his younger days, between 1870 and 1900, before becoming the Hotel and the Grand Hotel des Bains.

It has never been a palace. Yet from the outset, its privileged location on the peninsula of Locquirec, in the heart of the village of granite and the beach at his feet, made a point of gathering the most popular summer the north coast of Finistere.

Besides, everyone knows it. In 1977, the Hotel from the beach, Michael Lang, it was he, as it was then: a gay guesthouse, showers and toilets on the floor, crowded with worshipers.

After the months of construction titanic conducted at Mach 2, the institution reopens on July 1. Unrecognizable. The 78 small rooms with sink turned into 36 large rooms with bathroom, there is an elevator, a new building was built in kitchens and even a swimming pool in a conservatory. As for the décor is a blend of gray, pale green and white, inspired styles of New England and Swedish Gustavian: a luxury of space and light but with exquisite simplicity.
