Low-key stay in green surroundings near the salt marshes, not too-too far from the fab La Baule beach.

Snug in the Val Saint Martin neighbourhood of this historic port town.

Free breakfast to keep hanger at bay.

Décor in these digs is (as the name suggests) grand with killer mod-meets-eccentric accents.
