Villa Grand Voile Villa Grand Voile, an exceptional seaside retreat in La Rochelle

Villa Grand Voile, a charming Relais & Châteaux hotel, located in an ^18th- century shipowner's house, with its pretty white stone facade and ornate pediment, opens its doors to intimate stays where true luxury is simply feeling good.

Our 11 individually decorated rooms and suites, named after fish, shellfish, or crustaceans, offer an elegant and intimate atmosphere. The marine spirit is also subtly present, through shades of blue, art objects, paintings, and louvered doors : the seaside adventure begins here.

Villa Grand Voile is nestled on a quiet street, just minutes from the vibrant Old Port and its historic alleyways. Our restaurants, Christopher Coutanceau (3 Michelin stars) and La Yole de Chris (our seafood bistro ), are only 500 meters from the villa ; our valet will be happy to drive you there in the hotel car.

To start your day off right, you 'll enjoy our seafood breakfast, served at your table, under the glass roof, on the terrace, or in your room. It offers a taste of the chef's briny world, accompanied by homemade breads and pastries prepared daily by the hotel's baker.

During the season, enjoy the inner courtyard and the heated outdoor pool, ideal for relaxing, cooling off, and savoring a drink or an ice cream with your feet in the water. All around, the verdant terrace is the perfect place for epicurean moments, with its banquettes and low tables. Our inner garden welcomes you to enjoy moments of pleasure from aperitif to digestif with a fine selection of drinks, wines, champagnes, cocktails, and spirits, and for meals, a snack menu.

And for those who want more, we invite you to continue in our bar, around a menu of 100% cognacs selected by Nicolas Brossard, in homage to the maritime history of La Rochelle, the port of departure of the eau-de-vie to Europe and the Americas.

Full sails set on the refined universe of Christopher Coutanceau and Nicolas Brossard.
