THE INSTITUTE

A story of people

The Gendre family, from the Ile de RÃ©, established the hotel in 1964 with elegance as their watch-word. Since then the Richelieu has developed without ever losing sight of its particular authenticity – the art of welcome and warmth in a place where water, sky and sand come together in a harmonious whole.

Excellence and authenticity

The Richelieu reflects the best values of the Ile de RÃ©. In the village of La Flotte, a few steps from the port, our goal is the refinement of warmth and authenticity

Near the beach, looking out on the ocean, the refined atmosphere of the hotel in all its details will give you a sense of relaxation in the grandest luxury.

A unique setting

You'll rediscover the unique atmosphere of the hotel each time you visit. It's a veritable out-of-time experience. So much more than just a hotel – a harbour of peace and tranquility where luxury and a welcoming smile are always present.

The head of reception, AnnaÃ¯ck Magnaud, will see to your every need and ensure that your stay is an exceptional moment.

Staying for a weekend or longer allows you to enjoy our full range of spa treatments each tailored to your desires and requirements.
