The stately Hotel Hermitage Barriere has graced La Baule’s glorious Atlantic beachfront since 1926, and today offers an elegant and chic haven. Lush gardens surround the heated, saltwater pool and create the setting for the hotel’s fabulous seafood restaurant, a favourite lunchtime haunt. In the evening during summer, guests can enjoy gourmet cuisine and attentive service in traditional French style at the Hermitage’s second restaurant. The incomparable sporting and leisure facilities of Le Tennis Country Club Barriere de La Baule, the Thalgo Seawater Treatment Centre and La Baule Casino are all within a short stroll of the hotel.
