Grand Hôtel Abbatiale Bénode The Originals Relais
The director is proud of her hotel, its history (which began in 1880), its services, its loyal and sometimes famous guests. “The divine Sarah Bernhardt stayed here for a month, in August 1892. It was shortly before she discovered Belle-Île and decided to settle at the Pointe des Poulains,” Lisa explains. Since her visit, The Originals Relais, Grand Hôtel Abbatial has undergone a few changes. Notably during the interwar period, when two floors were added to meet the booming tourist demand that Bénodet was enjoying. Today, the 4-star establishment offers 51 rooms and 3 seminar rooms.
A swimming pool completes the offer, though being outdoors, it only welcomes courageous swimmers between June and September. Lovers of great sailors will appreciate being able to admire a splendid model of the Pen Duick 6, as well as an oilskin signed by its legendary skipper, Eric Tabarly.
