See hotel page Across from Douarnenez bay in the heart of this Brittany town, Clos de Vallombreuse, The Originals Relais proudly displays its 19th-century manor house, run by Batrice Rubin. The charm of its panelling, high ceilings and grand staircase remains intact. The more modern part flanking the old building, which houses some of the 30 rooms, takes nothing away from the romantic atmosphere of this hotel. The restaurant is of the highest quality. The pool is hard to resist. The view over the bay is superb.
