About
La Belle Folie is one of the most creative unusual-stay projects in Morbihan. Five design cabins, originally created by students of the Nantes School of Architecture, are the heart of the hotel: Keravan, Branchée, Cactus, Tissée and Superpausée. The Keravan is a caravan perched on a standing stone, for two adults. Branchée sleeps four and is designed to be accessible to people with reduced mobility. Cactus suits two adults and two children, Tissée four people, and Superpausée up to five adults or two adults with three children in its current layout. All the main cabins are insulated and heated, the hotel is open all year round, and the price includes breakfast and one hour of private Nordic bath per night. The bath is wood-fired to around 37 °C. Dogs outside French categories 1 and 2 are accepted for a €15 supplement per stay. The restaurant-guinguette serves homemade, local and seasonal food in a planted greenhouse. When the restaurant is closed, dinner baskets can be booked. The 2026 gift vouchers give price guides for two: Keravan about €130 to €225, Branchée €150 to €270, Cactus €130 to €245, Superpausée €140 to €255, Tissée €160 to €280.
