Course Description
C'est ici que tout a commencé. Situé à Missillac, en Loire-Atlantique, au coeur d'un parc de 200 ha, le Domaine de La Bretesche conserve son apparence du XVe siècle. Sur les murs de pierre, ombre et lumière dessinent des rêves. Ancienne résidence des barons de La Roche-Bernard, dans ce décor de cape et d'épée, se niche un hôtel de prestige, un golf réputé, un SPA contemporain. Mieux encore, un membre des célèbres Relais & Châteaux. Aujourd'hui, la première pierre du groupe B Signature Hotels & Resorts apparaît comme un havre de paix proche de La Baule, des plages du Morbihan et de la Brière.
